2026 UDFA Thread - aka Best Thread Of The Year

[ctpatsfan77]

They really like Kyle Dixon. I liked his highlight tape that was posted. Now I'm officially in.

The numbers in that post are misleading.

Chism got $25K signing bonus + $234K guaranteed salary. Dixon is only getting $5K signing bonus + $247.5K guaranteed salary; the difference is that the PS salary went up from $13,000 to $13,750 a week.

Also, UDFA salary guarantees include all salary received from any team. The Pats are gambling that he'll be somewhere in the league this year, not specifically their 53 or PS.

Looks like we got our Alec Pierce after all?

Im still only on page 3 of this thread, so the answer may lie ahead.Forgive me if it does, but I'm typing it now, before I forget, as I tend to do these days. Did Diego Pavia get picked up yet? I always feel bad for those that "slide" but I dont think this guy helped himself. Im not suggesting we should kick the tires, but I'd be inetersted to see if hes got to get a real job now.

Chism is NOT fast, but FAST is only 1 part(Thornton was ridiculous.. "Have to draft fast" nonsense)
Edelman wasn't fast, Welker wasn't either...Boldin would be a parasite at 4.71....Jerry Rice would be UDFA.
Top end doesn't matter as much as people think IMO.
