    One crazy mofo on defense who's going to give up automatic first downs on 3rd and 15? There's a difference between T. Suggs crazy and this kid.

    He can rot with the Bungles.

    Balls merletti went to the Colts - I really wanted to bring him in.

    Joe Long still seems to be available.

    (Not sure if there's a thread for this or not) So the draft is over, and obviously we still have needs. Furthermore, it can never hurt to have depth and the ability to coach guys up into solid players in the future. Who are some Undrafted FA that you would like to see brought in? Here's my list:

    Adrian Hamilton: small school guy but had like 20.5 sacks last year. As someone who went to an HBCU and now works at another, I can attest to the fact that, while the competition isn't as strong, sometmies there are some really talent African American athletes that resort to going to HBCU's for monetary or academic eligibility reasons.

    Joe Long: Beyond the obvious pedigree, he supposedly left an eye opening impression when he worked out with 1st round picks Decastro and Kalil in PHX. Wouldn't mind bringing him in for a look. He did have a number of accolades for his play at Wayne State, allbeit a Div II school.

    Jordan Jefferson: To me this is why you don't waste picks on a guy like Tebow. Is Jordan Jefferson a quality QB in the NFL? Probably not. But honestly, neither is Tebow IMO. I think Jefferson can run the option and do the things we are expecting out of Tebow and not cost us an arm and a leg.

    Leonard Johnson: Good press corner that is very physical.

    Hebron Fangupo: Just a massive human being lol Super strong! Worth a look as a guy who can really push the line.

    I wanted Phillip Thomas but he got signed by the Eagles...same with Cliff Harris =/ I also wanted to take a look at Chase Minnifield and Josh Oglesby but they're Redskins.

    Predictably, we signed D'Anton Lynn

    He's a Bengal now.

    They actually had a really good draft so I wouldnt be surprised if this works out for them.
