It seems like every year there's a bunch of fans who love an UDFA, overhyping them, remember Dohnovan West? Jason Poe?

We need to slow down on anointing this guy or that guy as better than a draft pick, or he should be on the 53-man roster, people do it every year, it's tough enough to get drafted, tough to make a 53-man roster, but it's tougher to make a 53-man roster as an UDFA.

Went all in on the versatile multiple position guys this year.

It irked Kyle to have to have two tackles on the roster and they could only play one spot on the line. Versatility is key for play calling and roster management. The more you can do, the better the overall roster will be.

Schrader is tremendous. They clearly went after him hard, he had an outstanding season at Missouri after starting as a walk on at Truman State.

That's why we shouldn't have gave up 2 picks , you get the SEC leading rusher as a undrafted

We've signed a white WR (Taylor), drafted one in the first, and now have signed a white rb to go with our white rb…. Lmao cracks me up. Reminds me of the old patriots. LETS GET IT BROCK!

Geez no need to rain on the parade man, I ain't overhyping nobody, just telling the truth on how I feel sometimes. Yeah I remember Donovan West and Poe, I remember Sermon and TDP too. See how that works? Don't know how you felt about those picks but I knew I hated it immediately.

I liked some UDFA pickups we got more than drafting them at the time. I don't see what's wrong with that.

Damn, so happy we landed Anderson. Dude is a true run stuffer. I think this guy is a major sleeper and ends up making the 2024 roster but probably wont suit up right away

Idk if McGill or Givens are still around, but there is a chance. There isn't a player on the roster that brings what he does to the middle. Hoping he can make the 46.

There are, but this team has done pretty well with UDFAs. Matt Breida, Jordan Mason, Kendrick Bourne, Emmanuel Mosely, Jeff Wilson, Ross Dwelley, JaMycal Hasty, Kevin Givens, etc. We have gotten some decent contributions from our UDFAs over the years. I'm not expecting Mooney Ward,but 1 guy that can give us meaningful snaps over the years isn't a stretch.

I don't know about Givens offers some good snaps, but I can envision Anderson bumping McGill off the roster.

Do you feel the same about Guerendo as you did Sermon or TDP?

He's a solid guy if we are talking like the 4th or 5th DT. To last this long as an UDFA is pretty good.

He's better than both of them , but we should have waited for him to be there with our pick not trade up to get him. You see if we wouldn't have gotten him we still would have Schrader.

I dont think they're color coordinating quite the way you want them to. I think they're just looking for football players.

Good situation for Mini T.O.

Can develop here and learn a system that is used through out the league. If he doesn't make it here, he'll have an opportunity to compete somewhere else.

I'm sure Pops is on top of it, but now it's time to get to work.

T.O. gained weight and muscle after he got into the league...and hell, seemed to get faster... so hopefully he can get his son to do the same.

Forgetting one of the best of all, Azeez! I didn't make that comment without justification, as you showed, this organization has had quite the success with it recently.

Love that we're bringing in so many versatile OL. Everyone has a chance in multiple positions to impress. May the best win.
