    Might be a good year to be a UDFA if the league decides to expand the rosters. There was talk of this earlier in the year but I'm not sure what happened on that front.

      The old guys are at QB, TE, and S. I don't think there's a glaring need for a FB, I do think they will bring in OL, just because there weren't any drafted, and maybe someone out there can crack the starting line up at Guard, but there are still pending projects there too. TE was weak in this draft. Are there any edge guys that haven't already been picked (and that wasn't that deep a position in this draft either). Maybe Floyd can be a target to be usurped.

          Priority UDFA, maybe the #1 UDFA, he's going to get a good signing bonus.

              It makes you wonder if his rehab is going poorly and he'll need a second operation.

                I can't download to see who is available. I am in an area with poor signal. I am sure we will get a couple guys that will show some abiliies to be brought along. we have a good history of UDFA success across several regimes.

                    I thought the draft was over....sorry. I will look at it in the morning. derby time, Spurs/clips game 7, then fight night. We just had a huge feed of ribs, drinking mint julips, and getting ready for the race. I hit a nice trifecta earlier so will be up no matter what happens in the derby. FUN day....just wish I could have followed the draft today. Oh well, I will read about it later. Have a great one guys....

                        Sure would be great if La'el Collins name gets cleared. That sounds like a real messed up situation.

                        I wonder what the rules are for how much a udfa can be paid.
