the official UDFA thread

Congrats to Jordan Bright, class of '08, Indiana State, picked up by the Indy Colts! Awesome job! I am so excited for him and his family!

 

Added a DE

Has he been signed or invited to minicamp

[RomanianColtsFan]

There is a misunderstanding here. The Colts may cut from their current roster if they fall in love with too many of the undrafted but most of the cuts will come from among the undrafted themselves. This is just a tryout. They won't go in the training camp with most of them because there is a limit to the number of players a team may have in the camp.

However, that last preseason game is even more pathetic now.

It's not pathetic to the players who are on the fringe.

[Maniq]

When is the deadline for cuts? 

[Warhawk]

Scouts Inc. has Swanson as the #8 best available UDFA. 

[Pancake Block]

Here's the whole list

[ryano]

Malone, Sampson, and Price are my favorite UDFA's.  We may have people in these positions, but Whalen and Vaughn for example have no history that doesn't allow them to be replaced.

[Smonroe]

It's not pathetic to the players who are on the fringe.

I said it's their last chance to show other teams what they can do. It's pathetic to the season ticket holders who have to pay full price for that game.

The NFL really should be ashamed of themselves. I've said it before, they should embrace the minor leagueness of it and cut the ticket price in half. Have lots of give aways, etc. Make it a party instead of a funeral.

[Coltsman1788]

I think Daxton Swanson and Emmett Cleary have good shots to make the team.  Intrigued by Lenear Sampson but lots of competition at WR.

This guy Sheldon Price has good potential to me. His game is not that bad, he just needs to gain a little muscle weight. Tall lanky corner in the mold of Jonathan Banks. I think he could make our team.

[BlueNation]

These are who I found we have signed so far:

Lanear Simpson, WR, Baylor

Daxton Swanson, CB, Sam Houston State

Brandon McManus, K, Temple

Dan Moore, FB, Montana

Emmett Cleary, OT, Boston College

C.O. Prime, DE, Wagner

Mechael Josifovski, K, Marian

Denodus O'Bryant, RB, Lindenwood

Sheldon Price, CB, UCLA

Nigel Malone, CB, Kansas State

Jamal-Rashad Patterson, WR, Stanford

Nick Driskill, S, Mount Union

Rodrick Rumble, WR, Idaho State

Jordan Bright, DT, Indiana State

Jerome Cunningham, TE, Southern Connecticut

[jvan1973]

I would think one of the two kickers..

why would they sign them, only to cut them a few hours later?

[PrincetonTiger]

agreed 

 

McNanus might be cut after minicsmp if MJ outshines him and gets signed

[HGRekks]

I'm all in on Dan Moore. I like what he has to offer. I hope his game translates to the NFL, because he's the kind of physical fullback who can catch I like to see. HE can always get better at blocking (like Jerome Felton and Lex Hilliard [Hilliard being a former Grizzlie himself], who were primarily college runners.)

I won't be hurt if he doesn't make it, and he has to translate those skills and perform, but I'm pushing for him. I really like the skillset of our fullbacks, as the three can run and receive as well as block. So long as one of them performs, I'm game.

Rodrick Rumble, WR, Idaho State

Jordan Bright, DT, Indiana State

Jerome Cunningham, TE, Southern Connecticut

Cunningham is 6'4 240 but only had 29 catches for 337 yards as a senior but it looks like the Owls did not run an offense that used TEs because there were four on the roster and Jerome lead the pack

[PrincetonTiger]

After looking into Sheldon Price I really like his size and ball skills

 

I think he can make it in the NFL

[Drewbacca]

Resident UCLA fan, shocked Price did not get selected in the 5th-7th rounds. 

[James]

Price can't be worse than Vaughn or Gordy. And a bigger corner would be nice to have.

[Dr. T]

We worked out Cunningham.

[NewColtsFan]

Price can't be worse than Vaughn or Gordy. And a bigger corner would be nice to have.

 

You do realize that Grigson and Pagano could've let both Vaughn and Gordy leave after this past season.

 

And yet,  they decided to re-sign them both.   And then they didn't draft a corner.  

 

Typically, we keep five corners.   Here are our top 5:   Davis, Toler, Butler, Vaughn and Gordy.   I'm not saying these will be our 5 once September arrives,  but they're the top 5 now.

 

Seems management likes them much more than you and many others around here.....

 

Just sayin.....

[CanuckColt]

Cunningham is 6'4 240 but only had 29 catches for 337 yards as a senior but it looks like the Owls did not run an offense that used TEs because there were four on the roster and Jerome lead the pack

So we have a TE named Jerome Cunningham and a TE named Justice Cunningham (pick 254).

Hmmmmmm.....

[Narcosys]

Lenny's last tweet-

@LennySampson3

Good freakin night!! That's alot. I don't like getting Patterson. Afraid pep might have some biased. Even tho he doesn't make the final decision, I see him putting in a good word.
