2026 UDFA Thread - aka Best Thread Of The Year

[manxman2601]

The report that Pavia signed with the Jets wasn't true. He's accepted an invite to the Ravens mini camp.

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?

Only 1 edge? Do you maybe really like Swinson to compete for that spot and don't see the point of having unneeded competition. Only 1 LB is interesting to, when it is something we all thought was a need before the draft. Are they planning to make a move here?

Perhaps the staff is signing players they think has a wild chance of making the 53 or the Practice Squad.

Just because we want to upgrade from Muma and Swinson doesn't mean that staff thinks that any of the UDFA's have chance to beat them out. Vrabel will certainly be looking among the cuts for the next many months.

As far as WR's, this was a very deep WR draft. We carried 6 WR's last year. We start with Brown, Doubs, Hollins and Williams.

That leaves two potential roster spots. For now, we have Boutte, Douglas and Chism. If Boutte is traded, it seems very likely that a UDFA's might beat out Douglas and or Chism for a roster spot. More likely, they just want some WR's for the backup QB's to practice with and get fans excited.
