I didn't think that they would dump Coley, I really liked him last year.

Kubiak asked Smith to find him a QB in the seventh, and I think Brink's release shows how hard it is to get anything in the seventh round when you are not going BPA.

slightly surprised, but only slightly, at that one too. I think he was on of those guys who you want to root for. Undrafted, but looks like he has a chance to stick in the league guys always make for a good story. Our LB situation is pretty crowded though. Cushing, Ryans, Adibi, Diles, Bentley, June, Shaun Thompson, Buster Davis. I thought they might at least bring him into camp in case someone went down...they have probably seen enough of him to know what they got though and will likely check out some other young LB in camp.

I swore I was not going to rant about the wasted pick Brink was. They could of had the local hero. (Anthony Alridge )

But they have now passed on him twice, to my surprise. What the heck do I know.

Heck Peyton Hillis FB/RB, Paul Smith (Tulsa)QB, Wesley Woodyard (Kentucky)LB would all have been better pick ups.

Here we are complaining about a wasted 7th rnd. pick when a few years ago Cassery was saying 3rd, rnd. picks were basically throwaways. My how far we have come..

Danged right, we don't have Casserly to blame anymore for the Charlie Hills, Antwan Peek, Seth Wand, Dave Ragone and Tony Hollins picks. His strategy really hurt this team for years. And yes it still ticks me off.

Yeah, your probably right, and the upshot is that he still has practice squad eligibility and none of the others do, so even if they cut him now they can bring him back later.

Along that line Kubiak come's across as the kind of coach that likes to give players every chance to make a roster somewhere. I can see him letting a guy go here that has little shot at our roster, so they can try to get into some other teams camp where they might get a lucky break.

I have not seen them bring many of those guys back after the fact, but I am hoping they do on a few guys.
