Steelers UDFA reviews...

We only signed 15 when we have room for 16.  I think thats us leaving a spot open intentionally for a vet signing at some point.  Im hoping its the OL from Bama that played for the Texans.  When looking deep into this players I noticed most were doubled up position wise.  

Here are the 3 lone players with no doubles.  

INGRAMBAXTERMCNEAL
LS/HAWAIILB/NO ILLINOISRB/USC
Ingram is the best LS in the draft and its about time we get youth at that spot.  He isnt heavy enough to spell any other positions though.  But hes a long snapper, does it matter?

Baxter is a total position flex freak.  Can and has played DE, OLB and ILB not to mention he brings orange wedges to practice.  LOL  Pay attention Carter.

McNeal is total 3rd down scat back and kick returner.  With the Stephens-Howling deal done Thursday night, ya think Batch has become expendable?  Yup.  Me too.

On to the doubles...


DUNNWOODSEMBERNATEGOLIC JRWADEMADSENFARRELLHUBBARD
WR/UTAHWR/WVUOL/SAN DIEGO STOL/NDOC/BAYLOROC/WVUOT/PSUOL/UAB



RASHAD-WHITEHUNTERARNFELTHAGANS
DT/MICHIGAN STDT/FLORIDADE/NRTHWESTRNDE/LA LAYFAYETTE



Dunn has rumored to run a 4.21 40.  Also a kick punt returner.  Very tiny guy.  Reminds me of... yup, McCluster.

Woods is a body.  Sorry, cant find any big deal about this kid.

Embernate and Golic jr are interior flex OL.  I thing Embernate could make the 53 while Golic jr on the Practice Squad.

Wade and Madsen are OCs that can and have played OG.  Theyre almost mirror images of one another, but Madsen has academic issues.  I give the nod to Wade.

Farrell and Hubbard are OTs that can play OG.  Fingers crossed that Farrell gets it done and is the 9th OL.  I see him as this years Foster.  Plus Hubbard is under 300 pounds.  I dunno why hes here.

Heres the fun ones- Rashad-White and Hunter are true 0/1 techs.  It looks like MT wants short and big as both are only 6'1 315+ with RW the exact same size as Brandon Williams (now a Raven) (Fangupo also 6'1 315+).  I honestly think White bumps Taamu and Hunter or Fangupo take PS.

Last but not least is Arnfelt and Hagans.  Originally I thought they would be de/olbs but further investigation shows them as true 5 tech 34 des.  Theyre built like young Brett Keisels.  Add to that the Samford kid from the 7th round (Mitchell says wont play at all, too raw, so prob PS bound) thats 3 true new 5 techs,  How ya feeling Hood?  Heyward, ye best step it up, cause you have real competition here.

Later.
