Dalton Schultz-TE-Stanford

Top notch blocking TE that has some talent as a receiver but was greatly underutilized in that aspect at Stanford. Could see the allure for Shanahan if he believes that Schultz can improve as a receiver. Because of his blocking ability he could see action right away at TE as a rookie. Ultimately his ceiling appears to be a Brent Celek type, a consistent, reliable blocker that can also develop into a solid receiving threat and a more traditional move the chains type of TE.


DALTON SCHULTZ, Stanford (6-5 ½, 244, 4.81, 5): Fourth-year junior, two-year starter. "He's not flashy but he just does his job basically," said one scout. "He's not overpowering or anything. Above average to average in everything. He's not in the class of those other big-time Stanford tight ends. If he's a starter I'd be surprised." Caught 55 passes for 555 yards (10.0) and five TDs. "Scrappy jack of all trades, master of none," said another scout. "Kind of a poor man's Rhett Ellison. Probably a better blocker than he is a pass catcher. Not explosive. They don't feature him at all. He's a better athlete than what he shows." From South Jordan, Utah. Wonderlic of 32.

2nd best tight end on the team, Stanford does have a history of NFL tight ends however
Been watching more of Schultz, this dude really seems to relish smashing into people. Plays violently and blocks through the whistle. An ideal #2 TE.
