Thinking undraftted rookie free agents...

[silverbear]

With the relatively small number of draft picks the Boys are likely to end up with this year, I have a hunch that they'll be a little more active than usual when it comes to pursuing UDRFAs this year... remember, the 80 man roster is "flexible" right now, because any draft picks won't count against the total until they actually sign, and the Boys don't generally sign their draft picks until the final few days before training camp... so if we wind up with just 5 picks, we could technically carry 985 players most of the spring and summer... as a result, I wouldn't be surprised if the Boys signed 15 UDRFAs or more... with that in mind, I have a list of players that might be on their wish list... keep in mind two points:

1) A few of these prospects might wind up getting drafted late, particularly those in the first grouping...

2) Some players we currently consider draftable might slide through...

But keeping that in mind, here's a preliminary list... players in bold fonts are players the Boys have already demonstrated a level of interest in, players in blue fonts are players I really like...

Matt Nichols, QB, Eastern Washington
Sean Lissemore, DT/DE, William and Mary
Jameson Konz, FB/TE, Kent State
J'Marcus Webb, OT, West Texas A&M
Duke Calhoun, WR, Memphis
Trindon Holliday, WR/KR, LSU
Rafael Priest, CB, TCU
Hunter Lawrence, K, Texas

Again, these are all players who seem to be on the fringe of the draft, half of them or more might wind up being drafted... if any of them go undrafted, I'd surely be looking to add them to the roster...

Garrett Lindholm, K, Tarleton State
Reggie Stephens, C/OG, Iowa State
Shawnbrey McNeal, RB, SMU
Kevin Jurovich, WR, San Jose State
Matt Mayberry, ILB, Indiana
Nic Richmond, OT, TCU
Jordan Pugh, DB, Texas A&M
Aaron Morgan, OLB, Louisiana-Monroe
Jeff Cumberland, TE, Illinois
William Rose, FB, Florida Atlantic
Kelton Tindal, WR, Newberry
Jeff Cottam, TE, Tennessee
Michael Greco, S, Central Florida
Robert Rose, DE, Ohio State
Ryan D'Imperio, ILB/FB, Rutgers
Freddie Harris, OLB/SS, Central Oklahoma
Sean Allen, C/OG, East Carolina
Carl Spitale, OT, Florida Atlantic
Bryan McCann, CB, SMU
Nick Graziano, QB, Arkansas Tech
Torrin Fletcher, OG/OT, Montana
Trenton Tuiasosopo, ILB, Washington
James Peters, FB, Abilene Christian

There's 31 players I'd have on my watch list, 15 of them the Boys seem to be interested in...
