I'm not really a binkie guy, although I've got no problem with the thread. I just thought that Doc's post really reinforced the likely reality. People will love their binkies, and their binkies will become cuts or end of roster players. Even a UFDA success story like Kyle Love ends up summarily dismissed.
It's a great way to pass the time, but the measureables stuff gets really annoying:
"UFDA1 has the same measurables as Reggie White!"
Yeah, so did a thousand other players who never made a roster.
I'm bored so I found a way to pass the time
Kyle Love was not summarily dismissed due to his football play - neither was Mike Wright both UDFA starters for one of the best teams in football. Same with Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis, Wes Welker, and Danny Woodhead. And the following UDFA's will "likely" be on this years roster (with at least 5 of them as starters):
WR Amendola / Jones
OL Connolly / Wendell / McDonald
RB Bolden / Blount
TE Ballard / Fells
DL Kelly / Armstead / Francis / Forston / Benard
LB Fletcher
DB Gregory / Arrington
LS Aiken
That's not counting any from this year (Grissom - Stankiewwitch - Sudfeld etc)
20 UDFA's is not the end of the roster. Now does each of these players have a weakness in their game - yes. But that is what the coaching staff is for. To get them to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
As Mike Reiss said of Tavon Wilson
"There isn’t one physical trait that stands out. He’s a solid player with the desired work ethic, but unlike 2013 top pick Jamie Collins (52nd overall pick) – who has uncommon athleticism that if harnessed could produce big results – Wilson doesn’t seem to have as high of a ceiling."
That describes all of the UDFA's
But enough of them make for good football players.
