Pre-Draft Lull

The first round of the 2014 NFL Draft is a little more than two weeks away (17 days to be exact) so if you're going around the internet looking for football news, you may want to give it a rest for a while.

 

The last few weeks before the draft don't generally see a lot of action in free agency.  So outside of draft day speculation or some unexpected scandal/arrest, pro football news may be kinda hard to come by for the next sixteen days.

 

Granted the draftniks may have a fair share of fodder for discussion.  But if that's not your thing, these next few weeks are likely to drag.

I think it was Mark Twain who used to talk about there being "liars, damn liars and statisticians".

 

These days, I'd add NFL personnel guys to that list.

 

I believe that came from a former Prime Minister of Great Britain.

The Calm

The S--t Storm

 

...if Gettleman makes picks Huddlers don't like.

 

 

Normally the draft would have either been this past weekend or next weekend.  But this extra 2 weeks is killing me.

 

Overall I think moving it back was a good idea, but right now...yeah :(

More time to learn about players. I'm going to take advantage. I'm starting to think this L'Damian Washington kid out of Mizzou might be a nice 6th or 7th round snag. I want a lot of competition at receiver and we need more size.

"This is definitely a receiver with a chance to be very good in a few years, especially if he lands with a team ...like the Panthers"

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
