POLL: Which UDFA Is Most Likely To Make The Final 53?

[Bolt Dude]

Yep...just watch...prediction: The Bolts send Reed to PS, but NOT on the no-poach list. Cheatriots poach him, turn him into an All-Pro RB...

:what:

Especially with Mac tossing him those quick dump off passes for big YAC Gainers. LOL!

The guys from the Guilty as Charged podcast said he caught so many balls today that they lost count. Also said he’s been the #1 returner on both punts and kicks. I think he can be a crafty lil WR, too, if he gets the chance.

Quick feet.

Better catching the ball from Mac Jones, rather than reaching for the rocks tossed by "Overhead" Cam...

i keep wondering why they dont try making Reed as a RB/WR...... he weigh's 225 and is fast and his best skill in college was KR and running end arounds and reverses.....

Maybe they have. Everybody get opportunities, they have to take advantage of them and show they fit somewhere.

I don’t get why so many smart guys here fantasize about converting Reed to RB. He’s not a RB. He’s not going to crack top 4 on the RB depth chart, there is no RB spot for him. Eke, JJ, Kelly, Roundtree are in front of him. One of those four is probably PS unless he’s a strong ST contributor.

Running reverses is what WRs do, not RBs. He doesn’t seem to be gaining on anyone in front of him at WR. They won’t drop a better WR for a trick pony reverse guy, all the receivers can run a reverse, how often do they even run one.

they tried him and apparently didn’t like what they saw as a returner. I am predicting he’s another one of those good all around college players that doesn’t have anything specialized, and he isn’t great all around. Akin to the Curse of the Tweener, the NFL is a league of specialists - the generalist good college athlete is pushing noodles up hill to find a place to fit in the land of specialists.

Odds seem to be between PS and cut imo unless he can somehow stand out as a non-receiving ST player? Maybe I’m wrong but I think Reed making the roster as a RB/WR super combo is more wrong. It looks like in the last “year of the WR” draft, chargers chose quantity at back end of draft vs devoting an earlier pick to one of the quality blue chips and they are coming up snake eyes. Reed and Hill are both odd men on the outside. TBD…

Yep...and the irony is that last year's draft was deep in quality receivers...except in the late rounds...

Keep drafting a position, and eventually someone is a player.

If Murray becomes all pro, as I hope, this would be a solid draft. Even so, that 2 and 3 for him looks expensive. Potentially a starting OL and 3rd wr. Our last 4 picks have a ways to go yet.



Round 1, pick 6: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon

Round 1, pick 23: Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

Round 4, pick 112: Joshua Kelley, RB, UCLA

Round 5, pick 151: Joe Reed, WR, West Virginia

Round 6, pick 186: Alohi Gilman, S, Notre Dame

Round 7, pick 220: K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio State

Full confidence that the Staley will unleash the Murray!

2019
2nd Nasir Adderely
3rd Trey Pipkins

2018
2nd Uchenna Nwosu
3rd Justin Jones

2017
Forrest Lamp
Dan Feeney

Maybe Nwosu and/or Adderley have a breakout season(s) this year. But as of right now, I'll take an All Pro Kenneth Murray over the 2nd & 3rd round picks of the preceding three drafts.
