UDFA Tracker

[AzorAhai]

I've got to head out so it's on someone else to keep everyone informed.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Cole Beasely was undrafted, Sterling Moore was undrafted........the list goes on

Moore signed with the Pats originally.

 

[conner01]

If Dallas signed Adams, I guarantee he beats out Prescott.

Sure he would

 

[Verdict]

I echo the Striker sentiment. He should be a top priority free agent. The guy is a qb sacking machine!!!! Go get him Jerry!!!

 

[lostar2009]

Outside of Romo, who's the last UDFA we've had to make an impact?

Barry Church, Cole Beasley, Dan Bailey, la'rel Collins, Ronald Leary. Those are the guys I can think of. All those guys are starters and if not contributes.

 

[conner01]

Beats out Prescott in what?

To the bathroom

[WhizKid]

[Aven8]

How the hell did Striker go undrafted?? This guy has been a play making machine for OU for like 5 years it seems! I know he's short, but he can play!

Brugler's report on Brendel

SUMMARY: UCLA’s all-time leader in career starts (52), Jacob “Jake” Brendel has been a fixture at center since he won the starting job as a redshirt freshman in 2012. And aside from one game in 2014 (nursed a minor knee injury), he started every game for the Bruins since 2012, earning team captain status as a sophomore, junior and senior. Brendel, who was named Second Team All-Pac 12 the last two seasons, is highly intelligent on and off the field (named to UCLA’s honor roll nine different semesters) with the set-up and hand quickness to occupy defenders off the snap. However, his lean lower body and lack of brute power also stand out, leaving him off-balance or grabbing jersey, which will attract penalties. He doesn’t have the hand strength to reset or control the line of scrimmage, often forgetting his feet and giving ground. While his smarts and reliability are appealing, Brendel will struggle to match up physically with what NFL interior defensive linemen will throw at him.

Short armed center ala Costa or the Akron C we had about 5 yrs ago

No report from Brugler on Colquhon, Milligan., Traylor, Stiverson, Coe or Neil

Here is Marz

SUMMARY: With Rick Wagner graduating following the 2012 season, Wisconsin turned to Marz as the team’s new left tackle and he responded by starting every game there the past three years. He leaves Madison with 40 career starts (all at left tackle), earning All-Conference honors each of the last three seasons. A senior captain, he received an invitation to the 2016 East-West Shrine Game where he practiced mainly at right tackle. While he works hard to stay glued to blocks, Marz has slow feet and heavy lower body movements, causing him to hunch at the waist and lose balance. His poor hand mechanics stick out like a sore thumb on tape with late timing, sporadic placement and weak hands that won’t be able to control NFL rushers. There is no questioning the experience as three-year starter at left tackle in a major conference, but Marz doesn’t have the functional athleticism or power to stay on the edges – best shot at a pro career will be to transition inside to guard.

Here is Hedelin

SUMMARY: Growing up in Sweden, Hedelin developed a love for American football, but his options were limited. He played on a club team after graduating high school, spending his time between Sweden, Argentina and Spain. At the age of 21, he arrived in the U.S. for the first time and played two years at City College of San Francisco, developing into an attractive JUCO recruit and committing to the Boilermakers. After serving a three-game NCAA suspension (for playing on club teams) in 2014 at Purdue, Hedelin settled in at left tackle, starting 17 games the last two seasons (missed two games in 2015 due to a concussion). He has adequate movement skills and flexibility to sink and adjust to rushers, but his best attribute is his physicality and killer mentality, clearing run lanes and burying defenders. His aggressive nature often gets him in trouble and at 25-years-old, Hedelin is still extremely raw in several areas, including the English language – long-term project with upside.

Chris Brown

BACKGROUND: A four-star wide receiver recruit, Christopher “Chris” Brown was courted by numerous east coast teams, including in-state South Carolina, but Brown committed to Notre Dame – set the state triple jump record in high school track and field. After just two catches as a true freshman in 2012, he started three games as a sophomore and posted 15 receptions for 209 yards and his first career score. Brown became a starter as a junior in 2014 (11 starts) and recorded 39 catches for 548 yards and one touchdown. He started all 13 games as a senior in 2015 and finished second on the team with 48 receptions for 597 yards and four touchdowns – all career-highs. Brown accepted his invitation to the 2016 East-West Shrine Game.
STRENGTHS: Quick catch-and-go target with athleticism to weave through defenders…shows some craftiness to his routes, continuing to work and get open…enough speed to keep defensive backs from sitting on his routes…sharp footwork along the sideline and in/out of his breaks…plucking skills to scoop the ball off his shoelaces or attack away from his frame…good height/length blend for the position…praised by the Irish coaching staff for his blocking ability and willingness…strong practice player and takes players under his wing – professional mind-set…consistent starting production, including career-bests as a senior.
WEAKNESSES: Not a natural catcher of the football and doesn’t trust his hands…mistimes his jumps and doesn’t have the catch radius of most receivers with his size dimensions…thin-limbed and lack of functional strength shows in contested situations…hears footsteps and loses focus when defenders crowd his air space…too easily knocked off his route…doesn’t show separation traits to release from corners on his hip…not a dangerous downfield threat with marginal tracking skills…eager blocker, but lacks the body power to square and sustain…lacks experience as a return man.
SUMMARY: A two-year starter, Brown steadily improved the last four seasons, which was reflected in the stat sheet, finishing second on the team in receiving as a senior. He has a linear body type, lacks power and doesn’t have the elusive traits to make defenders miss, but he gets what he should and pays attention to the details. Although he has shown the ability to make tough catches, Brown allows his focus to wane, dropping too many easy passes. He was a solid collegiate pass-catcher, but there isn’t much that separates him as a pro prospect – borderline draftable who will have a tough time making a final roster.

Shocking! Never would have thought we would get both Coe and King!

 

[IlliniNation]

I also like WR Geronimo Allison

Yes, I thought he would be drafted. Very good WR

 

[Dallas_Cowboys50]

Aint much, but this is Broaddus on Milligan, who he had us drafting in the 6th- "Rolan Milligan plays with range and is a finisher. When on the move he can cover some ground."

Deon King

SUMMARY: A non-academic qualifier out of high school, King attended Fork Union Military Academy in 2011 and had only one scholarship offer, enrolling at FCS-level Norfolk State. He emerged as a sophomore starter as an inside linebacker in the Spartans’ 3-4 base and his tackle production increased each season. As a senior, King led all of Division-I (FBS and FCS) with 163 tackles in 2015 to become the program’s first consensus All-American and winner of the Buck Buchanan Award (top FCS defender). He is undersized by NFL standards with a frame near maxed out physically, but he is a magnet to the ball, who is quick to break down the action and attack. King is a flexible athlete and form tackler, coming to balance and striking with proper pad level to finish. He finds himself hung up on blocks, lacking the take-on power to easily shed, but he plays with a chip on his shoulder and his production matches the tape – not the NFL prototype, but could earn a roster spot in camp.
