I expect DTs and WRs to be the focus. 
 

Yup

I want WR Jake Bobo, UCLA and LB Ben VanSumeren, Mich St.

 

Bunch of safeties:  Trey Dean, and Rashad Torrence, Florida, Ronnie Hickman, Ohio St., Quindell Johnson, Memphis

Bobo...as a Bruin alumni I saw every play. He doesn't have a ton of speed but absolutely great hands and catches everything like Kincaid.

I absolutely love the dedication to the OL in this draft and free agency

Yup, McB I think FINALLY  realized their jobs and the future of this team involves surrounding the cyborg with weapons and protection.  From here on out its all about the Offense.

I think it’s closer to 50% believe it or not. I could be wrong and fit some reason I don’t want to look it up. I’m prepared to go down if wrong

Any undersized white wide receivers guys can obsess over for a couple of weeks? 

Like Duke Williams?

I’ll update as we hear who gets signed:

 

RB: Jordan Mims - Fresno State

OT: Richard Gouraige - Florida

DL: DJ Dale - Alabama

WR: Tyrell Shavers - SDSU (hopefully works out better than our last SDSU player 👀)

 

 

 

 

One tracker I’ve seen get shared around twitter:

Gouraige is a solid signing. Another Florida Gator to go with Cyborg. Can play T and G

 

the 2 publications I have projected him as a 5th round T & 4th round G

Man id take a Alabama DT any chance i can get and being an UDFA is even better. Dale has a good chance to make the team with so many questions at the position for 2024.


6’1 300  but well built, plays fast and competitive. Won starting role at Bama as a Freshman

Really? You’re going to bring up the guy’s race? Geeeez!

They already drafted Dalton Kincaid so I'm not sure how much more you're looking for in that department.


It’s a joke. Happens all the time here. Remember all the drama over Ed Egan who snubbed us for the Cowboys last minute? Brandon Reilly? David Sills? Message board legends.

And I answered with a joke as well.  The line between slow WR and non-blocking TE is really small.

One UFDA makes it every 3 years or so… might be due

 

I think it's more like 4 or so per season who wind up on the PS and active for a couple of games.  That's $262,000 which is pretty good money for us ordinary Joes and Jills.  And often, at least 1-2 are signed to the active roster the following year.  Quintin Morris was 2021's example - signed to the roster in 2022

 

As far as actually signing to the active roster same year they were UDFA, that's more rare - Levi Wallace in 2018 and Reggie Gilliam in 2020 last I can think of.

But being signed to the PS for a year or 2 then making the roster is less rare - Tyrel Dodson UDFA signed to PS in 2019, roster in 2020; Cam Lewis PS in 2019, roster in 2021; Quintin Morris 2021 PS, 2022 roster

 

And of course, the Bills snipe and sign guys who spend development time on other teams PS
