McCaffrey might as well be an orange, there to be squeezed for every yard he can produce. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > 7 more picks to go but it looks like no Diego Pavia. That doesn’t surprise me. I would stay as far away from that hot mess as possible. Pavia was signed today by the Ravens, as was Connecticut QB Joe Fagnano, prior to the start of the team’s rookie minicamp this Friday. They’ll apparently both be competing for the Ravens’ #3 QB spot, behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. > **[Ravens sign undrafted QBs Diego Pavia, Joe Fagnano before minicamp](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48619793/ravens-sign-undrafted-qbs-diego-pavia-joe-fagnano-minicamp)** > > The Ravens signed undrafted quarterbacks Diego Pavia and Joe Fagnano ahead of the team's scheduled rookie minicamp this weekend. ---

Yeah, I would have been shocked if no teams had signed him as a UDFA, short and questionable social media posts or not. Especially a team like Baltimore that has a history of overlooking much worse player behavior. ---

Cue NFL fans awkwardly trying to figure out how to pronounce “Fagnano”. (It’s pronounced like “fan-YAH-no”, stressing the second syllable.) ---

Exactly! Actually, “Joey Lasagna” would be a great nickname for the NFL. Who doesn’t like lasagna? (Though I can see Bengals fans claim that their defense will eat him up like Garfield.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2026-nfl-draft/1029464.md?page=7)
