  • I pulled Nate Wieting’s name out of a hat and did a little poking around the web. He’s our UDFA TE from Iowa. I found a cut up of a game he played against USC. Posted below.

    I’m not sure why this is the one game someone picked to highlight him. I wonder if a jaded ex girlfriend made it or something. His pass blocking doesn’t look good. Run blocking maybe slightly better. I counted he was 1 for 2 on catches. I’m simply not sure what exactly he does well.

    Edit: at least he recovered the fumble he caused.

  • Roster 90 maybe in flux for a bit.. but the DBN reported counts look right..just not all have spotrac'd signed yet.. 75 on roster plus 15 UDFA's= hits 90 allowed..from the 2 sites..we need to figure out if Memphis-LB-Austin Hall has committed? OR Liberity-S-Elijah Benson has? were 1 off from 2 sites

    Browns OC/QB coach Alex Van Pelt..I had forgotten that he was still on the Bengals coaching staff coaching the South at the Senior Bowl...TE-Harrison Bryant//OT-Alex Taylor//and CB-AJ Green all played on the South Team..  still udfa..DT Benito Jones was also in the South room with Van Pelt...

  • 145k may have been higher than UDFA before this year; however, it was only the 3rd highest given to a UDFA this season.

    Top 5 this season, each of which is likely a record over prior seasons

    Jacksonville Jaguars: cornerback Lui Barcoo - $180K
    New England Patriots: linebacker Skuta Harris - $150K
    Dallas Cowboys: cornerback Ron'Dell Carter - $145K
    Cleveland Browns: cornerback A.J. Green - $145K
    New England Patriots: linebacker DeJohn Harris - $140K

    Interesting. I wonder if this will be a new norm, or signs of what a deep draft it was, or if this is pandemic related?

    I think in our BB mock draft I selected him somewhere in the  5th or 6th round.    I know that Tour was high on him....for what that's worth.  I think Tia liked him as well.   If he is what those guys think he is, he could be a bona fide keeper.

    If nothing else, a good development piece. 

  • Wouldn't say I was "high on him"... I generally don't like OTs over 6'5. I never laid eyes on the kid.

    What I did say was that I was "intrigued" by accounts I'd read of Taylor. Intrigued enough to take a 7th-round flyer on him so I'm delighted to see him coming to camp on a UDFA contract.

  • This years’ “prospect X” was revealed to be Matt Cole, a wideout and special teams dynamo from McKendree University in Illinois. He got picked up as a UDFA by Miami.

    Our own Drew Forbes was “prospect X” last year. The designation is meant to be the deepest sleeper in the draft.

  • Did a little video watching on our new QB, Princeton's Kevin Davidson (#10), this AM vs. Brown, Harvard, Dartmouth. No full game tape yet, but plenty of game highlight tapes.

    Not seeing the "strong arm"... lot of touch passes, but accuracy seems decent even when under pressure. So far only one bonehead throw.

    Here's the Brown game. Others appear in the queue...
