Steelers did great, so did the Bengals and Pats I think.

Ravens, NYG and GB did OK it seems.

1 thing that stood out to me: all kinds of QB's were taken in the later rounds but not Kellen Moore?

In todays TE crazy NFL he will carve defenses, pass by pass... I just don't get it

Gene

don't forget all the UDFA signings, I'm sure there will be more as the weeks go by as well....

i think the colts did well also to add to your list theo...matching ALuck with his go to TE was a great move by them..

Steelers are off to a good start with UFAs as well, so far:
2 OLB
2 CB
2 WR
2 OG
2 DE
1 K
1 P
Looks like the Stillers might actually have some much needed depth this year, WOOT!!!!!

The knock on Kellen Moore is his size and lack of a rocket arm, that said, I think he will be a FANTASTIC pick up for a VERY lucky team as a UFA. Realistically it was better that he was NOT drafted, at least as a UFA he gets to pick where he goes and find the best situation for him. The "pundits" focus on every player meeting the physical mold to be drafted is a little silly, being 6' even didn't bother Drew Brees much - has it? Dew also doesn't have the prototypical "Laser arm" of other QB's and he's done fairly well for himself.
I think Kellen Moore will start as a back up, and IMHO he will be starting in less than 3 years, he's a winner (as his 51-3 record as a starter can attest) and he will prove himself.
Best place for him? Miami, because if Tannehill falters at all the fans will force them to put Moore into the game.

Bears signed 11 UDFA's..

The Bears have agreed to terms with 11 undrafted rookie free agents, the club announced on Saturday. defensive tackle Ronnie Cameron; Troy OT James Brown; Wayne State safetyJeremy Jones; Maine safety Trevor Colston and Southern Mississippi linebacker Ronnie Thornton.



James Brown OT , happy about that pick up, hope he makes it out of camp, onto the roster, and provides some help...

True, I do think they dropped the ball on the defensive side though since they were basically awful there. I understand you'd want to surround your new face of the franchise with weapons but no D at all isn't very beneficial for his development either I'd say...

I do believe I forgot the Vikings though, they drafted well though there are so much holes to fill there it might not show as much as elsewhere...


Agreed, the height argument did puzzle me though, Russell Wilson who got drafted by the Seahawks was even smaller. Detroit might be an OK place for Moore, Stafford is clearly entrenched but still isn't the most durable in my book.

On the other hand the Mayock said he hasn't got draftable skills and he is usually right... Getting the ball faster out of your hands than any other QB and tons of football IQ seem draftable to me though?

I agree, if you have watched Moore play in college then you know the skills are there. Does he have the "rocket" arm? No. Is he the prototypical size? No. However, his decision making and ability to read a defense cannot really be questioned, he was 51-3 as a starter, you don't do that with crappy decisions. The kid deserves a chance, and you might be right, he would get that chance in Detroit, where Stafford is a good QB but has all the durability of a paper plate.
