Has pace signed any UDFA's or going after anymore FA's

[HAVOCONE]

i think ive seen maybe 1 or 2 signings, but isn't pace usually vigilante, after the draft? seen tre boston was cut, and wondering about J. Howard. we need some D-line depth. looks as if we signed some O-linemen, but we need a few D-linemen to.

Pace has already signed a couple solid undrafted free agents.

Couple I like the most are...

Jhajuan Seales WR
Dieugot Joseph OT
TAnner Gentry WR
Freddie Stevenson FB
Joel Bouagnon RB
Jamari Staples WR

Apparently Kermit Whitfield has got some wheels, runs low-10s hundred meter, and he's fast enough that Dalvin Cook thought he'd break Chris Johnson's 40 time (he didn't obviously). He's been the fastest guy on FSU's squad since he joined. Also apparently he wasn't originally invited to the combine, but that obviously changed. In any case, I love speed, so I'm hoping he can play.

Pace has brought back Taylor Boggs and signed Bradley Sowell OT as well.

Interesting 8 of 9 (not counting kicker) are offensive players. With 4 of 5 draftees being offensive, makes you wonder what's the thinking process.

All things considered, the offense was much worse than the defense last year, and they just traded up and picked a QB with the 2nd pick. 6 of 9 picked last year were D.

Wow, thanks for the info. nice to see some of the smaller school guys. those are the ones will bring a lunchbox to work. guys who probably never expected to make a pro team. good for them. hope a few make the cut.

What I find funny is that most people immediately laugh off any UDFA signings, but there are usually several UDFAs that make the pro bowl every year.

We have already had some success with Meredith. Who knows if one or more of these players shine and actually start?

Nah, would never laugh at progress. as you mentioned, some people laugh them off, or never givem a second chance. a good example of 1 of those players, was during the draft. Drew Pearson was an UDFA, and now is in the hall of fame. many others as well. i just believe the guys from smaller schools, will work harder to earn a spot on a roster. they don't feel entitled, like kids from larger schools.
