No UDFA Hype this year


Recommended Posts

Over the past couple of years there has always been that one UDFA that made the team or was a fan favorite for one reason or another.

This year I haven't really heard any major hype.  There were a couple nice plays here and there from a UDFA but nothing like Norwell or for that matter Wegher or M. White.

 

Who are the darlings this year.   Any of them stand a chance.   They have the opportunity but do they really stand a chance to crack the top 53?

We'll see it jump up as training camp starts and some of our stalwart attendees begin publishing reports here.

I always like to see a couple of those UDFAs make the team. Sure would be nice to find another Norwell-type O-lineman!

    • Arm strength has always been overrated. But Bryce's arm was also not as bad as it looked last year - he just had terrible mechanics / footwork. He's come a LONG way. Actually, his raw arm strength isn't bad at all, as we see when he's throwing balls on the move. But prior to his benching, he didn't seem to have his mechanics down consistently enough to really drive the ball. As to eating crow, plenty of fans thought the KC game was an anomaly. With a second good game, I'm interested to see if he can make it three in a row - especially against a MUCH tougher opponent. Here's hoping!
    • And that's not even getting to the discussion of that this kid has finally shown some sort of consistency after almost 2 years of being in the league. We dedicated an entire off season of team construction and money spent on him just so we could get to this point or you might as well say sample size of what he can actually give us after a full season of let down and the stans are already marching around wanting crow...I would do yourself a favor and put that crow on the shelf sit back and continue to observe bryces progress for now because it's not out the woodwork you wont be the one eating it. Lol
    • That doesn't concern me as much with how few of those big bodies WRs there are in the NFL these days, at least of the elite WRs, most of them are more fast/quick than big. It's also why I want T-Mac so bad, he'd be a unicorn in this league right now with his size and skill combo. I actually think Hunter would make for a nice pairing with Horn because of that.  Horn would be matched with the bigger/stronger WR of a team while Hunter would take on the speedier WRs. I see a lot of positives to drafting Hunter here, as a CB, but I see way too many downsides to want to take that risk with a pick we have to hit a home run with.  I'm taking T-Mac and Burden over Hunter as a WR and I'm taking Johnson over him as a CB, 100 out of 100 times. Hunter is a legitimate generational collegiate talent, but the fact is that he's not the best prospect at either of his positions in this year's draft, combine that with other issues that come with him, and I'm just going a different way if he's on the board, let someone else deal with that headache that will follow him.
