New Fullback

I know FB isn't the most pressing of issues at Valley Ranch, but if the Boys decide to cut Vickers for a cap space, is it possible that Jerry drafts a FB in the 6/7 round? or looks to undrafted rookies? I really liked Zordich and Boren out of Penn State and tOSU. Both are team leaders who can also contribute right away to special teams as well. Other FB I liked are Zach Line out of SMU and Braden Wilson from KSU. Thoughts?

I would probably go for signing Chapas, if the Lions don't re-sign him.
- He got to play in a couple of games for them I think, so he now has a bit of experience and he's also familiar with the team.

With no 7th rounder and only one 6th, I would prefer not to look at a FB in the draft. If we do, I would take Boren I think, but not that sure on FB's.

But my number 1 choice is still keeping Vickers.

I still think McSurdy could fill the spot effectively for as much as we use it. Not like we're that successful with one anyways.

If we are going to spend a draft pick on a FB I'll take the kid from Harvard.

I'll take Vickers over anyone available. Nothing wrong with the guy Dallas just needs to use him.

YES to Zordich!!!
PSU bias aside, the guy is tough as freaking nails and I really like Boren too.
But anyone turning down Zordich in the 6th round is a nutjob. He is at he very least a special teams monster. We had "Zordich Watch" at Beaver Stadium every kickoff because literally he would lay someone out about 40% of the time and that is no exaggeration.

zach line is not a full back. he is a running back.

that being said a fullback with our offensive line is vital to running the ball with success. using a draft choice on one does not seem to be necessary. just keep vickers.

Zac Line will be a FB in the NFL...maybe a RB in 4th quarter to get tough yardage...just my opinion

Peace
