Official 2009 "Undrafted Free Agency" Thread

[Waldo]

Obiozor went to Texas A&M, not Texas. He's an intriguing guy. I saw that we had him in for a visit so I studied up and put him late in a couple of mocks I did.

A&M sucked last year. He didn't get to the QB too much. In their spring practices apparently he broke out and they thought they were going to have a dominant pass rusher on their hands. Didn't work out though during the season.

He does however have pretty good measurables:

6'4", 270
4.72 40
1.59 10
39.5" Vert
9'9" Long
4.43 SS
7.23 3C

Athletically he has to tools to make it.

Interesting. Seemed like he'd be worth a shot as an undrafted guy.

Ya that sucks. I liked that last paragraph about him willing to help the film guys unpack and pack up their gear before/after practice! LOL

Maybe the film dudes had some killer dope.

[Freak Out]

Maurice "Pig" Brown, S, Missouri (5-11, 205, )

Soooie!

[boiga]

Bedard really likes Darrel Blackman and dug up this youtube promo for him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsori...layer_embedded

He's better suited to RB, but Detroit signed him as an undrafted WR last year, only to release him after training camp.

He certainly looks like a good prospect. I wouldn't mind having some new blood at RB either.

[Gunakor]

I wouldn't mind having some new blood at RB either.

All we have at RB is new blood. Jackson and Wynn 2 years, Grant 1.5 years, Lumpkin 1 IR'd year. I think our guys can get better, and will get better, so I see no reason to look in a different direction. I like the guys we have at that position, top to bottom.

Pittsburgh Punter Adam Graessle (6-5, 215), Maryland Offensive Tackle Dane Randolf (6-5, 305), and Maryland DE Dean Mutahdi (6-3.5, 288) were signed to free agent contracts following the rookie camp.

We apparently have 81 guys on the roster now, which is one more than the limit. So somebody is about to get cut. Probably a punter, since 3 punters is a lot to bring to camp. Since they just signed Graessle, they're probably not going to turn around and cut him.
