    Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like there's not that big of a difference in quality from rounds 6/7 to UFA.

    I love that we're trading our latter picks to move up in the earlier rounds, and just banking on hitting on UFAs rather than 6s and 7s.

    Ya surprised he didn't get drafted. But remember these guys should go to the best situation offered to them. With Nick Martin and 2 potential backups (if he's the starter), probably get a better offer elsewhere.

    Anderson (6'2/230) was a 25-game starter for the Cal Bears, tallying 1,260 yards and seven TDs on 101 catches (12.5 YPR). He earned honorable mention All-Pac 12 as a senior. Anderson showed plus athleticism before the draft, running 4.64 with a 38-inch vertical and earning an 80th-percentile SPARQ score. A "rocked-up" wide receiver, Anderson profiles as a catch-first tight end capable of creating matchup problems in the middle of the field. Anderson has a chance to become a better NFL than college player if he earns the opportunities.

    Absolute steal. This guy's a ****ing ballhawk. If he plays the same way he did at Texas he's gonna be a future starter

    Anybody know what's going on with Cash? Based on Mocks he had a 2nd or 3rd round grade, yet it still seems he hasn't even been signed as a UDFA?

    There's a big difference. Jalen Mills, Vadal Alexander, Scooby Wright, Peake, and Matekevich are all better than the UDFAs.

    Ben Braunecker, the TE from Harvard would be great here. Texans worked him out before
