Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
Rod Sweeting, CB, Georgia Tech
Height: 5112 Weight:189 Arm Length: 31 1/4 Hand Size: 9 40 time: 4.42 20: 10:1.50 3 Cone:7.10 Vert: 37 Broad: 10 04 Bench: 11 XP 58 SQD M40 709.24 M10 522.60 He is a physical, intelligent corner and his tenacity earned him a late-round selection. Instant impact on special teams. Latest News 01/10/2013 - Georgia Tech defensive end Izaan Cross and cornerback Rod Sweeting have been selected to play in the prestigious East-West Shrine Game Jan. 19 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., kicking off at 4 p.m. EST and televised live on NFL Network. The Yellow Jacket duo will play for the East team and will be coached by former Tech assistant Jerry Glanville. Cross and Sweeting join an elite list of football greats who have played in the East-West Shrine Game including 52 players currently on active NFL rosters. Cross and Sweeting represent the third and fourth Yellow Jackets who played under head coach Paul Johnson to play in the Shrine Game. Cord Howard (2009) and Mario Butler (2010) were previously selected. - Georgia Tech football More Rod Sweeting News Overview Sweeting was one of the top recruits out Georgia, choosing in-state Georgia Tech over Ohio State and Auburn. He didn't start as a freshman or sophomore, but he played in every game as a valuable member of the secondary. Sweeting started all 13 games in 2011 at cornerback, defending 12 passes and earning All-ACC Honorable Mention honors as he tied for the team-lead with three interceptions. He earned an invitation to the East-West Shrine Game, where he was coached by former Yellow Jackets assistant Jerry Glanville. Analysis He has good length for the position, but needs to add more muscle and bulk to his lean frame to match up better at the next level. Sweeting plays fast with smooth body control and natural instincts to read/react in a flash while staying under control.--Dane Brugler Roderick Sweeting, CB, Georgia Tech, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com YES i got one |
Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
Chase Thomas, OLB, Stanford
Height: 6-3 Weight:244 lbs Arm Length: 32 1/4 Hand Size: 9 5/8 40 time: 4.87 20: 2.73 10:1.63 SS 4.31 3 Cone:7.17 Vert: 32.00 Broad: 9'5" Bench: 18 03/28/2013 - 2013 Stanford Pro Day: Chase Thomas, LB (6-3 1/8, 243) - Thomas ran the 40 in 4.80 and 4.85 seconds, did 21 lifts on the bench, and stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine. Thomas moves well, but lacks the all-out great speed required at linebacker. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com More Chase Thomas News Overview Coming into the season, the senior?s draft stock was all over the map, some believing he was first round material while others thought he was a late round pick. But Thomas? overachieving attitude and combination of strength and smarts has cemented his value in the top 75 range, and possibly higher as April gets closer. Analysis Thomas? impact for Stanford?s defense is felt way past the box score with his constant disruption on the pocket and against the run. In an overtime loss to Notre Dame in South Bend in October, he was extremely active with stunts and pressures, attacking from different angles and directions. Thomas showed strong hands and wrists to stack and shed quickly to keep blockers off balance. He is tough to contain because of his energetic playing style and quick feet to avoid blockers, using arm-over technique to gain leverage and break through the line of scrimmage. Thomas plays disciplined with a high football IQ. Although he isn?t naturally explosive or a quick-twitch pass rusher, he plays fast and hard with controlled aggression and goes at full speed any time he?s on the field. --Dane Brugler Chase Thomas, OLB, Stanford, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com nice |
Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
I'm surprised Thomas went undrafted.

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
Good! How long does the UDFA window last?

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
I REALLY like Reddick
|
Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
He's the name that sticks out for me as well.
STRENGTHS Intelligent, hard-working defender who consistently fulfills his assignments. When at middle linebacker, he reads his keys, doesn’t freelance, hits his run fits, and doesn’t play outside of his abilities. Good vision to the ball, out-quicks approaching linemen, works his way through trash well, and has the upper body strength to wrap up running backs coming through the hole. Also takes out linemen with cut blocks to free up teammates to make the stop. Shows surprising dip and flexibility around the edge as a defensive end, and boxes well to force the ball back inside. Does not possess sideline to sideline range, but has a nice short area closing burst, coming downhill quickly on blitzing or seeing a lane to a running back. Breaks down quickly to grab elusive ballcarriers trying to cut against the grain. Can handle short areas in zone coverage over the middle against tight ends and crossers, and is capable of dropping into coverage even after showing blitz in the A-gaps before the snap. WEAKNESSES Height works against him at times; loses the leverage battle in the run game and struggles dealing with trash at his feet, being susceptible to cut blocks. Better reading his keys to beat blockers to their spot than taking them on and disengaging. Gets overaggressive shooting gaps and running himself upfield, allowing backs to find cutback lanes. Lacks elite recovery speed to catch ballcarriers if he false steps or is unable to get off a block. Must prove he has the stamina to play four quarters at a high level in the NFL. Phone booth player with average change-of-direction ability who will struggle in space. Although he played more on the edge as a senior, it’s unlikely that he has the length or athleticism to do so in the NFL. NFL COMPARISON Kevin Burnett BOTTOM LINE Reddick is yet another North Carolina defender with a somewhat turbulent career but possesses the size and athleticism NFL scouts covet in a prospect likely to be picked on the second day of the draft. The four-year starter presents some position versatility in the NFL. He could start in the middle in the NFL as a thumper for a 3-4 team, or, if he proves he has the athleticism, could possibly be a candidate at strongside linebacker for some teams. This position versatility, his production over four seasons starting, and excellent size make Reddick a likely late second to early third day candidate. Kevin Reddick Draft Profile I like. |
Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
Kevin Reddick, MLB, North Carolina
Height: 6013 Weight: 243 Arm Length:32 1/4 Hand Size: 9 3/4 40 time: 4.71 20: 2.60 10:1.60 SS 4.33 3 Cone:7.13 Vert: 30 1/2 Broad: 9' 05" Bench: 23 Overview Over the last two years, three North Carolina linebackers have been drafted (Zach Brown, Bruce Carter, Quan Sturdivant). And Reddick, who is the Tar Heels' top defensive prospect, will be the next talented linebacker to hear his name on draft weekend. Reddick, who was a four-star recruit out of high school, chose North Carolina over Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee. After he spent a season at a prep school to improve his grades, Reddick arrived at North Carolina and immediately earned a starting job, starting 20 games over his freshman and sophomore seasons. He battled injuries in 2011, but started 11 games and still finished second on the team with 71 tackles. Reddick is an impressive athlete and strong, physical tackler. Entering the 2012 season, Notre Dame middle linebacker Manti Te'o was the consensus No. 1 player at his position for the 2013 NFL Draft. But Reddick wasn't far behind in most rankings. While Te'o has lived up to his high-billing and just about cemented his first round value, Reddick has done the opposite. Analysis Often used as a blitzer for the Tar Heels in 2012, Reddick has been impressive attacking downhill. But he has also made too many mistakes for a senior linebacker, two-time team captain and four-year starter. Reddick is a bit straight-linish and stiff, but makes up for his lack of fluidity with his instincts and defensive intelligence, putting himself in positions to succeed. Reddick has the skill-set to earn a starting job in the NFL and currently projects as a solid second day selection. The biggest reason Reddick has been a faller this season is his questionable effort on the field, too often giving up on plays once engaged and going at half-speed if the play isn't run directly at him. He rarely leaves the field so some of it might be fatigue, but inconsistent urgency and motor is a large concern that will force NFL teams to think twice on draft day. --Dane Brugler Kevin Reddick, ILB, North Carolina, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com |
Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
I've read a lot of projections where he was pegged to be a 4 to 5th round pick. Hopefully he becomes one of our next hidden gems via UDFA.

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
Ray Shipman, LB, Central Florida
Height: 6032 Weight: 242 Arm Length: Hand Size: 40 time: 4.69 20: 2.72 10:1.62 SS 4.40 3 Cone:7.06 Vert: 35 1/2 Broad: 9' 09" Bench: 16 Ray Shipman is what teams want out of a Line Backer. At 6'5 245 lbs he has the perfect size combined with incredible athleticism from his days as Florida's "Mr. Basketball" and his stint on the UF Basketball team. Draft Zone Spotlight: Ray Shipman, LB, University of Central Florida Ray Shipman is a very special athlete, we are not talking about a four year starting linebacker who has all the talent in the world. He was voted onto the C-USA All-Academic Team, and started 12 games on the season, amassing 91 tackles with 3.5 tackles for loss. What makes this more special is the fact that he was a point guard coming out of school for the Florida Gators. Shipman became a strong linebacker for the UCF Knights after spending two years on the Gators Basketball team. He made the transition seem fairly easy. This kid is athletic and at 6’5, 240 pounds this kid is a gamer ladies and gentlemen. Draft Zone Spotlight: Ray Shipman, LB, University of Central Florida » NFL Draft Zone now he sounds like he maybe a nice addition |

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
According to Sean:
“What we would typically do, right now in the draft room there would be the depth chart, offensively and defensively with the current roster, current draft picks, and there would be a series of magnets and then we would take grey or black magnets that represented unnamed players and stack them behind certain positions. The tight end right now might have one or two magnets behind them, the receiver may have one, there might be a few magnets inside guard, maybe one at right tackle, running back there may be one, quarterback one, " We should look for an RB and some more OL fellas coming down the pike. Should we make a poll on which part of the country the RB comes from? |

Thomas and Reddick. Very nice.

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
Bills signed Tennessee Tech WR Da'Rick Rogers.
Rogers (6-3, 217) closed out his college career at Tennessee Tech after racking up a 67/1,040/15.5/9 line as a sophomore. Rogers was dismissed from Tennessee for "mutiple" substance-abuse violations, and since admitted to three failed drug tests. At the Combine, Rogers ran a 4.52 forty and his 11-foot broad jump was second longest among receivers. As a 20-year-old, Rogers dominated the SEC to the extent that he might have been a first-rounder if not for off-field concerns. Character concerns were certainly the main reason Rogers went undrafted, but he could turn into a Week 1 starter for the Bills if he keeps his head on straight. Browns signed LSU OT Chris Faulk. Faulk (6-5, 331) made just 15 career starts at LSU before a torn right ACL and MCL ended his junior season after one game. He required separate surgeries for each knee ligament, but declared for the draft anyway. A possible late first-rounder before the injuries, Faulk's best NFL position is likely right tackle. When healthy, he flashes an aggressive mean streak in the run game. He'll compete for a swing tackle role with the Browns if he proves healthy. via rotoworld I really really wanted these two guys. |
Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
we need a dislike button dam missed out on faulk

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
nothing on RB or OT

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
Good to see my alumni get signed :D

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
I really like some of the UDFA signings, but they should've landed Faulk when he went undrafted!
