Oh well, a slow white RB is not a priority for me anyways.

Why's he gotta be white? better duck.

What does his melanin content have to do with anything?

That got unexpectedly scientific

I'm liking the 3 WRs we signed so far, and the safety Ray Vinopal from Pitt.... good stuff so far.

It's like Christmas. And then Christmas all over again!

seriously,i would have drafted Goodley over Swain.I just dont see the point of drafting a guy who has no shot at making the team.

I wouldn't necessarily say that since we did trade away a 6th rounder next year to draft Swain. Must be a good blocker.

Still not seeing that Crocket signed anywhere.

Back between the non racial lines.

Is Michigan St. FS K. Drummond still available?

 

[Zekeats]

I would give him a big salary, not a big bonus...

I would give him both with an obvious attachment to any guarantees

Texas RB Malcom Browns signed with the Rams.. Bummer.

 

[jjktkk]

he never had a decent OL.

To add to your post, Brown had to split carries with an another big time recruit in Jonathan Gray.

looks like we signed Lucky whitehead.

LOL.. I thought you were joking until I saw his name on BTB.

 

[reddyuta]

Rawls signing with Seattle.

Yep. Another wasted talent lost in Austin!

And giving up a 6th to boot

Glad they signed Showers. He may be a camp body, but I think he's a guy that could maybe do enough to land on the PS to see if he can be developed. There's not a lot out there on Showers. He was a backup to Tannehill and Manziel at Texas A&M. Graduated in 3yrs and transfered to UTEP.

At UTEP, played well in a run-oriented offense. He's mature and a strong leader. (What I saw) he's not a running QB but is mobile and athletic enough to get out of some jams. has a good arm. he reads defenses OK. sometimes slow going through his progression (but more likely b/c of UTEP's poor receivers than on Showers). Not the prettiest passes sometimes, but they get there (p.manning-like ducks sometimes)

1st video, you see him under center, drop back, play action, make his reads, hit a longish pass.


2nd video, the elusiveness with a Romo-esque spin, looks downfield, looks to throw. doesn't set his feet but gets off a very strong throw.



Yes, I am a total UTEP alum and proud homer

Uggggggghhhhhh

Texas RB Malclom Browns signed with the Rams.. Bummer.

Well, FWIW NFL.com has Rawls ranked a bit higher than Brown...

I know, means nothing. But still. It's something. lol.

If this is true, he needs to be THE priority

Probably shouldn't have announced that he wouldn't sign if not drafted in first 3 rounds then.
