Are you trying to get me to squel like a girl right now, cause I'll do it.
I saw it from two different sources so squeal away! Though one of those sources is MKC so...

I'd be amazed if Shaw made the team
-
I think we should still look into a FA vet under age 30. We need some leadership in this receiver corps.
-
Me too. Bollough (spelling), skov and Jones fell out. I would take either one. Could make #3 or #4 on the ILB depth chart ahead or behind of Robertson
-
Both Jones and Snead look like good pick ups. Snead looks like a Welker clone with more height. I think if Jones had been invited to the combine like he should have, he would have been drafted, but since he didn't and he was just at San Jose State, he got over looked. If I were the Ravens, I would have drafted Jones over who they got with our 7th round pick.

wasn't jones on the failed combine piss test list?
i think right now might not be a good time for this FO to be looking at someone with a red flag for flunking a piss test.
keep walking.

Is there a list somewhere of all the signings?

I'd be amazed if Shaw made the team
He is a very interesting prospect. He is lanky and isnt afraid to put his body on the line. He has a nice jab step to elude defenders
He looks really thin so he may get dinged up bit I he is my favorite to make the team so fat, I really like Mike Davis from Texas.

Willie Snead (WR):
Analysis
Strengths
Controlled mover with nice balance. Gets in and out of breaks cleanly. Runs crisp routes -- shows some savvy and subtle physicality to work himself open. Tracks and adjusts very well. Has soft, sure hands and catches naturally. Good concentration to make contested catches. Confident and competitive. Excellent two-year production.
Weaknesses
Lacks ideal height. Fairly monotone -- does not have explosive speed to separate vertically. Too many catches are contested. Lacks wiggle to elude tacklers and create after the catch. Did not face top-notch competition.
Draft Projection
Rounds 6-7
Bottom Line
Productive, dependable, fairly polished possession receiver with natural receiving skills. Lacks ideal size and horsepower to thrive outside, but his sure hands give him a chance to compete for a role as a chain-moving, short-to-intermediate slot receiver.
-
Connor Shaw, QB, South Carolina, signed by Browns.
We went from two QBs to six pretty quickly.
Going to be a fun and competitive camp at QB, WR, OL, RB ... not to mention then new corners and new linebacker in the mix on defense.
I'm pumped ... and the (only) good thing about the draft being in May ... July is not that far away!

Chandler Jones (WR):
Strengths
Has a feel for where to settle in zone coverage. Shows toughness to catch in traffic. Confident and competitive.
Weaknesses
Is short with very short arms and small hands. Not exceptionally fast for a smaller receiver. Average creativity and limited strength after the catch. Production inflated by lateral passing game and porous defenses.
Draft Projection
Round 7-Priority free agent
Bottom Line
Smallish, productive slot receiver who plays bigger than his size and flashes the short-area quickness and zone awareness to compete for a job. Small hands and lack of physicality are limiting factors.

Just updated the front page including rookie mini camp invites.
-
Carlo Calabrese (ILB):
Strengths
Tough, physical and aggressive. Quick to trigger downhill and plug holes. Intense, active and energetic.
Weaknesses
Has short arms and heavy feet and average athletic ability. Bites on play-action hard and can be late locating the football. Marginal knock-back body power. Is a liability in coverage and often exits the game in passing situations. Limited cover skills. Is late to reach the perimeter.
Draft Projection
Priority free agent
Bottom Line
An undersized, two-down, Mike linebacker lacking ideal speed
