I like Drew--he was draftable. This is going to sound stupid, but after UNDRAFTED Free Agency, I feel pretty good about WR and CB UPDATED LIST Taylor Upshaw Edge Arizona Sam Pinckney, WR Coastal Jack Plummer, QB, Louisville Jalen Coker, WR, Holy Cross Beanie Bishop, CB WVU Popo Aumava, DT, Oregon Wilie Drew, CB, Virginia State

Great job, Juan. Keep em coming.

I think he has already signed 2 who should be able to make the ROSTER and one that could make the roster and should make the PS.

Beanie Bishop Jr., CB, West Virginia Bishop wasn't even at the NFL Draft Combine, but he clocked a 4.39 40-yard dash at the Big 12 Combine, which is faster than the combine times posted by highly touted corners such as Terrion Arnold (4.50) and Kris Abrams-Draine (4.44). He'll be 25 before the season ends, which is another reason why Bishop's stock is low. But after earning honorable mention All-American honors from CBS Sports with four interceptions and a whopping 20 deflections in 2023, he's absolutely worth a late-round pick. HE COULD MAKE THE ROSTER.

He could make this team. If all we get is one roster player and two or three PS players, well done. GREAT NEWS!!! I was mocking him and drafting him in the late rounds

Hartman would be smart to come back to NC. The PS QB can serve as the emergency QB and can increase practice reps. Hartman is a smart guy who could serve that role if they do not find a veteran.

I think this guy is good in coverage and can spy the QB. Seems eager vs. the run, but not that fluent in it.

Older guy (25) and I wonder if they might use him on special teams and as an in-the-box safety.

Please pin this along with the UNDRAFTED Free Agent Threads--PLEASE Six-year Wolverine who has shown steady improvement over the last two or three years. Barrett lacks ideal size to take on big blockers and doesn't play proactively enough to stay ahead of blockers. His lateral burst to pursue bounce-wide runs is just average, but when he lines up his target, he can be a ferocious striker and wrap-up tackler. Barrett's anticipation and instincts leave too much to be desired, but he might have enough cover talent and special teams ability to fight for a roster spot as a nickel/dime linebacker.

If he plays behind Brown, he won't see the field much. Thanks for sharing this.

Please pin this and add to the list as the signings come in later tonight. Be sure to include the following: Name of the player, position, school, and link to information or video. Here is the current list as things stand: QB – Jack Plummer, Louisville WR – Sam Pinckney, Coastal Carolina WR – Jalen Coker, Holy Cross OL – Jeremiah Crawford, Tennessee OL – Andrew Rahm, Oklahoma DE – Taylor Upshaw, Arizona DT – Popo Aumavae, Oregon LB – Derrick McLendon, Colorado CB – Willie Drew, Virginia State CB – DeShawn Gaddie, Ole Miss S – Demani Richardson, Texas A&M

Sounds like he and Legette are going to be buddies.

Thurman is probably safe, the the other two are not secure at all. I think Crumley can back up NT / DT as well. Until I started looking at the roster, I did not realize this was that much of a need....I hope this guy sticks.

I see this need--a run plugging DT. Goal line, run stopper. I wanted C, but they don't think there is a need.

We apparently do not see C as a need. The DT is a good rotational DT that can plug things up and attract a double team--I see that as a potential need.

May have been shared, but this explains the DAWG in this LB and why Morgan picked him (From David Newton): Round 3, No. 72: Trevin Wallace, ILB, Kentucky My take: Morgan entered the draft looking for "dawg mentality'' and he got that in Wallace. "Dawg mentality means you don't care if you go hurt somebody,'' Wallace said. "You don't go in there soft. I want you to be scared of me.'' Wallace isn't necessarily a long-term replacement for 30-year-old Shaq Thompson, but his ability to cover the field side-to-side and with speed gives him the potential to do that. Give him a year or so behind Thompson and Josey Jewell and he could prove to be a Day 2 steal. What we're hearing about Wallace: Morgan said Wallace's ceiling is "really high.'' He didn't take Wallace necessarily to replace Thompson but to learn from him. He should get plenty of playing time on special teams and compete for the third inside linebacker spot behind Thompson and Jewell.

I am hoping Limmer (C Ark) drops to us. He seems to be perfect for this offense. Beaux Limmer C Arkansas Limmer has the experience after starting 41 games in college. He started out as a guard, but moved to center at the end of the 2022 season. He bench-pressed 225 pounds 39 times times at the combine, the most reps since 2020 and four more than any other player this year. Limmer has the quickness and lateral agility to excel in a zone-heavy scheme. He is tough to shake when he gets his hands inside and tends to anchor well in pass protection. -- Steve Muench REST OF MY BOARD: Mekhi Wingo DT LSU Brenden Rice WR USC DJ James CB Auburn Myles Harden, CB SDSU

He barks. Someone with that RAS who competes on the highest levels is a dawg.

It seems that our needs included 2 positions that most mockers did not prioritize--note that these positions were not addressed in free agency--RB and TE. So Bryce has his protection (2 guards, a different C, a swing OT, and a RB who can pass protect) and weapons (Johnson > Chark; Legette > Mingo/TMJ; Thielen, the 1000 yard receiver from 2023; and Sanders > receiving totals from Tremble/Thomas/Hurst) Bryce has his protection and weapons. Concerning the draft, It is possible that they have 3 starters, which is good for any draft. WR2, TE, RB.

He could be an idiot genius-which would make him average now that I have thought it through.

I think they will play him at nickel but he can play outside. I think this is a good value pick and will be good depth.

He is tops on my board---not in any order, but the bold items are of interest to me: Austin Booker Edge Kansas Cam Hart CB N Dame Brenden Rice WR USC Christian Jones OT Texas (again?) Kris Abrams-Draine CB Missouri* Malik Washington WR Virginia Sedric Van Pron-Granger C Georgia* Caelen Carson CB Wake Mohamed Kamara Edge Colorado* Hunter Nourzad C Penn State DJ James CB Auburn Jarvis Brownlee, Louisville* Beaux Limmer C Arkansas Javon Solomon, Edge Troy Nehemiah Pritchett CB Auburn*
