      Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there is no UDFA until the labor issue gets settled.

            In fact, I don't even think they can talk to them and convey a possible interest until this thing gets settled.

                    I wish it would end already but it doesn't seem to be about to end anytime soon. I think that will change the dynamics of signing the free agents a lot. A lot of great players were not drafted. Our own James Harrison is a prime example. So, this is a key part of the draft and it will be interesting to see how this plays out. It seems that the season will be disrupted if an agreement is not made within a few weeks.

                        Whoever the UFL hasn't snatched up already. I'm sure those teams are on the phone with the top undrafted prospects as we speak, offering up contracts that the NFL is unable to negotiate due to labor unrest.
                        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                            Ian Williams - NT, Notre Dame

                            He tore his MCL, but recovered to work out at the combine and also at Notre Dames Pro Day...

                            He was projected as a 3rd to 5th round pick in every draft publication that I read...he looks like he could be a good 2 down NT and would be well worth a UDFA contract...at best, he could be a lot like Hoke: a quality back-up who can start in a pinch...
                            Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                              Re: UDFA

                              I feel sorry for these guys who were not drafted. Alot of them are barely, if at all getting by. And usually when the draft is over, the teams who want them usually sign them right away. Meanning they have a nice chunk of cash to get a nice apartment in the city of the team that signs them, and have full use of the teams facility to work out and talk with coaches. That's very Important to ANY rookie, even drafted ones as well. But unlike the drafted rookies, who can probably get a standard loan from any bank based on the fact that they were drafted players, and will have future guaranteed money as colateral,,,undrafted rookies probably can't get such a loan So I expect alot of these kids to either sign with their local teams from the city they come from, or as close as they come from. And the rest will have to get jobs, thereby not having the prep time to stay in good shape, or start learning a teams playbook.


                              But with that said, I would say I would like it if undrafted T David Mims is brought in.
                              Maybe even Ex-Gilbert and Pouncey teammate Carl Johnson. WR's, well yeah, we didn't draft any. But I was obviously high on Terrance Toliver and Darvin Adams. Ricardo Lockette would be nice. We drafted Batch, but Derrick Locke might be nice to sign. And Kendric Burney of UNC would be good. And I think we can ALL agree that Marshall LB Mario Harvey will be a LOCK..once the lockout is over Those guys would be A-OK with me.
