UDFA class of 2016 rankings on NFL.com

I didnt see this posted elsewhere so apologies if it is and I missed it (and please lock it or delete it mods) - I thought given the excitement over some of the signings it might be of interest.

CAR was ranked 5th (a little low compared to the ones ranked ahead of us in my opinion). NO was ranked first, and TB third.

Interesting comments on McGee, he hasn't gotten much attention due to Cash (more glowing comments below) and Garrett.

5. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers matched the Saints' league-low five draft picks, so they were looking hard at UDFA talent. I guess Jeremy Cash was considered a 'tweener by NFL teams, but I'll take him on my team anytime. Whether he plays safety or linebacker for the Panthers, he'll make plays.Keyarris Garrett was another find after the draft who will be in the mix for the fifth receiver spot. Though Beau Sandland was drafted by Carolina due to his athletic skill set, UDFA signee Jake McGee is the better player right now. Jared Norris should stick as a capable inside/outside linebacker and special-teams force.

I don't envy other teams for their UDFA collection. We got some good ones. Both Cash and Garrett were expected to be mid round picks. PFF rated them the top 2 available.

Ya know, this makes no sense to me.  If you look at the list of top rated UDFAs, we got 3 of the top 10, including the top 2.  So how are we ranked 5th as far as UDFA pickups?  But then, NO and TB are going to be at the top of every list of "Golly gee, look who's going to winz the Super Bowlz this year." 

Now, perhaps if they are talking about immediate starters or highly impactful players...mmm, perhaps I can see it.  Just look at the teams listed before us and then take a look at last years rosters for those teams.  It wouldm't take much to be an upgrade or have an impact in a lot of positions on those teams whereas we have a very strong roster going into the the draft.  While our roster wasn't "complete" (very few NFL teams are) we are very close so the UDFAs might not make that much of an impact the first year...IF they make the team at all.  But I think a couple of them will.

The fact they think Jared Norris is going to win a roster spot at LB/ST says a lot about this list
