6'3" 232. Seems like a good power running compliment for CMC. Seems like a late round to possibly UDFA type prospect.

He might mean that they can't see / visit him

So why did we keep Davis? Scarlett?  Bonnefon?  Marty has always loved him some RBs--immediate return on the investment, I suppose.  The focus has been on offense when we needed to build the OL on offense and work on the defense.  He then cuts Reid, Luke retires, he does not re-sign Butler, Love, or Poe---and he focuses on SKILL players on the offense--the draft is LOADED at WR, so we stock the pantry with---you guessed it--Wide Receivers.  Now he wants a 5th RB--it is like he is spending the cap so he is not forced to do what he has proven that he cannot do---draft or sign OL and DTs.  

We have NO CBs and are 1 deep at S and DT--most of our rush ends are OLBs, and we have 1 starting LB returning...SO Marty is chatting it up with what will be our 5th string RB.  I do not get it.  CMC is getting most of the touches, and the three I mentioned are fine in relief--in fact, we should cut one.

Marty drafted RBs back to back in consecutive years.  Who does that?  A: Marty.

I'm no Marty fan in the least, but I have no issues with us doing our homework on prospects. I mean, we're talking about a likely UDFA here. These guys are plugging away 100% on the draft right now and it's still three weeks away.

You’re trying to understand something that makes no sense. Omenihu was a guy I loved after he looked great at the Senior Bowl. Remember that the Senior Bowl had Risner, Dillard, McCoy, the OU/Wisconsin Gs and a bunch of other day 1/2 OL. A great showcase for DL. Somehow he went after Scarlett, but you know we’re loaded with DL and had no future need in 2020 for a young 3-4/4-3 DE.

They are weary of his health, and kind of feel like maybe Tua and his agent aren't being 100% forthcoming. 

[Jared Patterson]

Verge: Hearing Isaiah Wilson and Jeremy Chinn will go round 1. You have any guys you or your guy are hearing that could shock and go day 1?

[Shocker]

It will be a trip if Tua is there at 7.

They are both early 2 guys so it makes sense either one could go in round one. Especially Wilson.

I get that, and I thought Armanti Edwards would be a seventh rounder or undrafted free agent when we traded up to get him in the third round.  I am not afraid of where this guy could go, I am afraid of what the dumbass will do when he falls in love with a player.  He telegraphs, reaches, and he drafts poorly.   Other than that, he's good. 

Seriously, when I hear Hurney is looking through the dumpster for a gem, it scares me.  If he was not so subjective and emotional, I would encourage homework.  Maybe, however, he has been assigned the Undrafted free agents.  Maybe Rhule, Brady, and Snow will run things.

I saw that the Steelers GM Kevin Colbert suggested that the draft should add 3 more rounds because of the scramble for undrafted FA is gonna be crazy. 

I would love that so much. Extend some of the draft until sunday. 10 rounds. 

With Rhule and Brady and a young roster, we should get some good UDFA this year either way. 

Back years ago the draft was more than 7 rounds and was closed to the public.  This would be neat because it would really be like an old 'throw-back' draft.
