UDFA Signings Thread

[Blizzzard]

anyone know anything about Woodyard or Silva?

Silva went to the Colts

It was on the news tonight because he's a local prospect

He will probably fit right into their defense
He can drop into coverage while Bob Sanders acts like an LB

Don't know how often this is updated; sorry if it's been posted already, but I didn't see it.

Ravens - CB - Isaiah Wiggins - Illinois State

He is not a CB...more an OL...6-4 265...or maybe one older Patriot fan has his dream with a TALLL Cb...LOL

The one thing that glared out at me as the the site had TE Kuhn going to Baltimore instead of NE...these discrepencies do happen a lot...and the chaos that hit all the UDFAs is something that I think needs to be understood...Florio is very correct in saying that the NFL does need to do something about this..what make sthis all really hard in any waiting period is that there are usually some minicamps 4 days after...(Fri, but traveling would be Thurs to any location..) and that has to be taken into consideration...maybe signings allowed on Tues...or late Monday...but I agree the NFL has to make some rule..)

Don't have too many pipe dreams about who the Patriots sign

as UDFAs. This is an area in which they do not excel.

Kind of an odd statement, since they have a long string of UDFAs making the roster: Gutierrez, Woods, Wright, Gay, etc.

They got a very good punter.

Uh... really? Last year's team made the Super Bowl with, I think, ten of them on the roster: Randall Gay, Mike Wright, Pierre Woods, Lonie Paxton, Stephen Neal, Billy Yates, Kyle Eckel, Steven Spach, Antwain Spann and Matt Gutierrez. That doesn't count Wes Welker. Or are you being facetious? Because not many teams get major contributors like Gay, Neal, Paxton and Wright outside the draft.

Ventrone actually played in the Super Bowl. Wesley Britt too.

Actually, I believe someone pointed out once--and maybe I'm mistaken about this--that they actually entice UDFAs to come here by pointing out that at least one new UDFA has made the roster every year that BB's been here (FWIW, Spann, Spach, and Welker were UDFAs, but not originally for the Pats).

BTW, my count on Pat-grown UDFAs from last season is 10 (Gay, Wright, Woods, Paxton, Neal, Yates, Eckel, Gutierrez, Ventrone, and Eric Alexander; Britt was a 5th rounder in 2005).

For a second I read his name as Cathouse. Uh-oh, I thought, trouble.

I'm surprised that more people haven't commented on your post.
This is the chaos that has occured since the draft was shortened.
I think it is a warning of things to come if the CBA expires and there is no draft.

 

[everlong]

Patriots - P - Mike Dragosavich - North Dakota State

Kicker from there never work out for us.

That would have made for a better story, LOL.
