Now, which UDFA's do we get? Hopefully a couple more OL and maybe another WR.

Tell you what I don't like about this draft in particular -> because of the order of draft, all our NFCS rivals did better.

Wait until the end of the season, then we will know who did better.

Btw, got this off another site concerning drafting on need for an OT:

Gettleman said that was a result of confidence in players currently on the roster and the tackle talent that was available.

"It's really a combination of both," Gettleman said. "Once you got past that top tier of tackles, there was a huge drop-off. For us, we just felt that the guys we have on our roster that are going to compete for those spots are just as good if not better than what we were staring at. The value wasn't there."
I understand this logic.

I did a little digging (if you can call a Google search digging) and Foucault intrigues me. He was the #2 rated OL out of Canada this year. 6'1", 320 and primarily plays T. Check out his numbers from the Canadian Combine David Foucault, Offensive Lineman | CFL.ca | Official Site of the Canadian Football League maybe a steal for us.

So do I but if he's just as good we got one hell of a good WR.

I'm with you. It's very hard to compare a rookie to a savy veteran anytime. But if anyone has "potential" it's this guy.

Benjamin has lots of upside. some of the things that scared me off of him was he did not have a lot of burst out of his cuts, and he seemed to play tight. I thought Mathews Moncrief, Latimore, Lee where all better prospect at this point. Bengamin has potential to be better than them in time if he develops. but make no mistake, Bengamin is a very raw prospect.
