Hell yeah. I loved this signing. I posted a couple links about him in a thread about another player, so I'll post them here for those that didn't catch it...

He's also released 2 albums :o

Did anybody else read the link that said we gave him that unusual three year deal for an offensive lineman and we also promised him essentially to start behind Jordan Gross as a rookie? That is a hell of a lot of confidence in a young undrafted offensive lineman. I really can't figure out how such a player commanded a HUGE amount of interest yet nobody even would give up a 6th or 7th rounder next year for him for a team that wanted to move out of the last round. If you think highly enough of a player to offer him the uncontested backup position behind your all-pro left tackle, then why in the world wouldn't you burn a 7th on him?

Tom Brady, Terrell Davis, James Harrison, etc...

The front office feels they have a steal. Hope they're right.

Well my point was more like, if you're a player that has at least 10 teams highly interested enough to call you inside of 10 minutes of the draft ending and a 12-4 team has to step up their offer to 3 years and an assured backup position behind an all pro tackle, then why didn't any of those 10 teams decide to pull the trigger on him in the 7th round? Surely not everybody was THAT enamored with their selection in the 7th.

Its strange to think that he would fall out of the draft for sure. I suppose its possible that we are in an unanticipated bidding war that resulted in the upped ante.

Every year there are a handful of UDFA's that get a multi-year contract (typically 3 years) or a relatively significant signing bonus ($25 thousand or so). The competition for the top FA's is so great that teams aften have to give them something to get them in their camp. However, the thing with those three year contracts is that they are almost never guaranteed, so in reality there is little risk to the team.

I have heard that he was told he would begin as the backup LT behind Gross, but I don't believe he was given any assurances that he will be handed that position permanantly, just a chance to compete for it.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
