I went to redzone to print up a list for a friend here at work who is a Skins fan. There's no one listed for them as far as UDFA signings.

Surely that can't be right. Is it? Anyone have a better site to use?

Nice little haul there by the Skins. Liked that DE/LB 6-3 and 250.

They added 3 nice offensive line prospects in Kerry Brown, Shannon Boatman and Devin Clark... betwen those three and Chad Rinehart, they ought to be able to come up with one or two nice backups for this season... I also like the two defensive end/linebacker tweeners they signed, Curtis Gatewood and Bryan Wilson... I'm just not sure those two would not have been better suited going to a team that runs the 3-4 defense...

I don't figure any of the others have a realistic shot of making the team...

FWIW, here's the list of the Skins' undrafted free agent signings, rated in order of the draft grade given to them by Pro Football Weekly:

DE/OLB Curtis Gatewood, Vanderbilt... 6-2, 250 pounds... 4.75 sec. 40

OG/OT Kerry Brown, Appalachian State... 6-5, 300 pounds... 5.2 sec. 40

DE Wallace Gilberry, Alabama... 6-2, 270 pounds... 5.0 sec. 40

WR Ed Williams, Lane College... 6-3, 210 pounds... 4.5 sec. 40

DE Darian Smith, Oregon State... 6-1, 260 pounds... 4.95 sec. 40

OG Devin Clark, New Mexico... 6-3, 306 pounds... 5.35 sec. 40

OT Shannon Boatman, Florida State... 6-5, 320 pounds... 5.0 sec. 40

OLB/DE Bryan Wilson, Morgan State... 6-1, 250 pounds... 4.55 sec. 40

QB Bret Meyer, Iowa State... 6-3, 210 pounds... 4.65 sec. 40

CB Matterral Richardson, Arkansas... 5-11, 195 pounds... 4.6 sec. 40

C Kyle DeVan, Oregon State... 6-1, 295 pounds... 5.3 sec. 40

C/OT Darren Marquez, Southern Illinois... 6-3, 280 pounds... 5.05 sec. 40...

WR Horace Gant, Saint Olaf... 6-2, 210 pounds... 4.55 sec. 40

DE Alonzo Dotson, Oklahoma... 6-3, 250 pounds... 5.0 sec. 40

I don't see any chance for any of those last six players, and think the three DEs signed (Gilberry, Smith and Dotson) are too slow for the NFL... any of the others might make a spirited bid for either a roster spot or a spot on the practice squad... basically, I think they did a pretty good job bringing in help for their offensive line, and I'm intrigued by Gatewood and Wilson on defense...
