COLLEGE: The Dallas Cowboys traded a 2016 pick to acquire one last pick when they selected Geoff Swaim
with the 246th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Swaim finished his collegiate career at the University of Texas,
seeing most of his playing time as a blocking tight end. He caught 13 passes for 84 yards with one touchdown
in two seasons at UT after starting his career at Butte College. Swaim has the athletic ability to develop
into an all-around tight end, but his skills in the running game should only add to one of the league’s best
rushing attacks.
