Decent quickness for his size. Throw him into camp and let him compete.

Let them compete

Seems like we have rounded up a decent number of higher rated OL UDFA's to compete so it'll be interesting to see how these guys play out this summer.

Yes, they are competing for a couple of spots in Dante's Academy, with Practice Squad pay.
Even with 2 injuries, it would be unlikely that one of the UDFA's makes the 53.

We have our starters plus

OG/C McDonald, Green
OG/OT Cannon, Zusevics
OT Svitek

That's 10. We should keep the 8-9 who are best at the time the season starts. If all are healthy, the competition is quite strong.
