Just agreed with the New Orleans Saints to sign my client Jordan Steckler (T/G, Northern Illinois) there. Very interesting prospect who many teams were interested in.

Texas DT Malcolm Roach to the #Saints

Re: UDFA Tracker Thread
 

Roach is an interesting player. Very undersized, though, as I remember.

Player Bio
Roach earned all-state honors as a defensive lineman or linebacker in each of his four years playing for Baton Rouge's Madison Prep Academy. He also showed versatility during his Longhorns career. Roach started five games at linebacker as a true freshman, making 33 stops, eight for loss, and three sacks in 12 games. He started three (two at linebacker, one at end) of 12 games played as a sophomore (37 tackles, four for loss, two sacks). Roach's junior campaign was interrupted by a fractured foot -- he started three games at linebacker (24 tackles, 1.5 for loss). He lined up at defensive end for the team's bowl game, just as he did in 13 starts as a senior. Roach was an honorable mention All-Big 12 pick in 2019 (40 tackles, nine for loss, three sacks, one blocked kick). Mike Roach, Malcolm's father, was an All-American linebacker at Southern University. Malcolm's community efforts include "Kicks4Kids," which helped deliver shoes to kids in need.

Draft Projection
Rounds 6-7

Overview
While Roach did what was asked of him at Texas, it was rare that you could feel his presence in terms of taking over a game or even a half. He's a short-limbed, tight-legged defender with natural power and some funk in his hands. Roach needs an efficient pathway to the backfield and is better-suited as a gapping 3-technique or maybe even a shade nose if he can add good mass on his frame. The lack of length and below-average pass rush is a concern, but a move inside should bolster his chances of making a roster or practice squad as a rotational interior defender in an upfield 4-3 scheme.

LSU TE Thaddeus Moss, Randy Moss’ son and an undrafted free agent, plans to sign with the Washington Redskins, per source.

Re: UDFA Tracker Thread
 

That's taller than he looks, and I think somebody added some non-existent weight, as well. I saw him play a few times, and it seemed like he moved well and made some plays. But he just looks like he'd get pushed around in the NFL.
