Kansas City, here he comes

Since 2003, the Cowboys have drafted a tight end in five of the last seven drafts. Jason Witten has been to the Pro Bowl the last five seasons. Anthony Fasano, a second-rounder in 2006, was traded last year to Miami and is the Dolphins' starter. Martellus Bennett was a second-rounder in 2008 and is a big part of the offense though he's still looking for his breakout game. The Cowboys took John Phillips in the sixth round this year, and he has been a good blocker and solid special teamer.

So who's the fifth guy?

He's Kansas City's leading receiver, Sean Ryan. A fifth-round pick in 2005 out of Boston College, Ryan was viewed then as a Bill Parcells' favorite because of his toughness and blocking ability. Ryan was traded to the New York Jets, spent time in Miami, New Orleans and played against the Cowboys last year as a fullback with San Francisco.
