UDFA Thread

He’d be perfect for the Commish role.

Hmm, seems like we added quite a few guys like that. If he’s looking for an opening for that spot, our roster might not be at the top of his list. Of course he may not have much choice.

I do think he’ll play ST, not sure he’s a returner though, he didn’t have many in college and he miffed his first attempt at Alabama :man_shrugging:

If I see Salyers & Dorsey on the 53 I’m gonna FLIPP the F out

For someone that is Salyering away he doesn’t do a good job of moving the Styx.

Either someone is just as delusional as me or I’m a bad influence on innocent readers of The Den. I saw this in the chat of today’s Lions Collective video:

He’s probably going to make the Hall of Fame.

Don’t put limits like that on him. And don’t try to rein me back to reality, at least not before training camp.

I noticed that we didn’t get Ray Agnew speaking about the draft either. He was included the past years.

Dan has been MIA, except on draft day.

I hope everything is okay in Dan World. Still hardly anything with him on the Lions site with him. Draft day, and, a matter of fact clip of him meeting the new guys.

That’s it! I guess he’s been in the building, which, is encouraging.

He’s fine. Clearly part of the new way of doing things is to have Brad be the forward face during this part of the process, which is honestly how it should be. But Dan’s in the draft room, on all of the draft calls, meeting with the players when they get to the building, everything’s fine.

Can’t believe it took 6 days after the draft for a team to sign a top 50 player in this draft as an UDFA…. /s. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Brett Whitehouse critiques all 6 Lions draft picks and 5 UDFAs, and he’s impressed by what Brad did this year. He’s no slappie because he was hatin’ on the 2024 and 2025 draft classes.

I’m posting this video here because it’s pinned to the UDFA discussion of 5 notable players. And, yeah, Erick Hunter gets Brett excited in a Jim Schwartz sort of way.

Um, Whitefield. BTW, he thinks Erick Hunter will exceed the HOF ceiling you proposed. He also brainstormed that Kendrick Law will get RB snaps. And said that OTs don’t often develop in the pros as much as the public thinks. Hence, you can work around the edges and get some improvement, but what you see in B-la-ke is what you gonna get It’s kind of the argument for Miller over the Nigerian Nacho.

So he reads the Den?

Why were Densters spitballing about Kendrick at RB?

Nobody important.

And I don’t think he’ll ever be a full time RB. But having a plan B for the Gibbs pass game stuff seems like smart planning. And if he could pick up the reads he likely ends up being plus in pass pro.
