Tracy Denton Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I just get a "gut" feeling that this years UDFA crop will have more talent than in recent years. Do you agree and what players might be worth taking a look at ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezyColt Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 With all the underclassmen that declared this year, I think it makes sense that there should be more talented players that don't get drafted. Let's hope Grigs can get some nice pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this another very bad evaluation from CBS Sports. Unless there are serious questions over off the field issues, and there are none that I'm aware of now, there's no way DAT is a 6th round talent when Tavon Austin was the 8th player overall. They're not THAT FAR apart! Is Austin better? Yes. Much better? Maybe. But 5-6 rounds better? I sure don't think so. Both Kiper and McShay flirted with him in the first round earlier this year.... I suspect he'll go in the top-100 players, but I don't see him getting past the 4th round.... I'd be very, very surprised... again, unless there's some red-flag issues that I'm unaware of....

Does the presence of another small scat back type player (Dri Archer) factor in at all? Where does Archer get drafted? He's small, but I think a little bigger (more pounds) than DAT. But he's fast and elusive. There's a premium on guys like that... I like them both... but, as you noted, they're not every down guys, they're situational players... you devise a package for guys like that.... but, to me, they're worth it... A nice mid-round pick and you can do some serious damage with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshinator Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Shaq Evans WR UCLAEd Stinson DE AlabamaCorey Latimer WR IndianaAaron Colvin CB OklahomaMichael Schofield G MichiganTrai Turner G LSU Here are a few more choices at need positions that could fall for one reason or another on draft day. There are 85 underclassmen declaring for the draft (I believe), so we picked the right year not to have a first round pick as we can still bring in a nice haul of UDFA's.

I like Schofield as a swing G/T. He seems to be gaining traction, though, so I doubt he make it out of the draft. I've seen mostly 5th round grades for him, and that's before the Senior Bowl.

NewColtsFan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Very true, what do you think of My other choices, Both at RB and other positions Honestly, I don't know enough about the other choices one way or the other. Not enough info yet. I'm waiting another week or two when info will start showing up on NFL.com (I'm assuming right after the Super Bowl) and checking other sites for any late updates.... and then, much will change again once the Combine is over... and change even more after pro days. For me, it's too early in the process... Sorry.... not trying to be evasive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Aaron Colvin will get drafted even after his ACL, same thing happened to Marcus Lattimore. Good comparison. Only difference is that Lattimore tore his knee up in October, not January. But I do think Colvin gets drafted. If he lasts til the 7th, I'd draft him rather than try to sign him as a UDFA.

Superman Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Shaquil Barrett, OLB Colorado State http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=120976&draftyear=2014&genpos=OLB Would be a decent sub Sam backer for us. Has some inside and outside pass rush moves, shows good spatial awareness when dropping into coverage, good size, displays a good get-off and good bend at times, gets into the backfield against the pass and the run, can set the edge. Limited athleticism in space and closing on ball carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCSGURU Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Lee Kurfis from Lehigh, will be a real gem of a pick up. He's a big strong fast kid that catches everything.

Banks818 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 One guy on that list that is really a sleeper is RB Barrington Scott out of Alabama a&m. The guy is a beast, really wreckless. He has great vision and get in and out of cuts very good. Really nice feet also. He went over 1000 with probably one of the youngest and most inexperienced offensive lines. He better than some of the top RBs. I hope to see him on Sundays. I guarantee he will be a shocker!Here are some of the guys who will probably be UDFA's that I like at the skill positions.
