The Best Thread Of The Year: 2025 UDFA Thread

[manxman2601]

Admit it, it's the stache.

We all have to have a weak spot.

Vrabel is going to put all these o linemen in a room, and have them fight to the death, first 5 out make the team.

Like that scene from The Dark Knight when the Joker says to 3 guys that he has only 1 open position and has them fight to the death for it.

Wow - that is some UDFA haul! Did we win that too?

 

[upstater1]

What I like about our UDFA class, is it seems like this regime got them done faster than the old Belichick regime. And also, they seem to be getting really good players who were ignored in the draft. I really love the Chism and Larison signings, supposedly they were high up on the wishlist of other team’s UDFA boards. So no waiting, zero in on who you want, and try to land them immediately.

???

We have a ton of great UDFAs come through here.

What are you talking about?

This board gets so tiring in its all out efforts to diss Belichick.

Got it done fast?

You mean let the local media know.

How many UDFAs who contributed do you want me to list?

If Wolf/Vrabel/Cowden are 75% as successful as the old crew in finding good UDFAs, I'll be ecstatic.

Must have misread. I read 221. He'll make the team.

6'1 to 6'2 and at 245 or greater is really desirable in a FB (especially at 6'1 and 252). The right height and weight, and I read he's a good short yardage runner and receiver in addition to his lead blocking. If he stays healthy and picks up the offense, I like his chances.

I don't know anything about most of them, but Dippre, Larison and Chism all seem to have a chance to make the roster. Add in the FB and the QB and that's a pretty good group. I'm going to enjoy Chism and Larison in pre-season.

 

[JohnJH]

About TE CJ Dippre, he’s tough to tackle at 6’5” 255, he ran a 4.69 (Gronk will like that), so he certainly fast enough to be effective as a receiver. Had 32 reps on the bench press, supposedly bench presses 500, comes from a weight lifting family. Good blocker, really untapped offensive play. Could be a better pro if he is given the opportunity to catch the ball.

We do need a solid blocking TE.

 

[JohnJH]

He got drafted.

Bummer.

 

[manxman2601]

And another. Will it never end?



A 6-0, 196lb WR from South Alabama

The final binky is accounted for

Our first round pick is ****ed because reach in boxing is a big thing. or small thing in this case. lmao

This was just a funny, I really liked the pick.

 

[tuckeverlasting]

ohh man ...that's my new saying.....i don't give an efton about.....

 

[Jim Beankie]

Looks like my Beankies will have to be the law firm of Efton Lan because I can't choose one (sure Mr Irrelevant too just cuz). See y'all in preseason.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Love this signing. Amazing hands.

 

[p8ryts]

Barth says Pene only started 4 games last year. Did I miss something here?

 

[Hawaiipatsfan2]

Lol

Imagine the feeling this dude had right after his pro day. All his friends and family asking him how he did. Brutal.

 

[Ross12]

What is the deal? They’ve signed like 15+ UDFAs it feels like. Who’s getting cut?

 

[DaBruinz]

Pats Signed Elijah Ponder - EDGE - Cal Poly -
Pats Signed Jeremiah Webb - WR - South Alabama
Pats signed Jordan Polk - S - Texas State


Doug Kyed has the Pats as having signed 6 more players than the 90 max allowable.

Very likely guys currently on the roster are going to be given walking papers.

My Guesses is that it will be from the follow group.
Jack Westover , Monty Rice, Mark Parry, Jon Jiles, Miles Battle, Titus Leo, DJ James, Marcus Harris

Did they change the rules? I remember reading about one of the proposed rules changed by a team was to allow players on season ending/ injury, reserve not to be included in the 90 man count. Wouldn’t be too hard hard to start a few players on the reserves list untill after minicamp.

It’s either that or some of these reported “signings” are just mini camp invites which doesn’t count as a rostered players
