Great to see Hutton get to play in the CFL!

Hutton is going to shred in that wide open CFL.

Chatted with him yesterday. Nice young man. He will do well.

Culture! I'm sure it helps....NFL wants mature, prepared guys.
Best of luck to Lan!

First day of the draft! Predictions if lan or any aggies get drafted (in general not just today)?

Teddye has a good shot of getting drafted on day 2 or 3

How long has it been since a Hornet and an Aggie were picked in same draft? If you count Skatt and Teddye (I would), there might be 2 Hornets and 2 Aggies taken in this one...

legit chance teddye is picked before sanders

Teddye just got drafted by the Ravens at pick 129! Congrats Teddye!

Great fit, and a great opportunity. Crab cakes for days!

Buchanan excelled as a ball-pursuing linebacker last season with a career-high 114 tackles and was also a strong blitzer with five sacks. He led Cal-Davis in tackles for two straight seasons before transferring to Cal for his fifth college season. He was mostly a quarterback growing up and in high school.

"I worked extremely hard, four years at Davis, and I feel all that work came to point where I was able to show what I was able to do on a national stage," Buchanan said. "I'm just super grateful to get the opportunity.

"I'm going to give everything I've got to this organization. I think about Raven linebackers, obviously Ray Lewis kind of epitomizes what a middle linebacker was for me growing up. I'm super-excited to learn from guys like Roquan (Smith) and just pick their brain."

The Ravens lost inside linebackers Malik Harrison and Chris Board during free agency and entered the draft looking for depth at the position. Third-year linebacker Trenton Simpson is returning, but his playing time decreased late in the 2024 season after beginning Week 1 as the starter opposite Roquan Smith. Buchanan can compete for snaps while also contributing on special teams.

"For me, special teams is going to be a priority," Buchanan said. "I'm super-excited to play special teams. I played special teams in college."

Raiders just drafted MSU "WR" Tommy Mellott and NDSU QB Cam Miller. Chip Kelly, former UNH OC, now Raiders OC likely was allowed to pick them both...create play packages.

Sac OG Jackson Slater went to Tennessee by the way, Rd. 5 Pick 31.

Giants took Cam Skattebo early in the 4th round.

So that's 4 guys so far who've been drafted who played heavily in the Big Sky.

Lan goes undrafted... unfortunate, but he'll 100% be a UDFA somewhere.

We struggle to get Aggies drafted…

The 49ers should try to sign Lan.

Former Montana WR Junior Bergen was drafted by San Francisco.
Former Montana DE Hayden Harris appears to have agreed to UDFA contract with Buffalo Bills

Patriots signing undrafted UC Davis RB Lan Larison for $175k guaranteed -- $25k signing bonus and $150k in guaranteed salary

NFL minimum salary is 840K: this is possibly his taxi squad salary?

Not big enough for an NFL FB, and they don't see breakout speed / burst? Hopefully he can deliver at camp.

TB a 4th round pick. Go Ags.

It looks like EWU standout WR Efton Chism III is ALSO signing an UDFA contract with New England.

Min. salary is for roster players, which of course is still a possibility.

Did a quick swing through various Pats forums/groups--fans seem very impressed/happy with the signing. Most seem to think he'll make the final roster. Lots of comparisons to Julian Edelman and Danny Woodhead.

Zach Kennedy 6'6-280 UC Davis has been invited to the Denver Broncos RMC May 8th
