Also considering the fact that we ended up with two lineman afterwards that I was interested in I have no problem with this pick. In fact I like it.
The thing I didn't like about it though was the fact that they drafted a similar player last year in Eddie Williams (TE/FB Idaho) in that they found a small school TE that they intended to convert to Fullback, but the main difference between the two is that Morris is much more physical.
On a side note I'm starting to think that this year the team won't have any 2010 UDFA's on the final roster.

Well I watched the Highlight vid of Morris he looks like a beast in the run game and he has great hands. Eddie Williams was injuired when we drafted him so that hurt his chances of making the team. If we can use him as a FB or H-back I think we may have found a diamond in the ruff.
