We ought to be interested.
I like Tufele let me add.
You are even convincing me about John Spanos.
Josh Ball...work in progress.

When you watch tape of Tufele focus on these 3 things: anchor, push, and most importantly, his ability to disengage at the right time.

Disengaging from blockers to make a plays is what separates Tufele from the other DTs in this class.

Ball has some intriguing traits.

He’s definitely...interesting. Perhaps too much for TT’s tastes.

I haven’t done a ton of research on him and was unaware of the reason for his transfer.
Hope he interviews well, took responsibility where needed, LEARNED from his mistakes, and is a better person going forward.

Agreed.
He really moves well for a big man.

Staying within my fav college team (Maryland), whose games I watched, I like Jake Funk as a undrafted rookie. FWIW, on the other (defunct) board, I said the Bolts should grab Stephon Diggs with a late round pick
I think this is an apt draft profile: https://importantnonsense.com/import...sis-jake-funk/

He was the Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year his Sr year of HS. MD isn't known for it's football prowess in the country but past recent MD GPOY that hit the NFL were Dwayne Haskins and Kendall Fuller. Last year's MD GPOY was the #1 ranked overall recruit, now at Clemson, Bryan Bresee. Bryan and Jake went the same HS, which is a powerhouse outside DC and a perennial state champion.

Played against solid powerhouse college teams in the Big Ten. Check out youtubes of him. MD's Oline was not good, either. Also, has great hands out of the backfield.
Realistically, a practice squad or called up as a special teamer. But, could bloom into a few runs/game from the backfield.

Actually not a bad call. I remember Funk getting nasty against the Gophers last year. Went for 200+ yards. He’s got some spark in his step.

I was all over Diggs as a value pick. He showed me elite stop-start on tape. The red flag for the "coin toss incident" showed me nothing more than hyper competitiveness. Chase in this draft has similar traits.

Someone put a quality Elerson Smith highlight vid on YouTube couple days ago. Looks like he was playing about 25-30 lbs lighter than the 262 lbs at the Senior Bowl.

Also a Simi Fehoko highlight vid. Finally.

Yep, both Elerson and Fehoko should be ranked higher on people's boards. Good value.

I like Zach Davidson as a 7th round pick or UDFA. He's in your 2nd link w/o video.

Elerson is a top 100 prospect.
