Happy to get Brian Dixon here who isn't as good as his brother but is still some nice value here. His brother is a borderling 7th rounder so at this point, the value is about right and I could use some CB depth/competition in camp.

 

Wilson is a reliable receiver at Princeton who looked good on film so I might as well give him a shot at camp

 

Washington is another good WR at Appalachian state who has some nice quickness and did good in college although at the FCS level. He can compete for a roster spot at WR.

20 more players until I hit 90.

I'm intrigued by Jeff Demps' recommitment to football. He'll be always be an athlete playing a sport, but that says more about his athleticism. He has underrated abilities as an RB, and should serve as a quality return man to either take the Heat off of Percy Harvin or take over when he's injured. His run against Kentucky still wows me every time I see it (Link).

I'm happy to add Siliga here. He was an excellent run stuffer down the stretch last year as a starter and for me he would only be a backup so he should be even better in that role as a rotational DT.

Miami is on the clock.

Miami is on the clock.

 

And then meeeeee.

[52520Andrew]

And me in a very long time...

[Mt. Crushmore]

You just went...

[52520Andrew]

You just went...

 

Yeah and I want to go again because there were more than 3 guys I liked on the board lol

[ravefan52]

Skip me for now

[rmw10]

Skip me for now

 

As you wish.

 

My picks will be up in just a minute.

[52520Andrew]

So due to skips are we all the way at the Eagles now?!!?!?!

 

Wait scratch that, Titans are up lol but we do go to the Eagles after the Titans unless some of the skips make their picks which a couple could depending on how long it takes the Titans to choose

[rmw10]

Happy to get Reedy.  I came away very impressed after watching him at the Shrine Game.  I heard he was a do-it-all type of WR in practices leading up to the game.  He's not overly fast or big, but as a UDFA, I'm glad to be able to pick him up.

 

Gaston was a pure depth pick.  Another big body for the DL.

 

IK Enemkpali is a nice developmental DE for me, and he has added value for having a cool name.

Wait I'm about to be up again? I gotta do some research. I think this round of UDFA will be my last.

You're 4 away, but 3 of those teams have been skipped already so it would automatically default to you once Tennessee makes his picks.

There go two of my targets in Bruce Gaston and IK Enemkpali. Makes me feel glad I went ahead with Jeremy Mincey now.

Glad I went with them when I did then.  I've had both rated pretty highly for awhile now, but kept putting it off because there were so many other players I liked.  I had 7 players I was considering at this spot so it's a good thing I chose who I did.

[ravefan52]

I couldnt post my signings and didn't want to hold it up, but I still got my guys. Kerin's a decent backup and developmental C. Bolser is an underrated and draftable TE imo. Larry has some good potential and has received some attention from a few teams.

They're good picks. Gaston I discovered only a few days back. Saw enough of his ability to push the pocket to leave me intrigued. Enemkpali lacks the get off, and is very stiff in his movements, but he holds the LOS well, and flashes some ability as a pass rusher. A number of his successful rushes came through translatable techniques. Best suited at the LE/LOLB spot, in my eyes.

Agreed on IK.  He's pretty stiff overall, but he's one of those high motor, high effort guys and I like that in a UDFA.

Exactly, and he's able to play with leverage when rushing around the bend. Has some power to him as well.

Love the Kerin pick.  He was one of the 7 I was deciding on.  Ultimately I decided that I could get another guy later, so you got lucky on that one

[stm85]

Got my guys picked out. I think I'll do one more round after this one so don't cross me off the list just yet.

I'll be around until late, if you don't think you'll be on. If you want, you can send me the list of three and if they're available, I can post the picks for you.

[rmw10]

Anyone have a clue if MH and the Bears are still participating? He's been skipped in 3 rounds now.

Sounds good. I have a late start for work tomorrow so I'll be up a bit later than normal but if Tennessee hasn't picked before I got to bed I'll shoot you a PM.

Thanks. Yeah we've had a few run ins like that haha. I like your Gaston pick as well, but havent seen the other 2

Yeah for sure haha.  I know who to look out for next year as threats to steal my guys since a lot of our opinions overlap.

You are now up lol
