Finally some depth at the WRs named Kyle position.

Possible returner?

Yeah I think that's the best way to look at many of the UDFA WRs and any camp invites.

They need to show they can contribute on special teams first and foremost.

Kibble and Dixon are also guys with 4.5 40 times who have some impressively long receptions under their belt showing that they at least have breakaway speed from college CBs - Dorner has a long run or two as all have decent per reception averages.

Clearly they were not playing at the top level of college sports at Culver-Stockton and the like, but speed is speed and shiftiness is shiftiness

It's called doing a bit of research prior to posting. I had my binky who outperformed these guys that the Pats signed. He wasn't the fastest, but he was a 6'2 version of Edelman in terms of quickness.

If I am not busy crapping on idiots, Hi Wozzy, my posts are the epitome of research. I know you are think you are God, but I was wondering if you worked out the guys the Pats signed? Did you scout them too? How many games did you watch? Did you know the Pats pay people to do this very thing, but they do it without your permission? I know that is shocking to you, but its true. Here is something else that is shocking. The Pat's don't need your permission to do it and they don't have to sign your binkies. They could not care less if you are a fan of their signings. Need a tissue?

WOW. You have no f'in clue what you're talking about and are clearly projecting your inadequacies and narcissism onto others. For all your whining about Wozzy, you're being exactly like him and Andy. Congrats on being such an arrogant fool.

What's shocking is how f'in stupid your post is and that you think people can't have opinions on what the Pats did. Feel free to block me so no one has to see your replies to me anymore. It will be better for everyone on the board.

First the Heisman was stolen from him, now the Ravens invite Diego Pavia to their mini-camp instead of their regular-size camp.

And you still think you are God, but you are not. I know this fact makes you cry. You really cannot handle that.

So, these guys are slower than our 7th round short yardage RB. He ran a 4.42

There is a difference between GAME speed and TIMED speed. You'd think after nearly 60 years following the game, you'd understand that, MG.

You weren’t looking in the outback.

What is interesting so far is what positions are and are not being added. For instance only 1 TE? Makes sense. 5 WRs? They seem pretty loaded at that spot when you add in AJ Brown. Are they perhaps planning to move on from Boutte before the year? If not it is interesting. You have to assume Brown, Boutte, Doubs, Williams and Hollins will all have roles. That is 5. Douglas/Chism already makes a log jam for the 6th spot. Maybe this is a sign they are looking to trade Boutte for a 2027 draft pick?

I’d guess all the receivers are cheap AJ Brown insurance.
The lack of investing draft capital suggests it’s likely.
The wealth of udfas suggests it’s not certain.
Just look at the Maxx Crosby deal - handshake deals without a contract are not certain.

What's everyone's take on the UDFA WR group? Do we have a guy make the 53 man this year like Chism last year? I haven't watched anything on Dorner or Lacey yet. I like what I saw on Kibble, good hands and always seems to get YAC. DeGennaro came from JMU so I saw him live a couple games last year. He is decent, better than the competition but its the Sun Belt we are talking about. He may find his way on the PS or just cut, not expecting much from him. I have searched and can only find a couple plays from Dixon, wish there was more tape out there on him. Still need to look at Lacey and Dorner but as it stands if I had to pick one making the roster I like Kibble.

I think none of these guys had the incredible production Efton Chism had at EWSU. He also has great off the line quickness although slow as molasses on long routes.
I think Dixon may possibly make practice squad. The rest will probably be released barring some other wordly surprise.
