[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 878597, member: 6578"] This concept was breached in another thread and I love discussions and projections like this. Every single year roster cuts hold a few surprises....and a few UDFAs slip in and claim a spot. So pick 3 UDFAs that you feel have the best shot or would be your locks if someone told you 3 were going to make it. IF you need a refresher of UDFAs that we signed you can find them here: [URL]https://www.packerforum.com/threads/udfa-signings.83523/[/URL] My three are as follows, and I chose to put them in the order I feel their chances and likelihood is highest to lowest AS THE CURRENT ROSTER IS SET (this is crucial to my predictions for one specific player): [B][U]Stanford Samuels (FSU) - Cornerback[/U][/B] By now we all know the claims of his time at combine not being accurate according to him...either way, watch his tape. Is he a BLAZER speed wise no, but he does play much faster than the time would indicate. - Newsbreak article I kinda agree with Deion Sanders when he said he thinks Safety is a real valid direction he could see Samuels excel at.

I give him the best odds for sure of garnering a roster spot and even furthering us from a King re-signing. [B][U]Delontae Scott (SMU) - Edge/OLB[/U][/B] Gonna be honest, I truly like the value at how we had all three OLB/EDGE guys arrive in Green Bay between Scott and Galeai both as UDFAs and also the 7th round flyer on Garvin. Scott however, I'll pick as the guy that wins a serious battle to be that #4 guy on the roster as Gary was last year behind Fackrell. At 6-5 and 247lbs he has some serious speed around the edge and I think out of the three has the best chance at setting the edge, something Pettine is looking for and is one thing Gary excelled at as a rookie in his limited snaps.
