Would've been very happy signing Storm Norton, but hear he's headed to the Loins.
Guys I'd like to see in navy/orange:
Max Rich, t, Harvard
Krishawn Hogan, wr, Marian (IN)
Patrick Ricard, nt, Maine
Fadol Brown, de, Mississippi
Jhaustin Thomas, de, Iowa St
Rashaad Coward, de, Old Dominion
JoJo Mathis, edge Washington
Darius English, edge, South Carolina
Richie Brown, lb, Mississippi St
I literally have no DBs left on my list in which I see appealing traits. So there's that.

Travis Rudolph. Guy I want to see succeed in life.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

Others:
Tim Patrick...needs to get healthy and avoid injury, but he's a great prospect to red shirt to see if he can do it
Krishawn Hogan...56 TD's means he knows the red zone and can catch in traffic. worth a look
Jaron Jones...talent is there, desire lacking? worth a risk as an undrafted guy
Tashawn Bower...interesting developmental player
Collin Bevins...convert to O line? Guy has the skills, doesn't have the greatest frame. Might still be decent at 5T
David Jones...injury risk players are worth bringing in undrafted. No risk, high reward guy

Ricky Seals Jones is an athlete, but he isn't a football player.
Holy Shit - We got Justin Fields!

Sounds like we signed Dieugot Joseph. Excellent news; I'd have been fine with him in the fifth.
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

Coward is a great signing. Linval Joseph upside. But David Jones and Lorenzo Jerome really should be here.

I like the Gentry signing. When watching the Allen highlights when he might be our pick the kid was making plays all over the place.

Royal, gotta hope. He just hasn't had it here. Liked him in Denver. Thought he was a sop to Cutler when Marshall was axed. Need guys who can return punts tho. Who are they?

Is Lamar Houston going to stay on the team? They haven't really tried to replace him and I find that shocking...

I thought they might go for one - but only because it was such a great draft class.
McPhee is slightly more breaky and slightly less good and Acho is just veteran filler

Skinny and (thus) injury-prone. But the same height as Meredith and White, so a reasonable substitute for Trubisky to aim at in preseason.

I like Rashaad Coward. He had really good tape vs. NC State this year. He plays over the Center, but he could really blossom playing End. Long arms, strong. I could see him pushing into the rotation this year.

Royal I heard they have to wait till he is healthy to cut him, not 100% sure though.
