Official 2016 UDFA Thread

De'runnya Wilson signing with us feels a lot like Brandon Coleman 1-2 years ago when he went undrafted and signed with NO. Big WRs.

Patriots reportedly have 8 UDFA agreements so far. If that's correct, I believe they are 3 over the 90-man limit.

LOL

I'm just mildly suprised that turd Vincent didn't grab the draft card from Faulk and run away screaming "No pick for you!".

Also, I'm sure there will be a retroactive order from Herr Goodell that limits any good (wanted by any other team) UFA from signing with the Patriots for "integrity" reasons.

Definitely intrigued by a 6'5 WR who produced in the SEC with 10 TDs.

I don't know if he fits our offense from a route running/separation standpoint but his catch in traffic abilities are impressive on youtube.

Wilson = P.S. for TE conversion and development?

Yeah as slow as he is he'll probably have to do just that. Will have to get out of that 225lb frame if so, that's a mouse of a TE.

Ole Miss, Woodrow Hamilton.... Sounds more like a prospect from the 1816 Founding Fathers' Football League draft.

Was Wilson's pro day just a complete choke or are his measurables really that poor?

Wow! BB really loaded up on the ST talent this year.This guy-elite returner, Cyrus Jones-elite returner, Kamu Grugier-Hill-elite gunner, Elandon Roberts-excellent gunner, and I'm sure that's not all.

That is because special teams cost the Pats the Philly game and the Denver game and possibly a trip to the SB

Should see some cuts soon; however, Casserio said last night that the draftees don't count until they sign.

He had to have been baked

Combine and pro day numbers virtually identical, fwiw.

He's only .1 slower than Jerry Rice. Look at it that way.

So you're saying the only way he can succeed is if he uses stickum?

Wilson's an odd one. A 6'5" WR who logged 60 catches in the SEC -- then put up possibly the worst WR measurables line I've ever seen.

Big dude. WR/TE. 6'5" 224lbs with 33 7/8' arms.

If Da'Runnya Wilson signed with the Pats, I'd be thrilled. I know they clocked his 40 time with a sun dial (meaning he's slow as molasses), but I really like this guy. I'd love to see him make it with the Pats. Huge guy with large wing span, great catching radius, just something the Pats haven't had in a LONG time, maybe ever. Preferred Keyarris Garrett, but this would make a nice signing if true.

Except that the Philly game it was botched blocking assignment. Radius Fleming was the one if I remember correctly. And he's gone.

You know what would be really cool is if this really big guy with a huge catching radius that we haven't seen the likes of in years wore number 87.

Valentine's gonna get you!

Relatively in depth piece on RB/WR DJ Foster of AZ ST. Sounds pretty intriguing, may have been caught up in position switch that limited his stats.
