I have seen Terrell Resonno DT Mizz and Darrion Weems OL Oregon also listed in some blogs. I think I've seen more names than we have open roster spots in some of these places.
I have 16 listed (including the two you mention). The one I'm not confident on is A.J. Love
Apparently Love was a no-go, despite early reports.
Pelissero has confirmed the rest.
I'd like to see Tyler Nielson stick. I watch the Hawkeyes and Tyler seems to be all over the field making plays.
Paredes from Hawaii will not make it in the NFL. UH nose tackle Vaughn Meatoga needs to put on some weight to play at the next level. I was happy to see UH LB Aaron Brown get drafted. Good tackler and makes quick accurate reeds, we'll see if he has what it takes to stick around in the NFL.
They drafted a kicker!!??!!? I can only imagine that SpielMillen did this to win a bet
Why don't you think Paredes will make it? I watched him play in high school and college, he has a phenomenal football IQ, great hands, and put up impressive pro day numbers. Relentless heart and determination as well.
Powell, Baker, and Nielson would be my picks for guys who have a shot at making the roster.
Boy, Adam, you were right. The Vikes were virtually one-and-done with Kalil. No more OL picks and one UDFA. UFFDA!
I like what you guys are up too. This type of clever work and exposure!
Keep up the wonderful works guys I've included you guys to my blogroll.
