UDFA Tracker Thread

[ChrisXVI]

The 2020 draft is nearing the end and UDFA signing news will start pouring in shortly. I know most of us are still trying to digest the 11th hour surprise QB pick but I’ll try to stay on top of our signings.

One guy I know we’re very interested in is Texas A&M WR Quartney Davis.

Gimme Derrick Dillon!

Callaway's a pretty good player. Better than some guys who got drafted, honestly.

Overview
One-trick prospect with field-stretching ability to work the third level, but lacking the route savvy and consistent competitiveness to get open underneath. Tape can be frustrating as Callaway simply doesn't play to his speed often enough and operates with a sense of lethargy at times. He's a natural pass-catcher with plus ball skills and offers punt return value, but he must improve his routes and prove he can be more than an occasional deep ball threat if he wants to hold an NFL job.

These scouting reports are always so exaggerated toward the negative. I think Callaway's biggest problem is he never played with a QB who wasn't terrible, at Tennessee.

I think apathy tends to lead to "lethargy". Not that it's an excuse, but it can be a reason. For a UDFA, he's a good get.

I'm told Calvin Throckmorton agreed with the Saints as an UDRFA


Player Bio
Throckmorton has been one of the most versatile linemen in the country. As a third-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-Pac-12 selection his senior year, he started 12 games at right tackle and two at center for the injured Jake Hanson. He started at four different positions for the Ducks in 2018 (six at right tackle, five at left tackle, one at center, one at right guard), earning honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors. He was an honorable mention all-conference pick in 2017 after starting all 13 games, the first 10 games at right tackle and the final three games at right guard. Even as a redshirt freshman, Throckmorton showed his durability by starting all 12 games at the right tackle spot. He's called "Doc Throck" by his teammates because he's smart (3.8 GPA, 2019 second-team Academic All-American). He was a first-team all-state and All-Seattle Metro star on both the offensive and defensive line at Bellevue's Newport High School before signing with Oregon.

Analysis
By Lance Zierlein
NFL Analyst
Overview
Well-built tackle-to-guard prospect with very good core strength and displacement power in his upper body. The problem for Throckmorton is that for all his contact balance and diligence to play under control, his lower body stiffness and lack of functional quickness permeates his play in both the run and pass and will be much more pronounced on an NFL offensive line. The technique and quality of play is draft-worthy but physical limitations might make him no better than a replaceable backup.
