Hatton, Westover and Greenfield seem like they have the best chance to stick, either on the roster or on the PS. Practice squad is a win for UDFA's. Making the actual roster is huge accomplishment, but very difficult. Good luck to all of them.

My wife and I agree that we would rather be the last guy that makes it through a yellow light than the first guy at the red light. Yeah, I'd rather be Dee Williams than the forth best running back or fifth WR. A guy with a job is better off than a better athlete that doesn't have a job.

I am glad to read you understand the Velocity of Money. $1 spent 100 times in your community generates much more than the value of $1, especially to tax collectors. It's a very Austrian Economics concept. Simple, but true.

I like Westover and have my fingers crossed he can make the roster. A few years experience he could develop into a useful utility player across the offence and ST. Tricky year for the offensice UDFA's to break through as the unit has a lot of strength and depth as it is, but someone always surprises! Based on the above Greenfield could be a real surprise, even if he doesn't make the roster, as a training squad player with eyes on next year.

FWIW, I saw a recent podcast (I think it was Locked On Seahawks) where the hosts independently selected the last 5 on the roster and last 5 off. One of them had Greenfield making it and the other had him barely missing, but acknowledged he could really see it happening.

Since you're on vacation, I'll add this for you:

-UPDATE- QB P.J. Walker signs with the Seahawks, most likely as a camp arm, but possibly could stick on the practice squad. He is not to be confused with P.J. Washington who is playing for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals currently. Although his 3 point shooting percentage couldn't be any worse than Washington's is to this point, so maybe Seattle will flip him to the Mavs for cash and future considerations. Walker was a desperation spot fill-in for a couple of games for Cleveland last year. He has been a career backup and bounced around and into and out-of the league for the past 5-6yrs. QBR rating of 60 for his NFL career with 46% completion, although he was the XFL's leading passer before going to Cleveland.
