The Phinsider
Following the NFL draft, teams had their usual flurry of signings of the undrafted free agents that were left. Our Miami Dolphins were, as usual, fairly active in the UDFA market. In last week's post, HERE, I highlighted the different signings for Miami.
I then asked the following question:
Which of the undrafted free agents are your favorite, and which of the list do you see having a real possibility to make this year’s Dolphins roster, and why?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers to the PQOTD-
SuperG! believes that Hibbett is Ferguson’s replacement. Considering whatever was truly happening with Blake last season, since it seems like some super secret secret, this seems quite likely.
I just looked at Blake Ferguson’s contract and there’s no dead money in his contract if they cut him. There was something weird going on last year at the LS position and Blake Ferguson was on the NFI list for a good stretch of the year. I’m thinking they brought in the UDFA LS Kneeland Hibbett as his replacement.
MIAMI235 is understandably excited about the possibility of more offensive line help.
Encouraged by the idea of more OLine prospects that may contribute to the Team!
Dolphster likes the Auburn linebacker and the corner from UCF, who could have possibly gone mid-round to late in the draft.
The two I’m interested in are Asante and Adams. I think that Asante can make the team for his special teams play, but he has potential to be a WILL Linebacker in a couple years. I had him projected in the 5th round. For Adams, I had him projected in the 5th round also, but I think he went undrafted because of not playing since October and because he ran a 4.53, but I think he is a little faster than that. If he can put a little more weight on his 6’2” frame, I could see him handling bigger receivers after some deveopment. I think Hibbett will be the long snapper by game 1 of the regular season.
tpl is on the please get rid of Eichenberg already bandwagon. Sadly, since all of his money is guaranteed, he might remain a lock to make the roster. Let's hope the team is willing to eat the money. Then we can just continue to wonder why they gave the dude a fully guaranteed deal in the first place, or even a deal at all.
I am hoping one of the 3 offensive lineman beats out Eichenberg as a backup offensive lineman.
StanleyDoyle1 is excited about the offensive lineman from Western Michigan.
West is the guy to get most excited about. His versatility should allow him to make the roster, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him starting at center by season’s end.
Bill Moody likes four guys based on their solid bios.
Based off the bio’s above, these are the 4 stand-outs to me. But of course, they need to...
