Pretty good pick up, I hope he makes the team.

I'm high on Compton. The Redskins have been high on Nebraska players for these past couple of years. I didn't read anything about him prior to the draft but saw him play as a Jr. in games against Baylor and Texas Tech. How he went undrafted I have no idea.

^ Compton played at South Dakota.

Sounds like a kid that deserves a shot, and if he keeps his head on will make it.

Think he was talking about Will Compton

Having seen quite a bit of Nick Williams I'm rooting for him but think his talent level falls just a bit short. Jason Thompson is a deep threat with size but I don't think we need him

I'm intrigued by Chip Reeves

Out of all the guy's bio, his stood out the most.

Chip Reeves | Troy, WR : 2013 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

From Russ Lande back in December:

4. Chip Reeves, WR, Troy University, Senior (5100 E, 176 E and 4.40 E): If fans are looking for a lesser known receiver who could make a name for himself this spring by running and working out extremely well this spring, then they need to remember the name Chip Reeves. While numerous scouts have told me that Reeves hands are not natural and will need work to make it in the NFL, there is little doubt that receivers with elite speed get drafted higher than their skill level often indicates they should. Lacking great size, Reeves showed the dynamic, explosive play-making ability to make big plays running after the catch at Troy. Quick getting started up the field Reeves has the speed to out-run angles and the elusiveness to make tacklers miss. He lacks the size and strength to consistently break tackles and will need to add some bulk to be a durable NFL player.

How does josh jarboe project? He has some talent, but is the head case that he is worth dealing with?

[skinsfaninok]

I wouldn't put too much stock into any of these guys, most will probably end up being cut, and the others will just be bodies

Jarboe's a guy I've known since HS and he has wasted his talent as much as anyone the past few years. Could be great, but he never gets it

Gotta root for a guy named Chip.

Hey MattyK, I was referring to Will Compton the MLB that played at Nebraska that went undrafted. Not our reserve OT. Anyways, I hope Compton makes the team and finds playing time. He could be the ILB to replace London. I'm not putting too much emphasis on Keenan Robinson at this point although he could prove me wrong.

My boy Lance Lewis from ECU was a rookie UDFA last year and hurt is groin in rookie mini camp and never came back, he was invited back this year and is healthy. I said it last year and I will say it again this year, he is my favorite as a surprise to make the team barring injury, he can play. Look him up.

Unless he's a Eagles coach.

What's Malcolm Kelly up to?

[SBXVII]

I tried to find something on WR Chip Reeves, I had to go highlights of all the WR's but if you go to 1:48 they show several catches of his. and although he looks short he also looks fast and can catch.
