We have an incredible pool of talent between our draft and our UDFA signings. Let's hope that some of them turn out to be phenomenal NFL football players! Super Bowl or bust! R.I.P Will & Hokie! I want to be in that number!
 
I think the Saints UDFA haul was very strong. I would not be surprised if 4-6 of them make the final roster.
 
Additional draft pick info:

Sheldon Rankins generated 83 total pressures over past 2 seasons, 4th-most among interior defenders in the NFL Draft

The Ohio State QBs had a 133.7 QB rating when throwing to Michael Thomas, 6th-best among WRs in the NFL draft
Dropped just five of the 115 catchable passes thrown his way over the past two seasons

Only 44.4% of passes thrown into Vonn Bell's coverage in 2015 were completed, 2nd-best rate for S in the NFL Draft (min. 25 targets)

A Nigerian-born DT playing his college football in Canada, Onyemata played 32 snaps at the Shrine game, notching five total pressures.

Over the past two seasons Daniel Lasco has a 98.5 pass blocking efficiency, 2nd-best in this RB class (min. 50 pass protection snaps)
In 2014, Lasco was the 18th-highest-graded running back nationally and gained 53 percent of his yards after contact.
 
Ya know this bunch of guys is a pretty interesting bunch. I'm excited to see what they can do

Strange, but when watching Dangerfield's video highlights, the thing that jumped out to me was an apparent lack of YAC. Guess I didn't give him enough respect. :hihi:
 
Lasco is going to have a better NFL career than college career.

I just wanna see if they'll let the guy return kicks. All this talk about special teams special teams kick coverage is scaring me. Guy can run... use him. Put him back there, let us see if he can return kicks. :)
