The Dallas Cowboys have selected tight end Dalton Schultz out of Stanford with the 137th pick in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

It was reported Friday that 15-year veteran Jason Witten is planning to retire in favor of an opportunity with ESPN's Monday Night Football as an analyst.

Schultz caught 20 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns in his final year at Stanford.

What the analysts are saying

  • "While his frame could still use more mass, he plays with good technique and play strength at the point of attack and shows an ability to impose his will upon edge defenders if they half-step into the rep." Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "Schultz lacks a true distinguishing trait with ordinary athleticism and strength, but he is assignment sound and tough and can be an asset for an NFL offense." Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
