Who is the UDFA you are watching?

Who are you looking most forward to seeing besides our top draft picks.

WR Todd Blythe (Iowa State)
FB Olaniyi Sobomehin (Portland State).

these two really have my interests peaked.

I was looking at Cornelius Brown SS Missouri
5 ft 11in 205pounds
4.55 forty
Nagurski player of the week
Big 12 defensive player of the week twice
Great size, instinct, hitter
Knocks
Did have an achilles injury but great potential for development

Also Jerome Messam (Graceland)
6ft 4in 235pounds
4.55 forty (For His size this is impressive)
Hard to bring down, Bruser
Knocks
Say this guy is not the smartest but who cares I think the RB position is the easiest to learn in the NFL you have to have power and run for daylight

I don't know anything about these guys so I voted on their respective position.
Only one Safety picked. He gets my vote.
A Center? He gets my vote.
Two LB's? Two more votes.

Iceshack, our picks were almost identical. The only one I didn't choose was Rocky Schwartz. I picked Jumpy's son, Jeremy.

Good point. I overlooked him. He should be on the top of my list.
I've read good things about him. A common perception of him from what I've read is that he is a "classic edge rusher" who needs to add more bulk. He's 6'2" 250.

No worries. After I put my kids to bed I did some research on these guys.Oh, and the link didn't work.

OT Akim Millington (Illinois)(6'5" 312):
"Long armed, big framed, finesse RT."*
"His work ethic and consiatency must improve. After a year as backup, Millington should develop into a starter"**

WR Todd Blythe (Iowa State)(6'4" 210):
This guy apparently has promise.
"A willing blocker. Unlikely to drop a ball in his area. A big bodied target who can create matchup problems."***
"Plays taller than he is... is tough and smart"**

QB T.C. Ostrander (Stanford)(6'2" 221)
"Ostrander has a strong enough arm and is intelligent and tough."***
"Very raw, injury prone West Coast passer"*

FS David Roach (Texas-Christian University)(6'1" 212)
"Good straight line speed. Physical to support the run. Flashes explosiveness as a hitter."***

And add to this Could Care Less.

Really, though I like the WR too. Plays taller that he is? Wow.
