Let's keep an eye of roster cuts, some UDFA that Cowboys missed:

WR Justyn Ross, KR Calvin Turner, NT Luther Elliss, OT Dare Rosenthal, LB JoJo Domann, QB Cole Kelley, OL William Dunkle ...

... and THIS guy.

Could be a beast at center.

SCOUTING REPORT: SUMMARY
We regard Lindstrom as a good pro prospect - he has an overall excellent technique and is an elite pass protector and a good run blocker. He however is a little undersized and can be physically dominated by bigger defenders. He has a high floor and a moderate ceiling due to his average strength and high football IQ.

Linstrom is probably the fourth-best center in a weak draft class - for that reason we expect him to hear his name called in the fourth or fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

  • Markquese Bell, S - Florida A&M
  • Juanyeh Thomas, S - Georgia Tech
  • La'Kendrick Van Zandt, S - TCU
  • Isaac Taylor-Stuart, CB - USC
  • Big Kat Bryant, EDGE - UCF
  • Aaron Hansford, LB - Texas A&M
  • Mika Tafua, LB - Utah
  • Storey Jackson, LB - Liberty
  • Peyton Hendershot, TE - Indiana
  • Ty Fryfogle, WR - Indiana
  • Dennis Houston, WR - Western Illinois
  • JaQuarii Roberson, WR - Wake Forest
  • Aaron Shampklin, RB - Harvard
  • Malik Davis, RB - Florida
  • Amon Simon, OL - Texas A&M Commerce
  • Alec Lindstrom, OL - Boston College
  • James Empey, OL - BYU
  • Dontario Drummond, WR - Ole Miss
  • Jonathan Garibay, K - Texas Tech
All things considered, this is presumably a very strong UDFA class for the Cowboys.

They were not only able to woo away a talent like Hansford from an NFC East enemy, but in also looking at names such as Alec Lindstrom and James Empey, both of whom could see themselves challenging for playing time at center as early as 2022 (even if only as a backup), as well as another sought-after defensive talent in Markquese Bell, it really isn't difficult to see why this haul of undrafted free agents is arguably one of the best in the NFL.

The need at each position of need was again addressed following a draft that saw the Cowboys address many of them with their nine selections, while also taking care of ones that were not addressed in the three-day event in Las Vegas -- i.e., kicker, safety and running back. And while they've garnered a robust tally of 19 UDFAs, they could still add a couple more over the coming days, sources say, as they build and then refine their 90-man offseason roster.

Aside from usual suspects that we all know either nake team or will be in competition like Bell, Garibay, Thomas, Lindstrom, Empey, Drummond, ITS, Hansford, Tafua, etc. ...

I'm really excited about Storey Jackson. He is not as known commodity as Hansford nor is he technique sharp as an edge like Tafua and he doesn't have the freak measurables like Harper ... but

His play just jumps off the page. Jackson plays freakishly fast because he diagnoses plays in a instant and always plays at 1000 mph.

Violent hitter to go with his playmaking and high IQ.

I think we've been good for a long time with UDFAs. That's where Jerry's wallet can make a difference. Just more staff to look deeper down the talent pool.

POE = Beast at FB

Watch that guy pull and zero in on guys in open space. 6-1, 300lbs.

And it's not just crazy old me. Multiple articles about him potentially as a FB. Quote from him :
https://herosports.com/fcs-football-nfl-draft-jason-poe-bzbz/
“They’ve never seen anything like this,” Poe told HERO Sports. “Usually, you take a d-linemen or a linebacker and you put him in the backfield and he can play fullback. They’ve never seen an offensive lineman that’s athletic enough and knows how to do the job of a fullback. I’m a unique guy. A lot of teams like me at guard or center. But some teams like me at fullback.”​

The Pet Cat has arrived!

The only one I really know anything about is Malik Davis the RB out of Florida. Looked like a superstar in the making as a frosh but kinda got derailed by injuries the next coupla years. One of those guys who just has that innate ability to tote the rock.. Finds the crease.. always falls forward. VERY good receiver too. That might help him stick around..
Don't underestimate Jerry in this situation. I'm actually being serious and not sarcastic. Yes I bash Jerry a ton but I got nothing but love for his diamonds in the rough with UDFA. Romo, Austin come to mind. I'm pumped about the safety and I'm going to do some more research on the player you addressed. This UDFA part of the process is one of the very few things that Jerry does well as a GM.
