[Cecil Lammey]

RB

Derrick Locke - quick, change of pace guy, gets to top speed in a hurry, can't pass block to save his life

John Clay - heavy footed plodder, needs to lose weight, little chance of producing in NFL

Graig Cooper - like his speed, looked good at Shrine Game, good feet

Noel Devine - strictly change of pace guy with big play ability, like him more than Locke.

Darren Evans - instincts, size, decent power, not quick or fast but can grind.

Armando Allen

Matt Asiata

Damien Berry - thought he was best RB at NFLPA Game (over Chad Spann), speed, instincts, vision

Shaun Draughn

Mario Fannin - saw him at NFLPA game :X not enough leg drive to be short yardage back, below avg instincts

Brandon Saine

Vai Taua

WR:

Ricardo Lockette - love his speed and ball tracking ability

Jamel Hamier

Darvin Adams

Terrence Tolliver - high potential because of his size/speed combination, inconsistency plagues his game

Dane Sanzenbacher - tough guy who can run a route and is fearless over the middle

Tori Gurley

Lestar Jean

Terrance Turner - saw him at Shrine Game, size is there, slow footed

Armon Binns - not a fan, sure he's big but he doesn't use his size to his advantage, poor route runner, shrine game was avg

DeAndre Brown

Mark Dell

Andre Holmes

Jeffrey Maehl - he can move and get upfield in a hurry

Joe Morgan

OJ Murdock

Jamar Newsome

Jock Sanders - saw him at both SR bowl and NFLPA game, deserves a shot, quick twitch athlete looked better than Devine.

Keith Smith

Owen Spencer

Marshall Williams

Jimmy Young

TE:

Weslye Saunders

Cameron Graham

Shuylar Oordt

Charlie Gantt

Preston Dial

Zack Pianalto

Allen Reisner

QB:

Patrick Devlin - saw him at Shrine, very poor performance, weak arm, holds ball too long, needs mechanics reworked

Scott Tolzien - tough kid, leader, could surprise some as career backup

Ryan Colburn - saw him at NFLPA game, very poor performance, accuracy problems, velocity problems

Jerrod Johnson - called him 'double clutch' at Shrine Game because he holds on to ball too long, threw a pass over the fence around the field (was supposed to be a sideline route), arm and athleticism is there but decision making, release, accuracy need BIG work

Joshua Portis - i'd give him a shot over every other QB on this list. saw him at NFLPA game, athletic, arm strength, leader, better accuracy than some think.

Jeff Van Camp

bolded some of my favorites listed.

 

[Cecil Lammey]

QB also undrafted

Taylor Potts - best Texas Tech QB, saw him at NFLPA game, decent arm, good release, high football intelligence

Adam Froman - a Waldman favorite, limited starting experience

Adam Weber - tough, athletic kid, needs to improve decision making, career backup

WR also undrafted

Courtney Smith - saw him at SR bowl, big but soft receiver, less talented version of Ramses Barden, doesn't have strong 'my ball' mentality.

Chris Matthews - saw him at NFLPA game, wowed on Monday, Tue/Wed were meh, big guy, runs decent routes, lets too many passes into his chest, less talented David Gettis

Jeremy Ross - great quickness, vision, elusiveness, run after the catch ability, he could make plays at the NFL level

that's pretty much it!

I think Dane Sanzenbacher is an intriguing guy to possibly pick up in deep dynasty leagues. He got a call from the Indianapolis Colts who told him they were planning on drafting him in the 6th or 7th round. It didn't end up happening, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's where he ends up. I think he's a better player than Blair White, so not crazy to think he could be their WR4 just one injury (from some injury-prone WRs) from being the #3 WR in that colts offense.

Amazed nobody every mentions Donald Buckram. This dude is under the radar. Over 2000 total yards in 2009 and a year ago he may have been at the top of some people's watch lists. Now he isn't even drafted or heard from...I think he still has the skills though. Surprising power for a little guy and his sub 4.4 speed translates on the field

 

[Donnybrook]

Nic Grigsby is a measurables freak of nature.

Obviously he lacks size but you would think that a team would pick him up at least to try him as a kick returner.

 

[cvnpoka]

sanzenbacher had pretty amzing combine numbers in the shuttle and 3-cone and was a very effective wr at tosu. he has great hands and they say he runs good routes. kinda surprised he didnt get drafted actually. guess it had to do with his size.

 

[Matt Waldman]

Derrick Locke

John Clay

Graig Cooper Once he recovers from knee.

Joshua Portis

Jeff Van Camp

Adam Froman

Derrick Locke and Mario Fannin were drafted by UFL teams. If the lockout was to end, prior to the end of the UFL season, NFL teams might not be able to sign them without paying some sort of release fee. If my understanding of the UFL rules are correct.

they would have to sign UFL contracts 1st before that came into playI know Herzlich is going to take his chances of catching on with NFL camp rather than sign with Nighthawks who drafted him

 

[Matt Waldman]

Spent a little over an hour talking on the phone with Greg Cosell of NFL Films yesterday. He has the opinion that the lockout has ruined the chance for undrafted players to have any shot in the league this year. I'm sure there will be some exceptions, however if you agree with Cosell that number is going to be a lot smaller than it usually is in a non-strike year.

seems to me like they would all just be better off signing with UFL teams, putting it on tape. If they are good enough to make a roster in NFL, then they should shine in the UFL. Training camp is going to be focused on prepping the guys that will be playing rather than finding those hidden gems

 

[Cecil Lammey]

I believe the UFL waived the 'transfer fee' this year, so that shouldn't be a problem (like it was last year for guys like Lorenzo Booker).
