UDFA season so far has been like those skittles in your avatar!

Mayhew has this year. He said "win now" which translates to my ass is on the chopping block. Coaches at best have 2 years. Stafford will be given every chance in the world to get his shit together. But the patience with him is getting shorter.
Like I said in the draft thread Mayhew should have been shown the door with Gym Shortz. Now if he gets shitcanned this year you are saddling the new gm with a coaching staff he didnt hire. Which is a stupid situation to be in. This is also the LOLIONS we are talking about so it would come as no surprise if this is the exact situation we are sitting in next offseason.
I wish I could be optimistic about this team but 20+ years as a fan of this team that was beaten out of me long ago. I love alot of things about the roster and the potential is there. Now they have to prove it.

Who is this Jeffcoat you speak of?
I totally understand where Coach O'Brian is coming from. I'm the foreman at a huge jobsite and will eventually take over the business in a few years.
And while there is always stress and drama on the construction site none of it phases me. A big deal is a close relative having ovarian cancer. Someone fucking up on a jobsite which could cost you a few thousand dollars is a big deal but nothing compared to when someone you love is so sick.
Puts things into perspective and actually calms me down when I have to make a decision on the spot.
Steelers udfa's
DB Devon Carrington (Stanford), OL Chris Elkins (YSU), DE Ethan Hemer (Wisc.), OT Kaycee Ike (UAB), LB Howard Jones (Shephard), QB Brendon Kay (Cincinnati), DE Josh Mauro (Stanford), DT Roy Philon (Louisville), OG Will Simmons (East Carolina) & TE Eric Waters (Missouri).
See a pattern there? Yeah, me neither. There will be three Stanford guys around when camp opens, so particle physics discussions should ensue.

Was he a former basketball player? That's all that matters.

Not a TE that is a WR

He boxes out well, and really goes after the ball.

Unstoppable.
On the East Carolina website:
Position:
Tight End/Inside Receiver
I'm so confused right now. We need Kas to settle this.

So I've seen the Browns are targeting Roddy white & Crabtree thing twice already. Hope it's true.

They can't all be like 1993.
Why would they want a mediocre receiver?
We shall see how Ebron will perform. It certainly helps having Megatron opposite of him to take pressure off of him.
I don't think he was a reach though. The Giants and Steelers wanted him. Once the Browns drafted Justin Gilbert at #7 that threw out any possibility of a DB at #10. Deenard or Ha Ha was not worth the #10 pick. Only Justin Gilbert was IMO.
Plus we don't have time to develop a DB. We need to drop 40 points a game and our front 7 destroying opposing QBs and causing turnovers.
Lets share a beer about it, Packers-Brother.

YUP!!!
You know, with who we've drafted and the UDFAs rolling in, I'm feeling really good. We got some good WR pickups, lots of people to compete for spots on the OL, a Browner replacement, somebody to shake up the FB situation, and a stud WILL. There really isn't any position that feels particularly neglected at this point.
I saw this avatar and a blatantly untrue avatar calling Stafford fat.
I have not got a PM from Hater or NFLGAF telling me which avatar to wear. Once I get the PM I will change it.
When I bet BannedEpisode last season that the Lions would beat the Vikings twice last year, I lost, he PMed me the avatar and I changed it immediately.

Some Giants fans wanted him (me included). There was little to no indication the Giants as an organization wanted him. Quite the opposite as there were some reports floating they wouldn't touch him though that could have been a smoke screen.
Consider that Marc Ross came out after the 6th round pick and said the team considered this a very weak class for TE's overall and weren't going to reach for one. Can't speak for the Steelers.
I don't agree he was a reach at 10 though either.
As for UDFA's, here's the Giants haul so far:

Jags signed Christian Jones, heh. Line him up right next to Telvin and have the FSU redux.

Let's ignore kas until he wears the avatar. We do have reasons to believe he's a racist

There were two of these, you should pick your favorite!
I don't know why anyone would make such a ridiculous claim when Stafford is in great shape but whatever the avatar is I'll wear it.
Ebron will still be used as a WR though.
Edit: Aside from the text Stafford is one good looking sonofabitch.

I vote for the creature avatar for kas
Thank you! I see Idzik the Deliberate is as slow as snails with UDFA as well lol

I hope he pans out better than Sudfeld. With Belichick essentially debunking the Mark Harrison to tight end idea, the depth chart is pathetically thin. Hopefully this Joe Don Duncan character ends up signing, and we get Dustin Keller in the coming days.
The only issue with it is we'd have to see it every time he posts though.

Will be fun watching Tam miss a target that big.
