Talking UDRFAs...

[silverbear]

If the info is correct, so far we've signed 12... here they are, in order of their draft ranking:

Lonyae Miller, RB, Fresno St.
Matt Nichols, QB, Eastern Washington
Will Barker, OT, Virginia
Barry Church, S, Toledo
Danny McCray, S, LSU
Rashaun Greer, WR, Colorado St.
Chet Teofilo, OG, Cal
Terrell Hudgins, WR, Elon (conversion to H-back??)
Chris Gronkowski, FB, Arizona
Phil Costa, C/OG, Maryland
Bryan McCann, CB/KR, SMU
Junior Aumavae, NT, Minnesota St.-Mankato

At this point, the Boys have 62 players under contract, 6 draft picks and the 12 UDRFAs listed above... since the 6 draft picks don't count against the roster until they sign (generally in the day or two before camp starts), the Boys could theoretically carry as many as 6 more UDRFAs... I'd say 4 or 5 would be more likely, as I think they're liable to leave an opening or two for potential veteran free agent signings...

With this in mind, here are a baker's dozen of unsigned draft prospects who I could see them targeting:

OG/OT Chris Degeare, Wake Forest
OT/OG Andrew Tyshnovnytsky, Fordham
OT Carl Spitale, Florida Atlantic
OG/OT Torrin Fletcher, Montana... I could see the Boys signing one or two more offensive linemen...

RB Shawnbrey McNeal, SMU... I think with Lonyae Miller signed, another RB is unlikely, but they liked him...

FB William Rose, Florida Atlantic
FB James Peters, Abilene Christian... a 260 pound conversion project from DE...

ILB Trenton Tuiasosopo, Washington

OLB/SS Freddie Harris, Central Oklahoma... runs a sub-4.5 40, might be a candidate to move from OLB to SS...

FS Jeromy Miles, Massachusetts
CB Rafael Priest, TCU
S Michael Greco, Central Florida... a conversion project from QB, he runs a 4.4 40 and has great size for the position...

K Garrett Lindholm, Tarleton... I read today that Connor Hughes has been nicked up this offseason, and the Boys have shown some interest in Lindholm...

I'd take 4 or 5 from this list and be happy... 1 or 2 OL, a K, 1 or 2 of the DBs, maybe another FB...

We got Lonyae Miller? I had him rated just behind Ben Tate. Similar to Felix, he played behind a heck of a RB but may actually become the better pro.

I'm a little confused on the Cowboys signing Chris Gronkowski. New England drafted Rob Gronkowski. Are they brothers, or is this a mix up?

Brothers...

FB William Rose, Florida Atlantic

this dude would be a great signing. axl rose's real name is also william rose. if nothing else, he would be better than slash.

Here are some guys I am hoping get a chance at FB:

Steve Sicko NH 6'4 250 4.5 (Hope he comes to his senses soon)
Cody Slate Marshall 6'3 230 4.6 (recovering from injury)

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cowboys cut a few of their vets to make room for any of their FA signings.

Looks like Mike Tepper, OT/OG, California, is added to the mix.

Cool, I like him better than I like his teammate Teofilo...

Glad somebody else is mentioning kicker. Good shout - re Lindholm. Kid looks interesting!

J Miles at S could be interesting.

I'm sure several of these guys will make the PS, and I'd bet 1-2 will make the roster this year.

Keiland Williams RB LSU

I read during the draft that we had our eye on him. Anyone know if he has signed anywhere yet?

There is even a third brother who plays for Detroit.

according to gil brandt's best of the rest article, we also have this guy: Verran Tucker, California: Dallas Cowboys (Source: Contra Costa Times)

Yeah, and some people considered him a real sleeper because he was the backup there, but he's got good size and speed and was really productive. He aso played in a prostyle offense.

With Jones, Barber and Choice here he probably wont make the team unless somebody gets hurt or they keep 4 RB's (instead of 3+ FB) but he's a nice add.

I wonder why any UDFA WR would sign here. I know you never know what happens, but we are so deep at WR even with the guys we are bringing back that didnt make the team or were on the practice squad. Won't be enough reps to go around

Most of the time its because they were the best offer. Romo taking less to come to Dallas is the exception rather than the rule.

I think Crayton will be traded and Hurd has run his course. There very well could be room for one rookie free agent WR and then there is always the practice squad. The team probably sold them by telling them Crayton and Hurd will not be here much longer and look at how we have developed Austin and we also have Ogletree developing.
