I'd bet my life at least 2 of these names are on the 53. That is sick!

Wait we actually signed a unheralded back I liked We signed Leshun!
I thought for sure he'd go in the 6th round.

Bolden is in a awful lot of trouble.

They sure did! Pretty sweet!

OT

One last one:

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

OT

The bears are in sheer disarray.
John fox isn't even aware of 1st round draft picks until they're on the stage.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

How about Malcom Butler for Kyle Fuller and a fourth.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Solid in the box player/blitzer from the nickel. Maybe SS competition?

I'll take an UDFA that makes that many plays vs. Bama.

EDIT: quite a few run stuffs

 

[mgteich]

Bolden is in a awful lot of trouble.

I agree, but his trouble has nothing to do with UDFA's. None would beat him out for his position as a special teamer.

 

[Patriot Missile]

I do so love PatsFans.com. It's the only football forum where you can get constructive criticism on your poetic meter.

There once was a poster named Pat Chick
She couldn't write a Haiku worth a lick.
She's not good at rymes
But she's won the Draft contest 3 or 4 times
Doesn't that just make you sick?

Is that a failed attempt at a Haiku? could of went a lot of different ways with the 5th but decided to keep it clean.

 

[DaBruinz]

The only downside is he won't have Kittle making roads for him here..

No. He'll have Gronk, Allen and Fleming... ..

Lol! Why is that? Especially if they offer more at their true position...which I'm sure they do. Bolden will never see touches in the back field again.

But check this article - sounds like another steal:
Film study: Duke Riley, Dwayne Thomas helped their NFL draft stock

quotes:
Thomas, on the other hand, is a little more of a project. But he’s a worthwhile project. Playing primarily as a nickel cornerback, Thomas accrued 42 tackles, seven TFLs, one sack, seven passes defensed, five quarterback hurries and one interception for LSU in 2016.

The thing that comes off most impressively on Thomas’ tape is his willingness to hit, and how quickly he’ll commit to doing so.

Coverage is important. But being able to comprehend the nuances of progressions and patterns and react to them instantaneously, that’s what separates special teams players from starters.

It’s rare to see cornerbacks willing to blitz and hit like Thomas who can also shut down a third of the field in zone like he can.

Thomas is an interesting product. If there’s one thing LSU knows how to do, it’s send defensive backs to the NFL.

 

[DaBruinz]

agreed. but i wouldn't sleep on LeShun. can be bad news for our ex-binkies lewis & foster

and boy . Bolden has a mountain to climb...

I felt Foster was going to the practice squad regardless. There just isn't room with Burkhead, Gillislee, Lewis, and White ahead of him.. I could see Shun making Lewis expendable..

If we let Lewis go we need like a 4th
