    Wow Minnifield went undrafted...kinda like Donovan Warren a couple years back...at one point was said to be a 1st rounder then went undrafted. I wouldnt be against these guys...well I only know of the first 3. Throw in a Kicker..was Bullock drafted? If not then I'd bring him in.

    It's always fun to see the rush to the UFA's. There's always a bunch of them - and the surprises that make the final 53 can really make a difference.

    I was hoping for some saftey depth. Kid from Wyoming, Tashaun Gipson is a good tackling thickly built CB. Plays the pass good and ran a 4.5 on his pro day. Thinking some ream will kick him inside.

    Mike Brewster (C) from Ohio State. Adding him would be a good insurance policy for Pouncey and not cost us much of anything.

    golden was a good corner and was moved to SS by arizona and he played very well at that position. he's not bad at all. he was ranked at about 6-7 rd. pick.

    check out the qb's numbers on tanney. D3 guy. he's very good. leads all NCAA divisions in passing. 14,249 yards passing and 157 TD's. small school in HS, was mostly the reason he went to a small college program. untapped GEM but alot to learn. if they take the time to teach him on the PS for a few years,who knows. it's still football and the numbers are off the charts. that's over 3500 yards a year passing and just under 40 TD's a year. :shrug: :popcorn: :cool:

    Ha! The guy who introduces him in this video pronounces his last name, but he goes by the nickname Ike...and it's not hard to figure out why. :)
