The 8th round: Best undrafted free agent fits for each team

By Chad Reuter NFL Network

The announcement of the final selection of the 2012 NFL Draft, given the title of "Mr. Irrelevant," at Radio City Music Hall last Saturday night did not signal the end of teams' attempts to improve their rosters.

There is, in effect, an eighth round of the draft where teams compete for the best players that didn't hear their names called over the weekend.

Last year, several "after-thoughts" made a mark as rookies. Doug Baldwin led the Seahawks with 51 catches for 788 yards and four scores. Byron Bell started 12 games at tackle for the Panthers because of an injury to Jeff Otah. The Colts found a valuable contributor in safety Joe Lefeged (31 tackles, two INT, 578 kick return yards). New Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey tied for fifth in the league in scoring after nailing 32 field goals.

The following prospects received a call after the draft (or more likely during, when teams thought they might be available Saturday night) because their new team couldn't address a need position over the three-day event.

Look for a few to overcome their anonymity, a medical concern or other issue to not only make a team -- but also make a difference.

Arizona Cardinals: Zack Nash, OLB, Sacramento State -- Nash intrigued me during the Battle for the Rock all-star game as a high-motor, agile 3-4 rush linebacker prospect who will contribute behind Sam Acho and O'Brien Schofield.

Atlanta Falcons: James Rodgers, WR/KR, Oregon State -- Bringing the Rodgers brothers together again (Jacquizz was a fifth-round pick last year) isn't just a good story -- the Falcons need a kick and punt returner with the offseason departure of Eric Weems.

Baltimore Ravens: James Carmon, OT, Mississippi State -- Carmon was originally brought to Starkville to play defensive tackle, and was compared to new teammate Terrence Cody because of his size (6-foot-5 ½, 330 pounds) and junior college background. The Ravens will continue his education as an offensive tackle with the hopes he flourishes.



Buffalo Bills: Aaron Corp, QB, Richmond -- Ryan Fitzpatrick led the NFL with 23 interceptions last year, and only injuries kept Corp from starting ahead of Matt Barkley at USC. He has the talent to lead an offense effectively, even if his arm and medical reports did not wow scouts.

Carolina Panthers: Jared Green, WR, Southern -- The son of NFL Hall of Famer Darrell Green combines the size and speed to contribute as a kick returner right away, and might work himself into the receiver rotation in time.



Chicago Bears: James Brown, OT/G, Troy -- Scouts aren't sure about his ability to handle the transition to the next level, and aren't sure of his best position fit. But if you ask opposing defensive ends, they'll tell you he's tough to beat; look for him to earn playing time sooner than later.

Cincinnati Bengals: Vontaze Burfict, ILB, Arizona State -- Wherever Burfict signed, he would have been one of the most interesting UDFA acquisitions. If Burfict can stay in shape (and out of trouble) to maximize his talent, he'll make an impact on special teams and attempt to become a thumper in the middle of the defense.

Cleveland Browns: Emanuel Davis, CB, East Carolina -- The Browns didn't address their secondary during the draft, but picked up three draftable prospects in the tough Davis, athletic Antwuan Reed (Pittsburgh) and versatile corner/safety Tashaun Gipson (Wyoming).

Dallas Cowboys: Ronald Leary, G, Memphis -- The Cowboys are happy with veteran free-agent guards Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau, but surprisingly getting the long, athletic Leary after the draft met their need for competitive talent.

Denver Broncos: Coryell Judie, CB/KR, Texas A&M -- Fans were happy the team added Arizona State receiver Gerell Robinson to help Peyton Manning, but if Judie stays healthy he can be a more impactful player because of his return skills and potential as a nickel back for the Broncos.

Detroit Lions: Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State -- He isn't going to win the starting job over former No. 1 pick Matthew Stafford, and Shaun Hill is a solid backup quarterback. But Moore's just an intriguing story, and a player out to prove he can run an NFL offense. I'm not going to bet against him.



Green Bay Packers: Dale Moss, WR, South Dakota State -- Moss only made the switch from basketball to football for the Jackrabbits in his senior season. His size (6-3, 213) and athleticism (41-inch vertical) give him enough upside to land on the practice squad in 2012, or maybe as the last receiver on the 53-man if he shows enough in training camp.



Houston Texans: Hebron "Loni" Fangupo, NT, Brigham Young -- The Texans brought in a slew of solid undrafted free agents, but Fangupo should use his girth and relatively quick feet to play a number of snaps at nose tackle in Wade Phillips' 3-4 alignment.

Indianapolis Colts: Micah Pellerin, CB, Hampton -- Pellerin's six-foot, 194-pound frame is a welcome addition to the Colts as they try to get stronger at nearly every position on defense. The Southern Miss transfer is talented enough to compete for playing time at cornerback or safety.



Jacksonville Jaguars: Mike Brewster, C, Ohio State -- The Florida native was disappointed to go undrafted after starting 49 straight games for the Buckeyes, but he'll eventually get his chance to take over for veteran Brad Meester.

Kansas City Chiefs: Dexter Heyman, ILB, Louisville -- If veterans Brandon Siler and Jovan Belcher don't watch out, the second-team All-Big East pick will find a way on the field to take on blocks and play the run next to Derrick Johnson.

Miami Dolphins: Kelcie McCray, S, Arkansas State -- Cutting leading tackler Yeremiah Bell left an opening at safety; if former Arkansas State and Minnesota second-round pick Tyrell Johnson can't win the job, then maybe McCray will.

Minnesota Vikings: Dustin Waldron, G, Portland State -- The three-year starter at left tackle might get a chance to play inside for the Vikings, eventually pushing Geoff Schwartz or Joe Berger for a starting spot.

New England Patriots: Markus Zusevics, G, Iowa -- The Patriots signed Robert Gallery this year, but brought on Zusevics as a longer-term answer at guard because of his toughness. He went undrafted due to a pectoral injury suffered at the NFL Scouting Combine, so if he can spend a year on the physically unable to perform or injured reserve lists he might become a heavy contributor in 2013.

New Orleans Saints: Braylon Broughton, DE, TCU -- Broughton was never a full-time starter with the Horned Frogs, but the Saints saw enough potential in his play and exceptional pro day to pick him up as a formidable strong-side defensive end prospect.

New York Giants: Janzen Jackson, CB/S, McNeese State -- Despite his off-field issues and transfer from Tennessee, Jackson's agility and playmaking ability make him an intriguing defensive back prospect.

New York Jets: Donnie Fletcher, CB, Boston College -- The Jets' secondary is greatly lacking in depth and the tall, lean Fletcher hopes to step in at cornerback behind the similarly built Antonio Cromartie.



Oakland Raiders: Dominique Hamilton, DT, Missouri -- A powerful run-stopper inside, Hamilton should become the first tackle off the bench to spell Richard Seymour or Tommy Kelly this season.



Philadelphia Eagles: Chris Polk, RB, Washington -- Polk's medical concerns kept him from being drafted, but Pac-12 opponents will tell you that his powerful running was no mirage. He should prove a worthy change-up to LeSean McCoy.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Adrian Robinson, LB, Temple -- Before the season I said that Robinson would make a perfect Steelers linebacker. Now he'll get his shot to earn a roster spot as a strong edge player, as will Pitt DE/OLB Brandon Lindsey.



San Diego Chargers: Jason Barnes, WR, South Carolina -- He caught just 10 passes over the last two years, but his 6-foot-3, 208-pound frame and 4.5 speed give him a chance to be the next undrafted surprise receiver in the Chargers' receiving arsenal.

San Francisco 49ers: Matt Masifilo, DE, Stanford -- The team did not address its five-technique defensive end spot in the draft, so they signed four free agents to see who will stick. The Cardinal's honorable mention All-Pac 12 player has good length (34-inch arms) and strength (38 reps) to be a force on the edge.



Seattle Seahawks: Rishaw Johnson, G, California (Pa.) -- The transfer from Ole Miss is a long, athletic guard who can work his way up the depth chart if he gets stronger -- and proves the troubles that forced him to leave Oxford are behind him.

St. Louis Rams: Alex Hoffman-Ellis, OLB, Washington State -- A fair number of undrafted players could make the team this year, as new general manager Les Snead tries to turn over the roster. Look for Hoffman-Ellis to push for a starting job because of his strong tackling and instincts -- as well as the team's lack of bodies at the position.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Leonard Johnson, CB, Iowa State -- Johnson might not be the biggest or fastest corner, but his competitiveness give him a shot to stick and he could move up the ladder in the future if Aqib Talib continues his off-field troubles and Ronde Barber retires after 2012.

Tennessee Titans: William Vlachos, C, Alabama -- Alabama's stalwart pivot man fits an immediate need because of the age of veteran starting center Eugene Amato. Though not quite 6-1 and only an average athlete, Vlachos' strength and tenaciousness inside give him a chance to succeed. Another player to watch is USC DT DaJohn Harris, who dropped out of the draft due to a heart abnormality but has the clearance from doctors to play.

Washington Redskins: Chase Minnifield, CB, Virginia -- The team picked up two secondary prospects late in the draft, but the son of former NFL Pro Bowl corner Frank Minnifield is going to have a chip on his shoulder after going undrafted. His slight build and slow 40 time didn't impress scouts, but when healthy he didn't back down from challenges.
 
I was hoping to see WR Dale Moss land in a better situation then in Green Bay where it will be tough for him to climb the depth chart.

Yep, In addition to the wr's on their 53 last year they had to bump the ps contracts of Borel & Gurley to prevent poaching like what happened with Chastin West. Big hill to climb but he likely isn't ready anyways. Needs a year or two and green bay is a perfect spot to get trainingObviously the writer isn't real keyed in on NFL action

It's called Not For Long for a reason. Jones could be gone next season ($3.15M salary) along with Driver who will probably retire. He has a shot at being the #4 if things work out. It's really tough to tell what the Packers WR's will look like in 3 years since Cobb is the only one signed through 2014.

Anyone know the back story with Brandon Bolden? No world beater, but compared to some of the guys who've been signed he looks pretty good. Guessing he's got off-field problems, but haven't heard anything. Anyone got any info?

good question, I thought he was sort of flying under the radar as a BGE+ type of player...up until now forgot about him
 
Several of the opinions by Chad Reuter on the undrafted prospects seem to assume that they are going to make the team. While these are all quality PFAs, the reality is that many of them will be cut. His take seems overly optimistic.

That's the point of the article.Best-case scenario.
 
i think it is good to go to a team like gb when you are a wr because the competition will make you stronger and then you will learn and get awesome and kick butts and dominate like the dominator on storm chasers for years to come and when people ask you how you did it you will say through desire and learning from the best around and that you never regret it for a second look at rogers he sat and learned and now he is awesome same thing with steve young and tom brady and others before them so take that to the bank and that is one to grow on from the old swcer my fellow brohans from america

 
Each NFL team’s most promising undrafted free agent

Chris Burke on the NFL

As soon as the NFL Draft ends, teams make a beeline to the phones in an effort to scoop up undrafted free agents — one more avenue coaching staffs go down to find talent.

Every year, dozens of players never make the cut. Still, you can always look at James Harrison, Tony Romo and Antonio Gates (all stars who slipped through the draft), among others. So, who might the diamonds in the rough be this year?

Arizona Cardinals — Blake DeChristopher, G, Virginia Tech: DeChristopher started for four years at Virginia Tech, but his short arms and average speed means he’ll likely have to move from tackle (where he started 14 games in 2011) to guard. Arizona drafted Senio Kelemete as an interior lineman, so DeChristopher faces an uphill battle, but he’s experienced and plays hard. Others to watch: Conrad Obi, DE, Colorado; Paul Vassallo, LB, Arizona

Atlanta Falcons — James Rodgers, RB/KR, Oregon State: Because of the presence of his brother, Jacquizz, behind Michael Turner and Jason Snelling, the Falcons don’t really need another running back. What they are lacking, however, is a kick returner. The younger Rodgers averaged 28.7 yards per kick return in 2010 prior to a string of injuries. Others to watch: Max Gruder, LB, Pittsburgh; Louis Nzegwu, DE, Wisconsin

Baltimore Ravens — Nicolas Jean-Baptiste, DT, Baylor: About 900 pounds worth of interior D-linemen stand between Jean-Baptiste and a roster spot — Baltimore drafted DeAngelo Tyler (Round 7), re-signed Maake Kemoeatu and added Ryan McBean (who has a six-game suspension to start 2012). Jean-Baptiste is a space-eater and a natural 3-4 nose tackle. McBean’s absence may open the door. Others to watch: Charles Brown, CB, North Carolina; Chyl Quarles, S, Wake Forest

Buffalo Bills — Delano Howell, SS, Stanford: The Bills could use some depth at safety and Howell, a three-year starter for Stanford, might help. He’s not going to step in and be a Pro Bowler, but he has the size to step up and defend in the box. Others to watch: Aaron Corp, QB, Richmond; Garrick Williams, LB, Texas A&M

Carolina Panthers — Matt Reynolds, T, BYU: Reynolds’ fall out of the draft surprised quite a few people, even though the lineman will turn 26 soon. Carolina may slide Reynolds inside, but his four years of experience and terrific work ethic will earn him every opportunity to claim a roster spot. Others to watch: Jared Green, WR, Southern; Ryan Van Bergen, DE, Michigan

Chicago Bears — James Brown, T, Troy: According to ESPN’s Mel Kiper, Brown was the 54th-best prospect in the draft. He’s an aggressive blocker who should only get bigger and stronger. Given some time, Brown might be Chicago’s replacement for J’Marcus Webb at left tackle. Others to watch: Ronnie Cameron, DT, Old Dominion; Adrien Cole, LB, Louisiana Tech

Cincinnati Bengals — Rodney Stewart, RB/KR, Colorado: He had a huge year in 2010, rushing for 1,318 yards on 290 carries. He followed that up by posting 45 catches and more than 1,400 total yards in 2011. Stewart is smallish and has injury concerns, but the Bengals are far from set at running back. Others to watch: Vontaze Burfict, LB, Arizona State; Landon Walker, T, Clemson

Cleveland Browns — Tashaun Gipson, CB/S, Wyoming: Gipson started 41 games at corner, then slid to free safety to close his senior year. His versatility could help him stick in Cleveland, and he at one point looked like a mid-round prospect. Others to watch: Emanuel Davis, CB, East Carolina; Antwaun Reed, CB, Pittsburgh

Dallas Cowboys — Jeff Adams, T, Columbia: Adams stands 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds, so with a little bulking up, he could be an ideal left tackle candidate. He had a solid week at the East-West Shrine Game, too. The change in competition level will be one of his biggest challenges. Others to watch: Adrian Hamilton, OLB/DE, Prairie View A&M; Darrell Scott, RB, South Florida

Denver Broncos — Gerrell Robinson, WR, Arizona State: Robinson won’t necessarily jump off the screen when you watch his tape, but he was as productive as anyone last year, with 77 catches for 1,397 yards, plus a 241-yard showing vs. Boise State in the MAACO Bowl. He’s 6-3 with a 78-inch wingspan and won’t hesitate going over the middle. Think Peyton Manning can use a guy like that? Others to watch: Duke Ihenacho, SS, San Jose State; Coryell Judie, CB, Texas A&M

Detroit Lions — Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State: As far as players contributing in 2012, using Moore is the doomsday scenario for Detroit, because it would mean injuries to Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill. This could be a great fit, though, if Moore develops as a backup. Others to watch: Rodney Austin, G, Elon; Patrick Edwards, WR, Houston

Green Bay Packers — Don Barclay, G/T, West Virginia: Perhaps not surprisingly, the Packers added several offensive linemen in their UDFA class. Barclay might have the best outlook of any of them — he played left tackle in college but likely sets up for a slide inside in the NFL. Packers fans would love his motor. Others to watch: Jaymes Brooks, G/C, Virginia Tech; Dale Moss, WR, South Dakota State

Houston Texans — Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina: Jones told a Houston radio station that he was “the next Andre Johnson.” Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but the 6-3 Jones, like Johnson, does have good size and can go over top of defenders for catches. He has to get much, much better as a route-runner to make an impact. Others to watch: Shawn Loiseau, LB, Merrimack; Logan Brock, TE, TCU

Indianapolis Colts — Antonio Fenelus, CB, Wisconsin: The Colts added several DBs after the draft, including Fenelus, who plays bigger than his 5-8 3/8 size and posted a 4.51 40 time at Wisconsin’s Pro Day. He may never be a great one-on-one corner, but he can contribute on special teams and nickel packages. Others to watch: Steven Baker, T, East Carolina; Cameron Chism, CB, Maryland

Jacksonville Jaguars — Mike Brewster, C, Ohio State: Brewster started 49 straight games for Ohio State, so it’s a little surprising that he didn’t hear his name called at Radio City. He isn’t as refined as you might expect from someone with that kind of experience, but he won’t back away from anyone. Others to watch: Jarrett Boykin, WR, Virginia Tech; Julian Stanford, OLB/DE, Memphis

Kansas City Chiefs — Neiko Thorpe, CB/S, Auburn: The Chiefs need safeties, so Thorpe and Tysyn Hartman will get their cracks. There are questions about Thorpe’s character, and he can get lost on film, but he also had 102 tackles in 2011 playing an SEC schedule. That’s gotta count for something. Others to watch: Dexter Heyman, LB, Louisville; Cam Holland, G/C, North Carolina

Miami Dolphins — Jeff Fuller, WR, Texas A&M: Don’t believe me about Fuller’s potential? Maybe you’ll listen to Peter King, who wrote this week that Fuller is “absolutely an NFL-caliber receiver” if he can solve his issues with drops. Oh, and Fuller was Ryan Tannehill’s top option at A&M. Others to watch: Kelcie McCray, S, Arkansas State; Kevyn Scott, CB, Syracuse

Minnesota Vikings — Tyler Nielsen, LB, Iowa: I’m always in favor of teams adding Iowa players because, for the most part, they play smart and hard. Nielsen fits the mold as a scrappy linebacker, who could lend support to Minnesota inside and out. Others to watch: Chase Baker, DT, Boise State; Quentin Saulsberry, C/G, Mississippi State

New England Patriots — Brandon Bolden, RB, Ole Miss: The Patriots signed BenJarvus Green-Ellis as an undrafted player out of Mississippi in 2008, and that paid off well. Bolden could be their next find — he runs hard and can go between the tackles, though injury and character concerns follow him. Others to watch: Marcus Forsten, DT, Miami; Markus Zusevics, G/T, Iowa

New Orleans Saints — Johnny Thomas, S, Oklahoma State: Thomas is an athletic player who could slot in at either free safety or strong safety, so he’s of value for the Saints given Roman Harper’s and Malcolm Jenkins’ inconsistencies. He’s not a great tackler, but he will make some plays. Others to watch: Braylon Broughton, DE, TCU; A.J. Davis, CB, Jacksonville State

New York Giants — Joe Martinek, FB/RB, Rutgers: This is one of the more intriguing UDFA connections in my book, with a local boy heading over to the Meadowlands. Martinek is an overachiever, all-heart type of guy who will do whatever he’s asked. Don’t be surprised if he somehow finds his way onto the Giants’ roster. Others to watch: Janzen Jackson, CB, McNeese State; Julian Talley, WR, Massachusetts

New York Jets — Marcus Dowtin, LB, North Alabama: Dowtin was en route to a stellar career at Georgia before he was charged with second-degree assault and released from his scholarship. He was dominant at D-II North Alabama and, if he has put his off-field issues behind him, has a chance to contribute to an NFL defense. Others to watch: Brian Linthicum, TE, Michigan State; D’Anton Lynn, CB, Penn State

Oakland Raiders — Derek Carrier, WR, Beloit (Wis.): It’s a long jump from Division III to the NFL, but the 6-3, extremely athletic Carrier could make it. He ran a 4.51 40 and put up a 38-inch vertical leap at Wisconsin’s Pro Day. It’s possible Oakland gives him a shot at tight end, where he’d be a very difficult matchup for linebackers and safeties. Others to watch: Kaelin Burnett, DE/OLB, Nevada; Lucas Nix, G/T, Pittsburgh

Philadelphia Eagles — Chris Polk, RB, Washington: One of the no-brainers on this list, Polk plummeted from a potential Day 2 pick to out of the draft, as rumors of a degenerative hip injury swirled (Polk denied them). Polk did have a shoulder injury in 2011, but still rushed for more than 1,400 yards and put up 4,000-plus yards in his career. He’s also a terrific receiver out of the backfield. Others to watch: Aaron Pflugrad, WR, Arizona State; Philip Thomas, S, Syracuse

Pittsburgh Steelers — Brandon Lindsey, DE/OLB, Pittsburgh: Lindsey played his collegiate home games at Heinz Field, so this should be a comfortable transition for him. He doesn’t do a ton of things well, but he can get to the quarterback, which makes him a nice fit for the Steelers’ 3-4. Others to watch: Robert Golden, CB, Arizona; Marquis Maze, RB/WR, Alabama

San Diego Chargers — Christian Tupou, DT, USC: He had a bad combine, but he’s one of those guys who comes off better in games than on the practice field. Tupou, 6-2 and 289 pounds, might be hard-pressed to play nose tackle in the NFL, and yet, he could add depth at multiple spots. Others to watch: Sean Cattouse, S, Cal; Philip Payne, WR, UNLV

San Francisco 49ers — Chris Owusu, WR, Stanford: In Owusu, the 49ers are getting a wide receiver with explosive, big-play potential (4.33 40, 40 1/2-inch vertical), but also one who suffered three concussions in a 13-month span. If Owusu can stay healthy, he could be a terrific addition. Others to watch: Joe Holland, LB, Purdue; Matt Masifilo, DE/DT, Stanford

Seattle Seahawks — Jermaine Kearse, WR, Washington: We’re kind of on a run of guys catching on with their local teams. Seattle fans ought to be well-aware of Kearse after a strong career at Washington. He has good size and will go over the middle — valuable traits for a team searching for WR help. Others to watch: Rishaw Johnson, G, California (Pa.); DeShawn Shead, DE, Portland State

St. Louis Rams — Matt Daniels, S, Duke: Daniels won’t wow anyone in one-on-one coverage, but he is very sturdy against the run and is the type of guy coaches like to have in the locker room. Others to watch: Alex Hoffman-Ellis, LB, Washington State; Joe Long, OT, Wayne State (Mich.)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Leonard Johnson, CB, Iowa State: Johnson was a four-year starter in the Big 12, so he saw more than his fair share of NFL-quality receivers. That experience, combined with Johnson’s ability to locate and drive on the ball, could have him playing in Tampa Bay’s nickel package early. Others to watch: Bradley Sowell, T, Ole Miss; Quenton Washington, CB, South Florida

Tennessee Titans – DaJohn Harris, DT, USC: I love this pickup for the Titans. Harris was inconsistent at USC, but in small spurts showed off some serious upside. If the Titans put him on the field a few snaps a game, they might find something here. Others to watch: George Bias, G/T, Stephen F. Austin; William Vlachos, C, Alabama

Washington Redskins — Lance Lewis, WR, East Carolina: The Redskins added a ton of receivers this offseason, so it’s hard to find a spot for an inconsistent undrafted guy like Lewis. The ex-East Carolina star will open some eyes this summer, though, because he has good size and will make some exciting plays. Others to watch: D.J. Holt, LB, Cal; Chase Minnifield, CB, Virginia
 
Yes, the Saints need help at DT and someone at DE who can actually sack the QB (ironic, no?) but...

The Saints signed Travaris Cadet from Appalachian State and actually paid him a $30K roster bonus even though he was undrafted (he was “recruited” by the Pats, 9ers, and Cowboys). He may be a Percy Harvin type who could make the team as a WR, RB or kick returner (could maybe spell Sproles). Yes, the Saints are loaded at WR & RB and even at KR (Sproles/Sproles) but keep an eye out for this guy.

If Driver retires then there's a decent shot Moss makes the team. The Packers will likely carry 5 WR's and four are already locks (Jennings, Nelson, Cobb and Jones). That leaves a camp battle vs. Tori Gurley, which based on Moss' athleticism I think he can win.
