They like McFadden, they've been talking about him as a Center and we know he can play guard too, Laing and James also play center, with 14 bodies they are almost 3 deep at every position and with some guys being able to cover multiple positions which is fantastic, not to mention that by pushing the depth from top to bottom with the Alt pick, they have now created not just depth but experienced depth too...

ps: Bucky Williams- wait & see.

I think the roster was very poor constructed (top very tallented) escpecially bottom half was always full of wtf players (what we have seen when injuries hit top talent) so it was easy for UDFA to get on a team.

I get that is is only rankings. Rankings are just general seedings in relation to a players measurables or body of work.
But to your point every single UDFA slipped though the draft and didnt get picked for one reason or another. That does not mean there are not tiers of players that are left.
I think at that point the lower ranked guys that came from smaller schools and less known college careers might have an advantage over the higher tiered guys that were pampered and highly recruited because they want it more and are more willing to do the dirty work to earn their place..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I think most of us believed that the Chargers would draft safety, tight end, and IOL depth during the draft.
But we didn't. For that reason, I think Dent, Heins, and Barnhart have a real shot to make the 53-man roster.
I've looked at these 3 prospect's tape (pre-draft) multiple times and I'm pretty stoked to see them as UDFA's.

They must feel REALLY good about Edward's and Dobbin's injury issues...not even bothering with camp fodder...
Dont know whether to be nervous...or very encouraged...

tiers? UDRFA you are looking for traits that you can work with and try to mold into someone that can be a back up, STs contributor, and rare cases perhaps something more...look at the guys that HISTORICALLY became something for us in UDRFA, Gates didn't even play college football so he wasn't even in a tier, I doubt anyone had ekeler ranked as a high priority free agent on any of those lists either, Malcom Floyd, etc...even Wes Welker was a height, weight, speed deficient guy that was unappreciated despite high production in college, tiers don't mean shit at this point, either a guy get's pissed by getting passed over in the draft or he feels disappointed about being passed over so most of those higher tier guys aren't going nowhere because of how they approach it mentally, are they willing to put in the HARD work it'll take to make it on an NFL roster?
I think at that point the lower ranked guys that came from smaller schools and less known college careers might have an advantage over the higher tiered guys that were pampered and highly recruited because they want it more and are more willing to do the dirty work to earn their place...
Not a big deal, just an observation that the Chargers did not sign a single UDFA in the top 75 rated UDFA on PFF. After hearing for months on here that Harbaugh would have a major advantage with UDFA it just felt pretty surprising and underwhelming to me. He didnt even bag the Wolverines like Nugent or MacGregor. That is not what we all expected.
Dont worry, I love the draft and in JH2 i trust, just sharing an observation on UDFAs

Telesco got Rivers, drafted Herbert -- and never built teams around those players
OLine - continually suspect
Running game - whats that
Defense - some years better than other but never something to hang the hat on
