Never seen as deep a udfa class as this one.So tell me if I am wrong but the general agreement is 4 or so of these guys as far as we know have a legit shot to really be something. That correct?
With Jacob Hollister-TE, Josh Augusta-DT, Harvey Langi-LB and Jason Thompson-S being the big "gets"?
Outstanding post.

Forgot about Max Rich, and the guard from Purdue.
Camp competition is gonna be fierce.
Agree completely. I was trying to keep my additions to a minimum, but it's almost impossible. There are a nice number of "good gets" in this class. I don't even know how you separate them other than areas of need on the roster, but I don't even think that works. there's going to be some surprises, for sure.I like Dwayne Thomas too. He's not the biggest or fastest, but he's a football player. I would not be shocked if he carved out a Logan Ryan like role for himself with the Patriots.
There's going to be a lot of angst on this board come cutdown to 53 day hoping some good players can make it to the practice squad.

Maybe the Jon Toth rumor will come through. Other than that, who knows.It seems like there should be a ton of depth and competition in camp at every single position except the specialists...and center. AFAIK it's still just Andrews backed by Karras, who has never played anything but RG.

TE Hollister had similar numbers to O'Shaunessy although the latter has proven it on ST in the NFL already. They should have a solid battle.
Everything I own is on Hollister. High, high hopes for this one. Gotta believe O'Shaughnessy has the best odds, as far as handicapping goes though.At this point it looks like 5-way battle for the 3rd TE spot: Hollister, Housler, Lengel, O'Shaughnessy, Williams. Anybody want to take a stab at handicapping the race?
These are O'Shaughnessy and Hollister's numbers :At this point it looks like 5-way battle for the 3rd TE spot: Hollister, Housler, Lengel, O'Shaughnessy, Williams. Anybody want to take a stab at handicapping the race?

I wouldn't read to much into the trade for O'shaughnessy...doesn't BB and Reid have like a consecutive multi year draft day trade thing going on? They had to come up with something. Dan O probably was a roster cut casualty anyway.The fact that they had Housler in the house for some time now . and the fact that despite almost unanimous perception of quality and depth of TE class they still traded for O'Shaughnessy (and in the middle of the draft at that) probably suggests they think pretty strongly about him . and not too strong about Housler..
In cap sense its pretty much open since there is no money attached to any of the 5 players and have approx. same max value.
Watched footage of Dwayne Thomas. Kid is a monster in blitz packages. Bama had no answer for him
Thomas looks like a willing tackler. It's my favorite part of his game
