Fair, but he still produced in college and played multiple positions.
There's gotta be something about him the Bengals liked to sign him.
But to be honest, the main reason I picked him is because TE is such a crappy crop currently lol.

If I'm being fully transparent, I want the Bengals to pick up some TE who gets released near cut day or make a trade for a 6th or 7th round pick to get someone who can upgrade TE1/TE2.

I wonder what the Chiefs would want for Noah Gray. He had an really nice season last year and he was stuck behind Kelce and Bell.

Would love both interior men to pan out

Yes sir, love BJ Hill but he is more of a hybrid between a nose and a 3-tech than a pure 3-tech.

Yes, want us to pick up a TE after cuts, should be some upgrades available for sure over what we currently have.

Doubt they would want to trade with us as they are pretty much one of our main rivals now.

If they were willing, I would be wondering if they know something we don't about Gray lol

I’m going to answer as if I’m picking a sort of longshot to make the active roster but may have a great camp and make it….

Gotta go with Iosivas. I assume most ppl will pick DJ Ivey

[sandwedge]

My guy Maxwell!

Those were both picks though, OP asked about UDFA's...

I really like Shedrick Jackson but with us adding Charlie Jones and Iosivas and Trenton Irwin playing pretty good last year and 
Stanley Morgan being a stud special teamer and blocker I don't know how he makes the team even with his speed. I expect 
Charlie Jones to be our Punt Returner this year and Iosivas to be used down field on some plays deep with his size and speed.

WR really went from being not that good behind our top 3 to really deep with the additions of Chuck Sizzle and Yoshi.

Don't see the Chiefs trying to help the Bengals out

I didnt go that far back just read the title lol


if it has to be a UDFA then its HE WHO WALKS AMONG THE ROWS

WR Malachi Carter

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Well, since the OP said UDFAs only, I cannot pick Ivey.

I think Kirkland and Maxwell are the most obvious choices, and who I would pick in a vaccuum. Kirkland needs to beat out Ford, Adeniji, and Smith. Maxwell wouod have to unseat Tupou. But since everyone picked them already, I will go in another direction.

I will go with Moody. Bachie is the #5 LB. We've kept 6 recently. I think Moody snagging #5 (or #6) is an easier path because Bachie is less established with the team (or in the league) than Tupou, Adeniji, and Ford.

Almost picked Jackson. I think he could take Morgan's job and be a special teams ace with more receiving upside. As Jones & Iosivas likely make the team, he'd have to beat out Morgan & Irwin & Taylor for the last spot. Tough. I think he sticks on the PS, however.

Tupou isn't a pass rusher and is on the last year of his deal and Adeniji and Ford have sucked in the NFL...

Bachie actually came in when Logan went down and played damn good for us. I think an UDFA has a lot better chance at knocking 
Adeniji or Ford off the roster then Bachie IMO.

We also need a pass rushing DT on this team badly, Maxwell could be it. I like Tufele better than Tupou as well.

Good points. FWIW, I agree that Tupou is more of a nose and not a DT. I should have said Maxwell needs to beat out Tufele, who is more of a hybrid. Really, given our schematic choices, we need 3 NT capable guys and will likely carry only 2 narural DTs because we have outside guys who can kick inside (Hubbard,,Sample, Murphy).

Truth, completely agree, great post. Also see this is how it will shake out.
