I'm shocked by this, he was my pound the table guy last year. When he was healthy he was the closest thing I have seen to Vince Wilfork in college football. Injuries dropped him from a potential top 15 pick to the 3rd round, then he spent last year on IR. So I'm not sure if this is injury or performance related.

I would love to pick him up but I am assuming he has some major issues so its not gonna happen.

Never understood the hype with this guy. His YouTube highlights made him look like the poor man's Ron Brace. I don't watch college football, so maybe I missed all the times he flashed, but I did not take it as a good sign that his fans/promoters couldn't put together a more impressive highlight package.

Hmm I though Brady already cut them down to size.

Cards will be cutting DE/OLB Matt Shaughnessy who visited the Pats last off season. I don;t see the Pats needing help in hos positions but he was in for a visit as a free agent before re-signing with the Cards. I think the injuries have slowed him down.

Dont take anyone from the Saints cuts, not worth it.

Brandon Deaderick released. Lot of DT's available.

Duncan is interesting.
From discussions last year pre-draft: more of a move tight-end, replacing a hole in the Patriots roster, but not a great blocker. Over 1000 yards receiving his final year. Lot of injuries. Bounced around three schools.

Suspect they're looking at him as a fullback, which was where he was lining up in camp for the Broncos.

He probably doesn't have a criminal record so they don't like him.

Surprise. Surprise.. Chris Martin was cut..As was Tony Creecy

I think based on tavon wilsons facebook he made it

He said hes so happy in life now he could soley mean his family but i assumed

In light of the Louis Nix cut, another that started his draft cycle as a predicted first rounder, Cyril Richardson, was cut from the Bills. He eventually fell to the the 7th round.

Moral of the story? Don't pay too much attention to pre-season draft rankings.

Your credibility is secure, you just need to spend more time there

Sounds like Jeff Luc will be waived by the Dolphins. Would love him as a 5th LB, a Brandon Spikes type linebacker.

McKelvin's going on the reserve/NFI list.

But how else are we going to make knee-jerk observations about how bad a drafter BB is?

Eagles have traded Matt Barkley to the Cardinals which presumably makes Logan Thomas available. Now consider:

Rob Gronkowski v (Logan Thomas)

6'6, 264 (6'6", 248)
10.75 hands (11' hands)

4.68 forty (4.61)
1.58 10 yd (1.63)
33.5 vert (35.5)
9'11" Broad (9'10")
7.18 3-cone (7.05)

We lusted after Thomas as a TE development project in the draft forum last year. Some of that is still there for me (note: I have no idea if he can catch or block, it's all about those measurable).
