These UDFA's will make the 53

1. S -- Sebastian Castro ---- his game speed is much better than his timed speed.... no, you don't want him in man coverage, but would do well in zone where he can utilize his instincts.
Keep an eye on him in camp

2. OG Aiden Williams ---- active O-lineman that is the typical small school project that despite the odds, makes it in the staring lineup... has a mean streak and has a high motor .... Will probably have to put on a little more mass, but will surprise a lot of people

 

I like Roc Taylor's chance to make the 53. Very under-rated through the pre-draft process, IMO. He should at least secure a spot on the PS.(and probably get poached)

 

DINO!!!!!

 

If Boz wasn't an elite kicker, I'd give Sauls a great shot of making the roster. Sauls will be on some team's 53.

 

shhhhhhhhhhhh. your not allowed to mention these guys or you will get a reputation of backing every fringe player that they bring in.

 

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• Limited long speed and explosive traits show up in man coverage, where shifty slots can create separation with double moves
• Age is working against him as he'll turn 25 during his rookie season, likely limiting his draft ceiling despite solid production
• Can get grabby when matched up against vertical routes from the slot, leading to potential coverage penalties at the next level
• Occasional overaggressive angles in run support allow cutback lanes when he fails to break down in space
• Lacks ideal length and catch radius to consistently contest throws against bigger tight ends in the red zone

castro dropped a long way too.

 

lol Mentioning them is one thing. Treating them as if they are proven starters is another.

 

I hope Castro makes the team.

 

If Castro makes the team that would be four Hawkeyes in the last two drafts.

 

Heavy on Big-10 players this draft.

 

They don’t even need new jerseys

 

Don’t tell me that we are so cheap that we draft Iowa players so we can reuse their college jerseys

 

No

Just a fringe benefit

 

Every few years I get a UDFA I root for

Years ago it was the Aussie who
Played rugby

This year it is Thomas Perry OG from that football powerhouse Middlebury College in Vermont Division III

 

Perry is stout at 6'3" and 317 with quick feet. The question is how he can make the adjustment of going from D3 to the NFL. It wouldn't surprise me if he at least makes the practice squad.

 

Yes

Trying to be realistic I’m not rooting for him to make the 53 I’m rooting for him to make the practice squad

After that anything is possible

 

He certainly has the size and Lindenwood has been D1 the last few years.

 

There is a lot of B1G Teams now in comparison to previous years no less.

 

Gareth Warren and DJ Thomas Jones (the highest paid UFDA that isnt a QB) have my votes. How so?! Offensive Tackle depth is very much still up for grabs and Arthur Smith still doesnt have a true Fullback to use.


That said, a Tight End to Fullback conversion will be interesting to see. Last time a Steelers Player that had to transition to Fullback was Roosevelt Nix. He turned out to be pretty damb good; doubly so given his transition was from Defensive End to then Linebacker in college before he made the switch to Linebacker.


Here is hoping DJ Thomas Jones is just as violent as Nix was. For that matter, I am rooting for him the hardest among all UFDAs. Connor needs pushed.

 

Seems like a potential Miles Killebrew replacement down the line. At 32, we don't know how much longer he will be around and we will need another back up safety/ST specialist.

 

There are 18 teams in the B1G

No wonder kids aren’t good at math

I have a pretty good idea why they aren’t being taught English
