I mean a 6th so whatever but couldn't we get this guy as a udfa??  

You don't want any of the deadly pit fighting that is the long snapper UDFA market. People get stabbed on them streets.

This pick is about what we got for Bridgewater.  Let that sink in. (no pun intended).  Getting too cute here

We have been paying way too much money for a long snapper for years now.

[amcoolio]

Why not just take a chance on a player that fell like Gowan or Trey Smith

How often do long snappers mess up to warrant a draft pick

[MHS831]

This was before Dylan Moses, Quincy Roche, etc.  What happens when you have too many picks late

[rayzor]

might be time for some new blood here as well.

Couldn’t they get him in the 7th?

I can't get on board with this one. I know it's only a 6th, but why not take a flier on someone else? I'm not going to try and pretend like I know the nuances of snapping the ball, but is this guy an entire draft round better than the next best LS from a power school that we could get as an udfa? 

[jb2288]

Is this a cap thing? No idea what JJ makes but I guess we’re looking to save a mil or whatever here 

[Mistuh Jones]

Bye JJ lol

[Captain Morgan]

His dad was an NFL LS.  

And we have our LS for the next 10+ years.

 

Details.  We all over em

Are they mind readers? Remember when New Orleans traded up to draft a kid we wanted to sign as an UDFA?

If you like someone enough to want to sign them as a UDFA why wouldnt you just use a late pick to guarantee that they come to you lol

[ImaginaryKev]

Draft was already too goated, they had to nerf themselves to appear mortal

[Donald LaFell]

I love it lol
