The Cowboys made a swift move to trade back into the seventh round after their two earlier selections of a linebacker and offensive tackle. They traded to 246 in exchange for one of next years draft picks. With pick 7.29 the Cowboys selected:
Geoff Swaim, Tight End, Texas
Height: 6’4″
Weight: 250lbs
Tight end was probably the one position Cowboys fans would’ve been happy seeing not drafted this year. Clearly the coaching staff disagreed as they made a late play for a local tight end in Geoff Swaim. He had 26 games for Texas in his two year career.
