So we picked him up as a FA and does anyone know why he wasn't drafted?

 

NFL graded him as a 3rd round prospect and apparently he was a top performer in numerous combine drills.

I think his size scared some folks off. He has everything else you need, but he is listed as being thin and short. While that may not affect play, it typically hurts your draft stock.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I think we have a pretty good crop of UDFA's between Reynolds, Loston, Coleman and Jensen. All were projected to be drafted almost everywhere and guys like Reynolds and Loston were even day 2 picks in some mocks. I'm sure they all make the team.

LEONARD FOURNETTE FAN CLUB PRESIDENT. I WAS BEHIND HIM WHEN YOU ALL SAID HE WAS BRANDON JACOBS. QUIT HATING ON THE JAGUARS. GUS IS GONE. COUGHLIN HAS RESTORED ORDER. FOURNETTE IS FRED TAYLOR. DONT BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH.

12-14 rookies making this team is not out of the question, and that would include some of the UDFAs you mentioned.

 

That highlight clip sure looked good.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Oh yeah. I'm sure they all make it in some capacity, weather it's the active roster, or the practice squad. It's so refreshing to actually have some true "competition" at multiple positions rather than "competition" from our old garbage and turnstile scrubs.

It's interesting. 

 

Draftniks from every team follow the draft closely, and then as the draft winds down and guys are still out there, we hope the team signs some of the guys we want.

 

For years under Gene Smith, you'd look at the list of UDFAs and wonder who these guys are.

 

This year, there are a lot of recognizable names on the list.

 

It doesn't necessarily mean they will be better players because they are recognizable names, but it lends confidence to some degree.

to me it might also speak to how deep the draft was this year.

 

I'd guess we aren't the only team with a few recognizable names as UDFA's.

This too.

 

It makes sense that a draft that has been long touted as one of the deepest drafts ever would have it reflect in the UDFA pool.

 

I still wish Christian Jones had stayed with us instead of going to Chicago.

I can't see that many rookies making it unless they make the practice squad.

Yeah, that one stung.

He doesn't fit the mold of a Gus Bradley DB but he could be useful in some situations.

It seems like Reynolds and Harris could compete for the same spot.

Yeah, I pretty much hate Christian Jones after that.

Reynolds fits as a nickel back. He's virtually the same size as Walter Thurmond.

---

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

He could bring some value to Special Teams or nickel situations. He has good awareness and gets his head around in coverage. Also good instincts in space in run support and in coverage. Should be an interesting competition in pre-season I can't wait.

No pain, no gain.

Their were so many juniors in this year's draft, that a number of players went undrafted that in other drafts could have been 6th or 7th round picks.

I almost wonder if the NFLPA doesn't really want this. It essentially has the effect of a larger portion of their work force making less money and having a slightly weaker bargaining position.

 

While I like the idea of a deep draft, one has to wonder if it is really in the best interest of everyone involved if they continue like this.
