Washington needs work on his route running. He has a lot of speed. Also needs to keep gaining muscle mass.

We used more 11, but when referring to the team as a 2 TE team, that saying that we are a 12 team as opposed to a 21 team. Clutts didn't get a lot of snaps, not sure there is any reason to suggest that Copeland has a great chance at making the team because of Clutts' presence.

I'd be with you 100% if Dallas made a valiant effort to acquire a blocking right end, but they didn't. In short yardage and goalline situations, I'd rather have a bruising fullback on the field instead of a 3rd WR or a finesse player like Hanna or Parnell. I hope we get a lot more physical at the point of attack.

Parnell is the least finesse player on the team.

Chris Boyd WR Vanderbilt --- 6' 3", 205 lbs. Was dismissed from team for involvement in a cover-up of a rape case (he was not involved in the original crime). All the details are here. Boyd was rising star at Vanderbilt before the legal issues. Some thought he was better than Jordan Matthews. Was predicted to go in the mid-to-late round of the draft.

He looks good in game footage.

Coleman has some quicks. Really rooting for him. Boyd has great hands but doesn't seem to get much separation.

Body is the KeShawn type that does not look open but is highly likely to come up with the ball.

How many 6-3 or taller receivers will we have?! Good luck on teams defending all that size.

I remember being really excited about Ron Leary, and there are some more UDFAs that have me excited this year.

L'Damian Washington, WR, Missouri, the speed and size of this guy is really interesting. It'll be awesome to see if he can put those together and give us some more size depth on the outsides. Not sure if we can carry 6 wide receivers on the roster, so he'll really have to battle out and try to beat Devin Street for the roster spot. It should be noted that all the receivers we went after are outside guys. We don't need any more slot receivers, we need that depth on the outside. Same reason why we signed Chris Boyd.

J.C. Copeland, FB, LSU, I've always liked the idea of having a big bruiser fullback, but with that being said, this guy is a long shot to make the team. We're still a 2 tight end team, and we're still likely to go heavy on tight ends, with at least 4 tight ends on the roster. This guy is going to have to distinguish himself early, and make himself indispensable. Would love to see our ground game with him and this beefed up offensive line.

Ben Malena, RB, T A&M, I had a lot of faith in Dunbar last year, but if Dunbar can't return from his injuries and contribute this year, we should keep our eye out for Malena. His test will mainly be to beat out Joseph Randle, which shouldn't be difficult. I like the type of runner this guy is. I think he could be a nice option to spell Murray. Something we weren't able to do at all last year. He'll also have to make himself more valuable than Glasco Martin, who probably offers a different dimension in his game than Murray or Dunbar have.

Did I hear earlier that Copeland was a candidate for the 3Tech. like Melton?

I like Ben Malena.

Anyone know if this kid is faster than Randle? Randle was a wasted pick and if Lance can shake that injury, Randle should be gone.
