Let's look into the film of Luke Schoonmaker
0:03
First and foremost, he's 6'5", 250 pounds. He was the Dallas Cowboys second pick in the 2023 draft
0:11
And I would tell you, he got a good catch radius, feet pretty fluid
0:16
and he can find a soft spot in his zone. Now, some would argue and say he would be more of a third-round draft pick
0:23
The Cowboys saw a run on the tight ends, and they said, you know what? they love their draft board and they can't let this guy slip from under them now he is sneaky
0:32
fast he's a four five to a four six guy four six foot five guy now he will high point the ball and
0:39
bring it to his body he catches more with his hands he's a nose the ball see ball go grab ball
0:45
go get ball and he will be your why tight end he will run those type of option routes there too
0:51
inside the middle of the field and on top of that the cowboys will probably go back to more of 13
0:58
personnel as well as 12 personnel as you can see he can get up field to block he is one of those
1:04
guys that he embraces the blocking opportunity leak out into the edge here look for someone to hit
1:09
and he did just that on that particular play and you see him again he will leak out block get up
1:16
field and get his hands inside so if you look at his playing strength you probably would want that
1:21
to be a little bit better but he do play better when he have his wide base out there and you can
1:26
see he can sneak on the flat right here and get the separation here so i do like that look wide
1:32
base right there good technique keep his hands inside keep the play alive i do like that and
1:38
even on the seam route he can get upfield to score touchdowns like i said he sneaky good keep in mind when you look at Luke he will not be the end be He will not be your first option
1:50
He may not be your second option. He may not even be your third option. But he's an option out there that can sneak out and make you pay
1:57
if you fool around and put a smaller defender on him. So I do like the ideology of going out there, getting what you like
2:05
One thing I can tell you for sure, if the Cowboys like him, then we have to sit back and wait the evaluation process of all of this
2:13
Remember, like I said, some people are not day one guys. Some people are not day two guys
2:18
Sometimes you have to look at the complete picture and say, hey, this fits right on in
2:22
This will probably alleviate some of the pressure from Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot to get it done
2:29
So you're bringing in a hungry guy who plays through the echoes of the whistle
2:34
see through the catch. He's not young over here. He probably will be your oldest tight end starting for your team already as a rookie
2:43
I think he's 25. And looking at his tape, he's a willing blocker
2:48
I think that the Cowboys will have a unique plan for him
2:52
They will utilize him to be the blocking tight end slash Dalton Schultz role
2:58
And there will not be so much pressure put upon Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot and Sean McEwen
3:04
And he's sitting there saying, hey, I got to fight for every blade of grass of chance of an opportunity to get out there to play
3:12
Iron sharpen, iron steel, sharpen steel. So I do like this all together
3:16
Cowboy Nation, that's been my time. I really thank you all for yours
3:21
And remember, you're listening to nothing but the best. Let's go. Luke Schoonmaker
