Me too, does anyone have a link to the full teams of undrafted free agents, it would be very helpful
I think Walter Football keeps a running tally. It’s difficult because a lot of it is via social media and such.

We need to bring a blocking TE to camp and Conklin shouldn't be hard to beat out.
I'd be thrilled if they brought him in.

James Lynch reminds me of Derek Wolfe.

Here is a fairly detailed writeup on the Vikings' picks. Says Danztler did a 4.38 40 somewhere, he did 4.6 at the combine.

I heard he was trying to bulk up for the combine and it resulted in him coming in slow and over weight. Had the highest body fat percentage of all corners. I’m assuming he cut down for his pro day.

That's true, but never count a pro day 40 time as legit. Have to add at least 1/10th second. Let's say he ran a 4.5.

Yeah this was an impressive draft. Spielman worked like a dog. This draft was a perfect example of trading down and still landing who you want. We did it multiple times.

And by the way, 15 picks was what we ended up with and it is indeed an NFL record for most picks in a draft. We could very well break our own record next year given we’re going to have roughly 14-15. We’re in a great position in terms of that. We can continue to trade some of these late rounders for mid rounders and have ammo in every draft to trade up when we want our guy.

On a side note, Carolina was the first team ever to draft all defensive players. I have no idea why they would even do that but it happened
