Official 2017 UDFA Thread

David Jones is coming to the right city, if he habitually pukes before all games. Bill Russell did the same thing throughout his career.

And yet...despite the crowded roster, would it be shocking for Langi, Augusta, Thompson and one of the OGs to all make it? No roster is really "full," it seems.

And we are one dlinemen or LB injury away from it being probable for guys like langi and Augusta.

If you are on the 90, you always have a shot here at the 53.

Id bet David Jones will make it - or redshirted .

Look at his film and then Richards from college.

This is not good news for Richards..

List all the locks (say 95% or better, since this is BB), and the numbers come more into focus. Just looking at the offense, I see

3 QBs
3 RBs
2 TEs
5 WRs
2 OTs
2 OGs

How many do you have?

He's gonna need a redshirt year, but he can make a career for himself.

Great weekend and a great year with all y'all. Wish I had been around a bit more the last month, but they killed this draft.

Only about halfway there if they're going to fill the roster

Speaking of uniting brothers, don't forget Deatrich Wise called Trey Flowers his big brother

And Flowers feels the same about him:

It's kind of amazing how a team like the Pats who wins so many games, yet seemingly every year grabs an UDFA after the draft that not only makes the team, but becomes a contributor as well. Butler, Andrews, Coleman, JJones, Foster are just recent memebers of that select club.

UDFA's come to NE because we have the reputation that once you get to the fiekd what your draft pedigree is doesn't matter. They also know that they will be coached well, and other teams are aways sniffing around Pats players looking to find some BB coached guys to grab. So whether they make the team or not, its still a good career move to sign here.

Here's my list heading into today:
Resetting for day 3

Add Wise, David Jones, Langi .. and it's full

Pats cleaned the undrafted cupboards bare. Nice haul. They've had plenty of good drafts in the past, but I've never seen them get their potential bang for their buck with less.

Was watching a Zach Cunningham game and one player really stood out. Had to look him up. It was Butler.

Brody to Quint:

"You're gonna need a bigger buffet table."

David Jones, if healthy, might actually make the team AND play. 4.43 speed and he's a tackling machine. Watch his tape.

Playing it safe I see .. have to have at least one Butler..

Liked some of his tape

DL Adam Butler, Vanderbilt (6’4, 300) - /versatile, motor, rush / not @Combine

You've got four listed as locks that I wouldn't put in that category (I just did offense, so there may be more on defense)

Develin
Andrews
Fleming
Garcia

but everyone's idea of "lock" may vary a bit.
