Annnd we got outa here without a QB. That's a sign like no other of the change in our FO!

We can debate about these UDFAs all we want but they are all PS fodder.

Yeah, UDFA's never makes active rosters, much less contribute. Pierre Thomas and Lance Moore are surely proof of that.

Some guys make immediate impacts, while others might take a year or so, but there are diamonds in the rough among free agents.

Wasn't Snead? And Tommylee the Flea made the team last year. And wasn't Coleman? Hey there's lots of stuff out there. Sometimes they're like PT, sometimes they never make it to the 53. But sometimes they make the team and turn out to be solid!

Yeah Snead was, too. I didn't mention players like Coleman and Tommylee because they're kind of on the roster by default, right now. But yeah, it takes a short memory for someone to say that UDFA's are just practice squad fodder. They have just as much chance of making the team as a late round pick. You gotta get a little lucky, but there are good one's out there.

I always prefer our UDFA class over our picks in the 5th through 7th rounds (with some exceptions, obviously). They draft guys who either barely played, or have some kind of major issues in the late rounds, and then suddenly, when the draft is over, they find productive college players. I've always believed in production over "upside", unless the player with upside has actually demonstrated an ability on the field and not just gone to the combine and run all kinds of pointless drills, and wowed scouts, while having been extremely lackluster on the field.

See my most recent post here and you will see what I mean. Snead was not UDFA for us, he was a brown first.

PT and Lance Moore were picked up when? Who have we gotten that's been a contributor to the team since Ireland came on? Ireland is not good at picking the UDFAs like Pace and Reese were. We traded UDFA value for Draft value.
