Anybody know what kind of time frame until we start to know the undrafted free agents signed? I'm so pumped after this draft!
 
I know can't wait to see who the are !
 
We definitely need to bring in a couple of RBs. I really like Tyler Varga from Yale.

BJ Finney looks like a find, 3rd ranked C in the draft slated to go rnd 3-4. Team captain three years, looks like a real solid kid.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1763082/bj-finney


B.J. Finney, C, Kansas State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 318.
Projected 40 Time: 5.32.
Projected Round (2015): 3-5.
4/27/15: Finney was solid for Kanas State in 2014. He is a smart technician who could use more functional strength for the NFL. Finney had an impressive week at the East-Shrine to solidify his status as a third-day pick.

8/27/14: Finney is a former walk-on who is now a First-Team All-Big XII selection in back-to-back years. The junior continued his strong play in 2013 and has continued to improve his overall game. He had a superb 2012 season blocking for quarterback Collin Klein. Finney was solid in pass protection and did a good job as a run-blocker. In 2011, he was a Freshman All-American after starting 12 games at center and one at right guard.

Finney could use another 10 pounds of strength for the next level, but he has time to accomplish that. Finney could be a nice fit for a zone-blocking system.

Personal: Pre-med major. Son of Christy Finney and the late J Finney.

There was a report that we promised Finney a chance to start to get him to sign. I'm assuming at guard

B.J. Finney says the Steelers promised him a shot to start at guard. Pittsburgh is his favorite team. Fighting back tears as he explains.

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing. Based on first glance, I think Finney's the only one with a legit shot to make the roster.
 
After watching the video and reading the article about Finney, really rooting for him to make the squad. Our guard depth is weak.

Among the 12 free agent additions is former Boston College quarterback Tyler Murphy, who is listed as a wide receiver and ostensibly will be changing positions. Murphy (6-2, 213) passed for 1,623 yards for the Eagles in 2014, but he added 1,184 yards rushing, and his mobility will be his ticket if he’s able to successfully transition to receiver with Pittsburgh. Murphy began his collegiate career with Florida before joining Boston College for one year.
 
i'm guessing they will try to switch Clear to OT as a project.

Love that they got Diffenbach. If not for injury, he would have been a solid mid round prospect.
Dismukes is a solid prospect as well. I've seen him rated as high as a 4th round prospect.

Tyler Murphy is very interesting. Rumor is that the NFL is going to move the XP up to the 1 yard line to encourage teams to go for it. That's why some teams may have brought in running QBs, because option from the 1 is deadly and you don;t want your starter taking that hit. It's why many think the Eagles signed Tebow and may be why the Pack drafted Brett Hundley.
 
Cam Thomas can definitely be cut now, we drafted his replacement. We should have a decent amount of cap space for June 1st cuts. Plenty to sign the draft class and some FAs.
