Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch

Okay, I'm gonna say this as a good thing...

But I don't think one of these UDRFAs makes the team this year, with one exception...

LSU WR Travin Duval, who's stock took a hit playing for Les Miles...

Can he accelerate his learning curb to make the team, he'll be coached by one of the best...

And locals will finally have their LSU player on a roster...

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

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

Stills plays for Miami as the number three receiver and actually he's better than Snead.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch

None of the UDFA olinemen we picked up have turned out to be anything special. Wide receivers? TL Lewis has hardly took a snap and take a closer look you will see pre-season performances are back to being disguised in the league. Pre-season is giving nothing away now with teams game planning for regular season matchups. A good example was when DMurray ran all over Oakland in preseason only to have a tougher game vs them in regular season. Last year a lot of our pre-season stars were regular season duds, which included Devante Harris and Kruger.

How so? Stills had 440 yards in 2015(first year with dolphins) and three touchdowns, Snead had 984 yards and three touchdowns the same year...

Stills had 726 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2016, while Snead had 895 yards and 4 touchdowns...

Snead has had a better career with Drew than Stills had with Drew; if you want to compare each in the same offense...
