dawhizz Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 A little premature since the 6th is just starting. Should be plenty more Division II players available though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradjock Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Chad Kelly if nobody drafts him. I agree, but with UDFA's, those players look for destinations where they have a chance to contribute. Or at least make the team. If he doesn't get drafted, he'll be the top UDFA QB available. Chicago is currently heavily invested in the QB position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 It will be interesting to see which UDFAs theBesrs coached at the Senior Bowl and if that gives them any kind of advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 It will be interesting to see which UDFAs theBesrs coached at the Senior Bowl and if that gives them any kind of advantage. Here is who I would like to see us sign. Lorenzo Jerome/FS we coached him at the Senior Bowl and is a smallish playmaker Avery Genesey/OT has a lot of upside K. D. Cannon, speed speed speed Jarron Jones/5T a big guy on a team that needs some depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Here is a new update -WR Travis Rudolph -OT Eric Magnuson -CB Jeremy Cutrer -CB Ezra Robinson -S Lorenzo Jerome -P/K Austin Rehkow We got Jerome and he will be one of our 53 at the begining of the season Rehkow could end up being our P and K Magnuson was rated to be a mid round pick.

Connorbear Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 He is also 27. Pretty interesting article on him. He was on the USA SKI team. The age really doesn't bother me. As a kicker, he could go until his 40s. I'm simply hoping they find someone, anyone, to replace Barth. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 UDFA's so far: 1. Rashaad Coward, NT, ODU 2. Dieugot Joseph, OL, FIU 3. Tanner Gentry, WR, WYU 4. Freddie Stevenson, FB, FSU 5. Franko House, TE, Ball St. 6. Joel Bouagnon, RB, NIU 7. Mitchell Kursh, OL, JMU 8. Jhajuan Seales, WR, OK ST 9. Andy Phillips, K, Utah 10. Desean Smith, TE, LSU Mark Spelman (OL) signed to a rookie tryout From what I can find on these players Rashaad Coward NT: Meh not strong enough to be a NT, not enough length to be DE. He has good movement skills if he can add strength maybe he'll get a shot. I don't think he makes the practice squad Dieugot Joseph OL: We might have something here. He looks to have the raw skills needed for the position. A year or two on the practice squad and we'll see. Tanner Gentry WR: I see him as having skills similar to Bellamy, less athletic but with better hands (that's a low bar). He might compete for a spot on the practice squad but he's not very quick in his cuts and at the NFL level that's a problem. Freddie Stevenson FB: He has a shot to make the final roster if he can improve some things. He's more versatile than you might expect with his ability to run and catch. He always blocks high and at the NFL level he'll get blown up by LBs if he doesn't improve that. He seems disinterested on the field at times, somewhat going through the motions. It'll be interesting to see how he does in training camp. Franko House TE: Great name for a football player, or as a wise guy, not so great skills. Joel Bouagnon, RB: Average skills but he's a good football player. Watch his game against Ohio State in 2015. He's going against a lot of NFL players on their defense and he played well overall. http://draftbreakdown.com/video/joel-bouag...hio-state-2015/ Mitchell Kirsh, OT: Love this pickup. If you like seeing players get tossed off the screen (literally), or seeing pancake blocks then watch his highlights. Reportedly the Bears want to move him inside but it seems to me he moves well enough to stay at RT. https://sports.yahoo.com/news/kirsch-signs-...-001611214.html Jhajuan Seales, WR: I like this kid, more athletic than Gentry, and it seems to me he was worthy of a day 3 pick. Which makes me wonder why he's a UDFA. He only had 37 rec last year but with 615yds. All I can find are highlights so there's no way to know what the low lights are (i.e. too many drops, bad routes), or if there are character or injury concerns. If he can grasp the playbook and handle special teams coverages I could see him challenge for a final roster spot. That's probably a big ask but he should have a good shot at the practice squad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-jJXH-Xd-s Kicker? meh Desean Smith, TE can't find anything Mark Spelman (OL) At 280lbs he needs a lot of work to play in the NFL. He plays with a aggressive attitude and has good movement, just don't see it happening. ------------------------------------------------------ Among this group I really like Seales and Kirsh, followed by Bouagnon, Stevenson, and then maybe Dieugot as a long term prospect. We signed two guys named Mitchell in one offseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
