    After reading TTF's story on Quincy Enunma, I started thinking. Enunwa is actually a guy I remembered, but not somebody that I did a lot of study on. 6'2 225 is a little outside the norm for the body of a WR, almost more of a HB. Any game that I did catch him in, he seemed a little slow. So after reading the story, I looked into the guy, and he had 12 TDs this past year. He also ran 4.45 at the Combine and benched 225lbs 19 times. He was barely noticeable in the Wisconsin games that I saw him play, but he had such a productive 2013 season, its tough not to take notice.

    Obviously he is on the Raiders and Steelers radar, amongst others I am sure. Not sure where he ends up going.

    But I thought I would start a thread for everyone to list their late round picks and possible UDFAs who you think will make an impact in the NFL. Who ya got?

    Coleman would not count as a late round or UDFA prospect.

    he should get drafted. I figured enuma would be too though. Janis also as I said. all these guys could go late, they are big wr's. I did here DJ coles from VT had a workout with the pats. he was a decent receiver at VT. not sure why the big snub for him. had some knee issues but didn't seem to be serious.:cool:

    I was going by CBSSports and their draft projections and they had Coleman as a 5-6 rd player, so that counts as a late round.

    Christian Bryant S (OSU) - Our secondary fell apart when he injured his ankle. Not a tremendous athlete, but an incredibly smart player. Definitely a UDFA guy that could end up providing ST/ back up value at safety in the future. Was a team leader.

    Kenny Guiton QB (OSU) - Definitely worth a shot as a developmental guy. Has a really nice arm, and came up clutch when the Buckeyes needed him. Very good athlete as well. If it weren't for Miller in front of him, he could easily have been the best QB in the Big Ten. Lots of potential.

    Denicos Allen OLB (Mich St.) - Undersized guy, but was the heart and soul of a truly bad @$$ defense. Good speed and very good tackler. Could be a good sub package LB'er much like Garvin.

    Boo Boo Gates S (BGSU) - I like this kid's game. Solid athlete, and was one of the better players on a team that won the MAC championship.

    Ryan Carrethers NT (Ark. St.) - Small school kid, but has the prototypical size for a 3-4 NT. Could be worth a shot to be a guy that plays in base set situations only.

    Shayne Skov ILB Stanford I read he struggled to run 5.2 forty recently, if true he will drop in the draft.

    CB Dexter McDougle, Maryland - 5'10 195
    Had 3 INTs as sophomore and then had 3 INTs in 3 games as senior before going down with a season ending shoulder injury. He also reportedly ran mid 4.4s at his pro day. Looks like a gem.

    CB Jimmy Legree, South Carolina, 6'0 190
    Less heralded than his teammate Vic Hampton, but more productive. Ran a poor 40 at his pro day, mid 4.6s, but I like his size and body type. Perhaps our resident Gamecock expert could shed some more light on him.

    CB Keon Lyn, Syracuse - 6'1 200
    Has the swagger needed to play CB. Had 3 INTs as a junior before dislocating his kneecap as a senior which wiped out most of his season. Familiarity with the Shark.

    S Alden Darby - Arizona St, 5'10 195
    Hesitant to list him in this category as I have him as a 4th round pick, however, most of him in the 6th/7th round area. Don't care that he ran a poor 40 time as he can definitely cover the field. Was spectacular at the East-West Shrine Game.

    RB Beau Blakenship, Ohio - 5'8 195

    I'm going to keep beating the drum on this guy. He has alot of Danny Woodhead qualities. Even though he played at Ohio, he is from Oklahoma and actually worked out at the Sooners pro day. Athletically, he tested aswell or better than any Sooner. He ran a 4.47 forty time. He has experience catching the ball, very agile and doesn't mind sticking his helmet into a LB in pass protection. He is the the kind of RB I am looking to take out of this draft but probably can be had as an UDFA.

    How about Lorenzo Taliaferro, RB, Coastal Carolina. He's probably not a star in the making, but he's a 230 lb. guy with excellent production at the FCS level (29 TDs last year), good hands and made some nice blocks in the game that I watched. Best fit is in a zone scheme as he is pretty much a 1 cut and go type of runner who seems to have decent vision.
