Fair point.  I just think it's premature for him to start bragging about him when he hasn't even seen the full training camp or played a preseason game.

I mean, what are they supposed to say?  “He might not be good, we’ll see.”?

He sure did---it was a head scratcher.  But maybe that was to save face for a stupid draft pick.  There is no agenda for promoting a UDFA. 

I never thought Rivera was much about face saving, though you'd have more insight there than I would.

My take on Rivera has always been that he likes underdogs and "try hard" guys way too much. Maybe that's because he was that kind of player back in his Bear days. Don't know.

It might be distasteful, but sometimes the talented guy who doesn't try as hard is the better choice then the high character guy who's giving it all he's got.

That's just reality.

Hurney falls in love with "what could be" sometimes that he doesn't see the obvious.  there's a reason this guy wasn't drafted.

Good thing we didn't draft him then...you know UDFA's and all.

Out of all the guards , one has to be good 

 

Or one might just be the best trash of all the trash...eh hopefully not.

There’s a reason Norwell wasn’t drafted, now he’s the highest paid lineman in the NFL

i am convinced our only real weakness at this point is at the safety position.

He is also impressed with Amini.  

Yep and second round at that 

I was on vacation in Hawaii. Early mornings there and when I heard Hurney drafted Amini in the second rd, I tuned the tv off and had a very vodka laden Bloody Mary 

amini would not be picked up by anyone if he was cut right now

We all like to find that "diamond in the rough."  Marty has screwed up when he digs for diamonds in the draft.  Armanti Edwards stands out.  Maybe Silatolu, but he had a second-round grade on many boards.  Fua?

But also: Josh, Cap, and Hardy

Sometimes he misses but other times he's spot on.

Just when he missed before in the past that usually cost us future picks. Aimini doesn't sting as much as Armanti

Neither was Norwell...thanks for playing

When Rivera does that, I cringe.

He praised Sione Fua a lot.

Can't wait for the upcoming statement that they're trying out Amini at DT.  After moving Fua to OG nothing surprises me anymore

Penn state guy is my guy, he is a beast and will guard Cam with his life.

....this is like saying a hillbilly is impressed with a mouse trap...
