UDFA Wide Receiver Omar Bayless turning heads

[WOW!!]

This guy is making the team..

I hope he makes the team. The good news is we actually have solid starters at WR, so he can be depth and slowly brought into games as the season progresses.

I don't think he would make the team under Rivera. 

Matt Rhule though? It is a rebuild year. Why not keep him on the roster and give him a chance. Robby Anderson as a former UDFA might be a good mentor for him. 

[DeAngelo Beason]

Good size.  Going to be tough for him to make this team though.

WFNZ talked about him a little bit this morning!

Byrd’s problem never seemed to be his ability. Just his inability to stay healthy for more than two games at a time. 

Bryds problem is his body.  5'8" 180lbs soaking wet and not muscular.  Dude would look tiny as a WR at Myers Park.  Being fast only gets you so far in the NFL.   For every Tyreek Hill, there are a 100 others that can run fast and not get open (or catch).

Stephen Hill was legit until his injury. He could have made an impact.

Hill had legit potential, but it never transferred to the NFL

Uhhhh....ok? Thought that’s what I said.

He'll almost certainly make some part of this team.

Why did he go undrafted?  Serious question.  Was it slow 40 or other bad measureables?

Those are crazy numbers.  Even though this draft was loaded with receivers, it's hard to believe someone didn't take a flier in the 6th or 7th

Don't have my notes here, one standout season, 3 with low or average numbers (but tape was promising),  played in a lower regarded division and his 40 was ~4.62 and some other combine results wasn't great either.

I think another factor was his age, he will be 24 this year. Most drafted wr will be 21-22 this year.

He had some problems creating separation, still caught the ball... 

So probably a combination of these reasons... I saw him as an intriguing prospect and would have found a way to draft him.

I still think Gettis (from that same class) could have developed into a solid receiver if he never tore his ACL.  

I'd argue he look like he was bouncing back he jist never got out of Riveras doghouse.

But who can say for certain. 

[Mister]

every year theres one of these guys , remember lee ward?

[ForJimmy]

It was also a very deep WR draft. He probably wouldn’t have gone unstaffed other years...
