2014 Draft and the Bears

So who do you think will get a F.A. contract? I think Bumpas and Lobato will both be in N.F.L camps in August, but I don't think either will get drafted. I think Jace Davis will have an outside chance. I also think Lobato would have been drafted with an above average year, but his numbers were poor. However, he has his size and arm strength going for him. Bumpas is well...Bumpas. He'll be in the league for a few years. :twocents: :twocents:

I don't see anybody getting drafted. Players with a shot to get into an NFL camp would be Bumpas, Lobato, Davis, maybe Jefferson Jr. and believe it or not I have heard that a few teams have shown interest in Wilbers.

Bumpas might play a special teams role for a few years, but I can't see anybody else getting out of camp. Lobato is at best the 4th QB teams keep around for an extra arm during camp. Maybe just maybe he might end up as a practice squad player for a couple of years.
 
Let's be honest here, the Big Sky puts maybe a couple guys in the NFL a year as a conference and maybe 4 or 5 get camp invites a year out of the entire conference.

This team went winless... I just dont' see it...

1 player drafted (SUU QB Sorensen)
14 Undrafted free agent signees

2012
3 players drafted
12 players signed free agent contracts

Not many draft choices but pretty respectable free agent signings considering its an FCS conference.
 
Here is an article in the Tribune about Lobato, Bumpas and Davis expectations going into the draft. All expecting the phone to ring after the draft for undrafted free agent opportunities.
