Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch
 

I actually see a few that could make the team. Impressive list.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch
 

They've done that before with UDFA's. There are no strings attacked at this stage, so they will sign anyone. It's the impactful players that are all over the NFL that it would have been nice to have maybe one of them.

Dural is nice sign for a free agent. Tons of speed, but never was consistent at much of anything else. He could have put up better numbers if the QB play had been decent, but he still has a lot to work on at being an actual WR, and not just a guy who runs deep.

I see that someone had him with a 4.57 40 time. I don't know who did that or what was wrong with their stop watch, because he has run in the low 4.4's, and I believe even sub 4.4 before. He must not have been healthy when he ran that 4.57.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch
 

Yeah, UDFA's never makes active rosters, much less contribute. Pierre Thomas and Lance Moore are surely proof of that.

Some guys make immediate impacts, while others might take a year or so, but there are diamonds in the rough among free agents.

Wasn't Snead? And Tommylee the Flea made the team last year. And wasn't Coleman? Hey there's lots of stuff out there. Sometimes they're like PT, sometimes they never make it to the 53. But sometimes they make the team and turn out to be solid!

Come visit Utah.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch
 

This is where we make our money. Drafts are our Manchester by the Sea. Depressing and hopeless. Bet we find a speedy WR that not only takes the top off but out plays Cooks. Then some nobody defender ends up making half the tackles in PS.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch
 

Yeah Snead was, too. I didn't mention players like Coleman and Tommylee because they're kind of on the roster by default, right now. But yeah, it takes a short memory for someone to say that UDFA's are just practice squad fodder. They have just as much chance of making the team as a late round pick. You gotta get a little lucky, but there are good one's out there.

I always prefer our UDFA class over our picks in the 5th through 7th rounds (with some exceptions, obviously). They draft guys who either barely played, or have some kind of major issues in the late rounds, and then suddenly, when the draft is over, they find productive college players. I've always believed in production over "upside", unless the player with upside has actually demonstrated an ability on the field and not just gone to the combine and run all kinds of pointless drills, and wowed scouts, while having been extremely lackluster on the field.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Watch
 

I think this guy makes the team, Saints always do well with undrafted WR's.
