D. Newton thinks Byrd headed to PS, but I hope not...in a way.

Of course, but more than likely the percentage of him being successful with that stature isn't high.  Especially undrafted.  

I don't see being undrafted as having anything to do with it once you actually get an opportunity in camp. Also, all he has to do probably is put on about 10 lbs.  With receivers like T.Y. Hilton, D-Jax and Antonio Brown, I would think that his percentage of being "successful" is a little bigger than you think (pun intended).  I don't necessarily think that it's high, but it's not unheard of.

32 tears are not going to pass on Byrd. He is too complete. 

Well, it already happened, seven times during the draft. I'm not advocating one way or the other, but it's hard to imagine him being in the top 6 just based on practice play. Maybe after the preseason. 

The Gaffney argument is an incomplete one. EVERYONE was surprised when New England broke the "unwritten rule" to claim him. On the other hand, we kept Stephen Hill on the practice squad all year. No one claimed him (ALL YEAR) despite him having better measurables and athleticism than Byrd and actually having NFL experience. Every case is different.

    • Me, signing up for FanDuel Network, and then canceling FanDuel Network:
    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
