Maehl might deserve to be a bit higher on this list. I didn't pay him much attention while in college, but he has like 6 bazillion videos on youtube, which I've been watching for the past hour....and he is intriguing. He is one of those guys that isn't the fastest or the strongest or the most athletic, he just out works people. He has great hands and knows how to get open. I like all those things and he could be a solid addition to our WR corps.

What I don't like is his YAC. He has a few big runs after the catch, but they are mostly blown coverages where he is wide open. Too often I see him immediately go to ground in a fetal position after making the catch, or just step out of bounds. He has taken some huge hits and held onto to ball, so he can be tough...but he seems like he'd content to just go down after the catch and avoid any contact. He is a bit scrawny. Perhaps if he bulked up a tad he would be more physical.

Plus he looks like comedian Demetri Martin.

I wouldn't mind Maehl.  Eric McBride OLB Richmond is a real sleeper.  His numbers are better at everything than Mason Foster and he's been an elite player in his conference for 4 years and was the high school defensive player of the year in Virginia as well.  I can't figure out why he is so under the radar.

[Skull and Bones]

McBride's measurables

20-2.62
10-1.59

Foster's:

20-2.67
10-1.59
bench-22
vertical-31
broad-9'2"
shuttle-4.45

plus McBride has 52 college starts.

What do you guys think about DeAndre McDaniel?

And have you heard anything about TCUs Tejay Johnson? I believe he was the third candidate for the best DB in the nation with Prince and PP.

[Skull and Bones]

unless Talib gets suspended I don't think there is going to be much opportunity for a UFA CB to make the team.  Same with S.  I think maybe a LB, a LS, a P, maybe a RB and WR, maybe OL.

What do you guys think about DeAndre McDaniel?

HE was arrested for beating his girlfriend have to death in 2008. He reportedly choked her, punched her in the head and chest, and threw her down some stairs. I'm pretty sure that is why he went undrafted and it's why he isn't on my list. We don't need that kind of trash.

Oh wow I must've missed that nugget. Nevermind then. Any opinions on Johnson?

[GrimmReaper]

I'll take one Spann, one Tim Barnes, and Tressor Baptise is very intiguing. Dude has great football instincts. It's unbelievable to me that none of those guys were drafted.

Every year it seems there are a lot of great looking LB's who go undrafted. So many factors we don't know about. Character, ability to learn, etc.

[JDouble]

The amount of good LBs that went undrafted this year is amazing to me. I hope we grab at least two or even three for camp. I have a feeling we might just find a gem.

[JDouble]

Man I wish the CBA would get done and FA would start!

He's not on my top 25 cause I agree with this.....

[JDouble]

Wanted to add a guy. Dane Sanzenbacher. Most likely a practice squad guy, but he's smart and a good leader to have on a young team. I could see him eventually working his way onto the roster as a slot receiver down the road. He's not the greatest athlete and he's kinda small, but he knows how to get open and catches everything.
