Would you take a chance on a 7th rounder or UFDA on this guy?

 

It was an interesting story.   At 6'-9" at minimum you have a Red Zone threat?  I don't care how much a vertical leap a DB has he is never gonna out jump a 6'9" TE.  (Well most of the times)

Story also mentions a player from ECU.

wheres the part of the story about the guy from ECU? i dont see it at all..

 

im assuming it would be about Justin Jones since this article is about a tall TE [Justin is 6'8" ; but he was off the ECU squad this year] but only see a brief mention about an app state player.

Ummm. Yea plently of tall guys have given it a shot but height even 6'9 isnt always enuff. Id rather waste a 7th on de anthony or archer from kent state. To much talent in this draft to waste a pick on a novelty player like this guy. Undrafted sure wht not bring him to camp. But not a pick.

In the video there's a quick mention of "Kendrick" (aka Reese) Wiggins being draft eligible. Guy called him by his first name instead of the name he goes by

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
