I think he's safe as the WR4, but we'll see.

So are we at 90 now? Five UDFAs signed.

My guess is that Gibson has a better shot to end up being our WR4. I'm still rooting for Dobson but I've almost lost hope.

If my math is correct, the five undrafted free agents brings the Patriots up to a full 90 on their roster.

I don't recall not just the Patriots, but any NFL team in recent years having their roster so full by the end of the draft that they could sign so few UDFAs. I think you would have to go back to the days of 17-round drafts to have fewer UDFAs.

Harper looks a lot better than T.J. Moe. even if he is smaller.

The trend of selecting players who play several positions continues.. Gardner(QB & WR), King(S&DE)...

And of course there is the prerequisite angry guy who was not drafted, because he did not fit the "mold".. Andrews...

Finally - Browner's replacement - size, first name, etc.!

Something about Harper. I think I found a binky. Looks like a good punt returner

Brady, Minitron and Gardner on the field all at the same time......triple throw back!

For the Gardner is the next Edelman crowd, it's worth noting that he was switched to WR in college for a bit. He was behind Dennard Robinson at QB so started the 2012 season as a WR. He actually led the team with 11 catches for 195 yards and 3 TDs after 4 games, but didn't produce much in his next 4 games and then an injury to Robinson pushed him back to QB.

So he's got a bit of a head start compared to where Jules was. Doesn't mean he will make the transition as successfully, just that the potential is worth exploring.

So we signed Gardner and Harper? Bombs away! We'll be throwing the deep ball on every play. That's how this offense is designed.

Jimmy Jean is a legit name lol? Sounds like a hillbilly.

He was even talking like BB before he was drafted.........

>>>>Andrews, a three-year starter for Georgia and a finalist for the Rimington Trophy for top players at his position, didn’t get an invite.

“It is what it is,” Andrews said. “It’s just fuel for the fire for me. Obviously, it does tick you off that some people don’t feel like you’re good enough to be invited for that. I know I am. I know I’m a good football player.”<<<<<

Don't know much about Andrews, but most of Gurley's highlight reel that I saw showed him running through gaping interior holes.

What are the chances he becomes a better WR than Julian Edelman???
