There is one more round big deal.

[X-Era]

Thanks for doing this!!!

[BillsWin]

I predict we sign a punter or kicker of some sort.

[DrGraves]

Graham Harrell. We are going to run a 5 wide every snap with T.O. Evans Reed Nelson Johnson. Championship! Peace Trent.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

I think we should grab Captain Munnerlyn (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2009/draft/players/54272.html)
Just cause his name is weird
and hes a CB and hey we need at least 15 CBs every year

plus he was a 3rd rnd projectin and as of late 6 is still available

[DrGraves]

kevin kelly - K PSU

[X-Era]

Graham Harrell. We are going to run a 5 wide every snap with T.O. Evans Reed Nelson Johnson. Championship! Peace Trent.

I would love to land Harrell, Hoyer, or even Willy in round 7.

[Oaf]

Round 7 should be a big body at DT or at FB. Even if we still attest that we don't use a FB often, drafting one here could mean another day 1 starter.

Any DE drafted at round 7 IMO won't beat out Bryan and same case at OT/Bell. We need another big guy so DT and FB make the most sense IMO. Take your best UDFA prospect at either of those positions.

[BillsWin]

DT, DT, DT oh please draft a DT!!! :D

[Jan Reimers]

DT, DT, DT oh please draft a DT!!! :D
In round 7, he may not be a game changer.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

In round 7, he may not be a game changer.

In Round 7 he may not be a LIGHT BULB CHANGER :)

[psubills62]

I really hope they sign Mitch King. The guy would be good competition at LDE.

[X-Era]

After watching this for so many years I think I can safely say we wont hear much on the UDFA's for a few days. We can probably have most of our list by Wed.

[ILOVEMIBILLS]

Actually, we know some UDFA signings minutes after the draft. The full list isn't released until a few days later, but in the interim, we do learn of several additions.

Where is that best of the UDFA list that we see this time after the draft....

[ILOVEMIBILLS]

I hope your right and Im wrong.

Already two known signings:

LS Mark Estermyer (Pitt) to Pittsburgh

WR Eric Peterman (Northwestern) to Chicago

I know; I was just giving examples, though, of how we know signings very quickly.

[Don't Panic]

Hopefully we're givng Gerald cadogan from Penn State a call... all-Big Ten tackle who went undrafted with a 3rd/4th round grade (acadmeic all-american too).

[psubills62]

Unfortunately, it looks like Maurice Evans went to the Giants. But with the DL they have, it's not too likely an undrafted FA will make the team, imo.

If true he is a DT.

[psubills62]

If true he is a DT.

Yeah, it looks like you're right. I based my initial estimate on a report that said his weight is 276 lbs. Other sites have him at about 293. He could be similar to Spencer Johnson - I wouldn't be surprised if he's asked to lose a little weight and compete at LDE.

[psubills62]

Looks like they also signed:

OT Joel Bell (Furman)
LB Orion Martin (Virginia Tech)


According to:

http://www.nepatriotsdraft.com/2009/04/2009-undrafted-free-agent-signings-list.html

Also, the Titans signed Mitch King for those interested.

[psubills62]

Not your fault man...I read the same thing at KFFL, and then I hit refresh a few times, and all of a sudden it was gone. I scrolled up and now it said the Dolphins got him

Yes a TE.

[psubills62]

Haha, I think you're right. I'm just going straight off of this website:

http://www.nepatriotsdraft.com/2009/04/2009-undrafted-free-agent-signings-list.html

Which changed it from WR to TE while I was away from the computer, apparently. Although one place did say FB...who knows. If he's on as a TE, he's just a camp body. If he's a FB, he could be competing for a roster spot.

[BillsWin]

Someone on bb.com reported (without a link) that the Bills signed UDFA David Lindquist, from Illinois. He's a DE.

McCall played a blocking tight end for Alabama. I guessing the Bills may have visions of converting him to a fulback. With that kind of size he would be like a road grader coming at you, or a Sherman tank.

[Bert102176]

I don't trust Lindell so I'm all for that and he adds to the PSU connection

id like to bring in PJ Hill if hes still available.

[Mr. Pink]

I was saying McCall as a 7th round pick in the Tight End thread Miyagi started earlier...

The dude is huge and basically adds an extra tackle to the line in short yardage and goalline situations.

[Jan Reimers]

Grader. You grade (level) roads. You grate (shred) cheese.

Travis McCall is rated as the 3rd best FB (and a 3 star guy along with Fiametta and Q. Johnson) by Scout.com. Great pick up.

He would be a great grader/grater.

[Tatonka]

Gerald Washington is the other defensive lineman of the Trojans, who is eligible to be drafted. Washington is an interesting prospect. The former tight-end switched to the defensive end position a couple seasons ago, and, while he rarely played and never did much on the field, is one of those physical specimens (6’6,” 255 lbs) that could translate to the next level. If Antonio Gates can have success at the pro level, why can't Gerald Washington? While it is doubtful that Washington will be drafted, don’t be surprised if a team takes a flyer on him and picks him up as an undrafted free-agent.

http://www.examiner.com/x-5385-USC-Trojans-Examiner~y2009m3d13-NFL-Draft-impact-USC-best-of-the-rest

[Tatonka]

they also mention one of our late picks in that article.


From the defensive backfield, Trojans CB Cary Harris is one player to watch closely. Starting the last two seasons at cornerback for the Trojans, Harris has the good size (6’0,” 187 lbs) and the instincts to be a decent corner at the next level. After a senior season in which he posted 38 tackles (4 tackles for a loss), 3 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 6 passes broken up, as well as receiving a 2008 All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention, Harris has done enough to get drafted into the NFL.

Where he will go is the big question? Harris’ time of 4.66 seconds in the 40 yard drill at the combine was not all that impressive, but he has done enough over the past two years to garner some interest. A 5th round projection for Cary Harris would not be unreasonable.

[Romes]

He would be a great grader/grater.

so...which is greater a grader or a grater? :idunno:

Here's some info on OT Joel Bell from nfldraftcountdown:

Strengths:
Excellent size with a large frame...Long arms and big hands...Terrific athlete...Nimble feet...Decent strength...Mobile with a lot of range...A great motor...Hard worker...Team Leader...Experienced...Has upside.

Weaknesses:
Did not face top competition...Isn't real powerful...Doesn't always play with proper leverage...Doesn't get a great push in the run game...Not very stout at the point...Needs technique work...Durability concerns ?

Notes:
Was a three-year starter for the Paladins...Parents are missionaries and moved to Egypt in 1990 then to Croatia in 1993 before returning to the United States alone in 2001...Also participated in track and field in college...Redshirted in 2004...Saw action in 8 games with one start in 2005...Started all 12 games and was named 2nd Team All-SoCon in 2006...Started 11 games at left tackle and was a consensus 1st Team All-SoCon selection...Concensus 1st Team All-SoCon again as a senior and also garnered FCS All-American honors..Small school sleeper who isn't a finished product but definitely has some exciting physical tools.

Thank goodness that he won't be making the team. All you have to do is look at the Rose Bowl this past year to see how awful the PSU secondary was. Although I guess he'd be a perfect fit for the Bills - all USC did was throw short outs, and PSU never stopped them because they never even attempted to press.

There's several other PSU players I wish they had gotten, like Gerald Cadogan, Rich Ohrnberger, Deon Butler, etc. None of the secondary from PSU is worth a roster spot.

"Overview: VERY intriguing small-school prospect
Strengths: Great size and size-speed ratio. Dominant junior campaign. Shows good hands and body control.
Weaknesses: Disappointing senior season. Did his damage against a very low level of competition. Didn't return punts or kicks."

In his junior year, he had 73 receptions, 1258 yards and 21 TD's. His senior year, had 49 receptions for 605 yards and 5 TD's.

Unconfirmed, but it sounds like we also brought in Nick Marshman, from VT. I think his measurables are 6'5" and about 345 pounds, at OG. Big guy.

Is it just me or are they really overloading on the OL-men in camp? We've got like 20 OL players.

Man, this is a good highlight video of the DB Tyrrell Herbert:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auQFtNSrkVE

It's only a highlight video, so take it with a grain of salt. But the guy looks like he's got good instincts and very good closing speed.

I think my favorite part in that video was around 4:16, where he goes to tackle a guy on a screen pass, and takes out two linemen AND the ball carrier at the same time. Hahaha

He honestly looks pretty good, and quite a ballhawk. I love how we're bringing in guys who might actually make a difference in the secondary by hauling in INT's.
