UDFA tracker

[SeattleAddict]

Most notable to me is we signed the long snapper of the year, which means we got the best CB, the best WR, and award winners for best Center and best long snapper.

Notables:

Tyjon Lindsey is an interesting little get. He's sort of a Percy Harvin type.

He ran a 4.36 40 at his pro day. More of a gadget wideout who runs sweeps + gets the ball in space. Maybe a KR as well.

Cam Bright is ass.

Cooper adds some beef on the interior DL.

Tovai was a 1st or 2nd team All American in '22 at DL. He's only 6'0 so maybe he's Poona Ford like get?

Landers had a round 5 grade and ran a 4.37 at the combine. He ranked second in athletic metrics at wideout in the draft.

O'Connell put up big stats at Montana as a rushing LB.

Seems like a lot of guys w. good traits to contribute on special teams.

Brenton Cox Jr, if he didn't Eff-up would've been drafted in the 2nd to early 3rd round range. Now he's an UDFA and hasn't been selected yet. I mean if Pete and John are still interested in a rough prospect with lots of upside and no risk, this might be an interesting pick up. If the guy still wants to be an A-hole in camp then just release him back into the the FA pool.

Robert Cooper would be another good UDFA pick up at DT. Former 4-star recruit. I think the Hawks have had him up for a visit

I am happy to read the Hawks did pick up Patrick O'Connell. He could become a good special team player

I think LB Drake Thomas is still out there too. I believe the Hawks have had interest in him as well.

Rashad Torrence always caught my eye when watching his highlights. I don't know much about him, but he looks like a hard hitting downhill player. He's still available.

[Donn Beach]

Believe the issue with a guy like Cox is being put in the position of commiting to a roster spot. He could come unglued at any point during the season. He has done it twice now, is it really worth it

Tavai was great at SD State. He will be good depth on the practice squd. I think Landers has a shot making the team and fielding punts.

Dee Eskridge was a track star and conference special teams player of the year as a returner. As he's still under contract, the new kids could push him into a returner role, where he MIGHT actually be effective. I mean, you might not want your 2nd round pick returning kicks, but you would a guy that is on the verge of being cut. That's assuming he doesn't get hurt again.

I'd prefer if I never had to see DeeJay returning kicks and punts again.

Thinking...when you see "locker room" issues it's fighting isn't it? It's throwing a punch if you get upset. That's what gets you kicked out of a program. It's antisocial as well as dangerous
