I would have to say not a very inspiring list of guys, usually there are some guys you heard of I have not heard of any of these players.

 

rome and severin intrigue me a lot.

 

How do we not see the star potential in Josh Ferguson?

 

I was hoping they'd sign more lb prospects.

 

Very disappointed in this list, some of the players that went undrafted I feel could end up being starters. A look at some and why I wanted them:

Allen C - Here is a guy very early on was considered the #1 player at his position and let's face it Pouncey could use a good back up.

Cash S - Just cause we drafted one guy(davis) problem not solved, this was a guy most had with a 3rd round grade.

Striker/Ochi OLB - Not like we are set at LB and with Denver showing what a pass rush does.....

Ferguson RB - Ended 2015 as only active FBS player with 2,500+ rush & 1,500+ rec. yards in career....need I say more????

Mickens/Allison WR - A small burner guy and a tall red zone target, I like Allison a ton and I felt that he could step in for Bryant by midseason, jmo.

LeBlanc CB - Like I said about S drafting one guy don't fx the problem, also this guy is a returner.

Woods DT - Very underrated and very strong at the point of attack, both he and Day were guys I felt could be later round guys if we missed out on a top DT

McGee TE - A good blocking Te with pass catching ability, had an injury but worth a shot here

Adams QB - Very shocked on this or even no QB at all....

Well these were some guys I wanted and why but since they are pipe dreams now time to move on but I will be watching the wavier wire in the months to come

 

WHO'S EXCITED. actually though. Punting probably swung the DEN game against us.

 

DE
GIORGIO NEWBERRY

Pretty interesting, played a lot of positions but also was used in pass coverage

Could not find the other 2 DL on the NFL site......not sure what that means....

 

Damn I went to NFL.com draft tracker to find the guys we signed and most are not even listed there, this don't look good....lol!

 

I guess they just thought there were too many big and strong guys that can actually get to the qb. LOL! I keeeeed! I keeeeeed!

 

That's awesome.

 

Listen there hasn't been a bigger fan of Higbee's then me have you read his story? I can not believe he even got drafted....and I am a fan.....was a fan!!! If he got drafted I was sure someone would take a shot at Oakman...Cowboys....Raiders....Gayvens.....Bunholes....all have taken guys with past history!

Yes but the guy was in bad shape not sure how it all panned out

 

Yeah and there were a few charges like fleeing, but the brain thing scared me as you know know how this guy recovers so the charges could be worse.

 

I'm intrigued by Newberry. He has the height and long arms to play 5-technique. Seems like he never had a real position at Florida St. With some coaching from Mitchell he could be stashed on the PS for a year and possibly contribute some snaps at DE next year.

Also like that we brought in the Duke TE. Don't know much about him, but Spaeth isn't getting any younger and we don't really have another in line blocking TE. Not sure if Grimble fills that role or not, but some competition there is never a bad thing.

 

Usually there would be a few guys on the list that you would recognize their name, this list I have never heard of any of these players.

 

Fodder

 

Colberts a genius

 

schooley is a center. honorable mention all-ACC. good quickness and speed. we need some interior depth. hubbard, finney, schooley and manhart will be vying for the interior spots with wallace.

 

mccord could be an interesting guy too. 3 guys from the U. all can make plays. will be fun to watch.
