Ok. Let’s see who our last man on board will be.
Who called Trikweze Bridges? Minter can make CBs look pretty good. He’s big and rangy, tackles ok. Solid depth signing.
In all, my biggest disappointment is the gap at IOL. Can’t pick all the players in one draft, though. I’m pretty content. Interior D got better. Secondary got some depth. Offense got a ton better, especially when you consider FA.
Time to Bolt Up!
I'm dense, Al. And maybe this has been discussed already, but how does a player win the Nagurski trophy and be available in the 4th round?
@feeblepubliccableaccessshow It's not a bad question! I'm going to watch Kennard's tape this week and try find out why before your show next weekend 
In 2023, Payton Wilson:
- Won the Chuck Bednarik award (best defensive player according to Maxwell Club)
- Won the Butkus award (best linebacker)
- Was 1 of 5 finalists for the Bronco Nagurski award (best defensive player according to FWAA)
- Was ACC DPOY
- Was a unanimous 1st team All American
He was drafted at #98 as the 7th LB drafted (behind Colson for one). College football and NFL football are not exactly the same game, and NFL talent evaluators at least believe they understand the differences and grade accordingly.
I would absolutely have loved it if the Chargers had drafted Wilson instead of Colson, but I understand that decision.
So the UDFAs are coming in. Per Jordan Schultz, I have:
RB Raheem Sanders South Carolina
QB DJ Uiagalelei FSU (St. John Bosco legend).
Please add any others you know.
@unclejammsarmy Welcome home, DJ. He’s already got his parents’ pad waiting for him. Probably PS for a year before pushing Lance or Heinicke in 2026.
Per Tom Pelissero, we also signed
CB Nikko Reed Oregon
WR Luke Grimm Kansas
LB Marlowe Wax Syracuse
Popper just listed all the UDFAs
@unclejammsarmy Lots of CBs on the list. No RBs which means JK might get another chance.
Best name: Stevo Klotz
@unclejammsarmy Whoops. Missed him. That means Harris, Hampton, Vidal, Haskins, Patterson, and Sanders in the mix.
Really happy with the additions to DL, Caldwell and Kennard. Kyle has got a motor, man! Will be great in the Nascar package.
WR additions are also praiseworthy. Speed kills and they both show it on tape. Harris's combine time was lower than his actual speed because it was soon after his groin surgery. He will be a good successor to Mike Williams. Lambert-Smith really has the speed and good moves also. We'll have a very competitive WR room, needed because there are always injuries. I still hope we can add Keenan to the mix.
