Official 2015 UDFA Thread

[Maxie the Taxi]

Here's a great article on Blake Sims: http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2...letter_to.html

Sims is a class act...in the mold of Russell Wilson. I wish him well when he tries out for the Pack.

When the Packers drafted Brian Brohm I predicted Matt Flynn would give him a run for his money. Dare I say the same thing about Sims with regard to Hundley? Sims set several passing records at Alabama. He excels at Lane Kiffen's brand of pro-style, fast-paced offense. He's fast, athletic, has a great arm, is difficult to sack and is a great runner as well. I wouldn't sell him short.

Honestly, from what I've seen of Brett Hundley's game, there is more to like in Sims'.

If there were no psychological aspect to sports, I'm taking Hundley. That said, we know that there is. Sims beams confidence. We'll see...

You gotta see this catch by Javess Blue one of the Packer UDFA's:

And I think that might've even been a catch in the NFL, ball didn't touch the ground until he was out of bounds...Not sure though. I don't think anyone is, really.

Coleman beamed confidence too.

so did Aaron Rodgers

I agree with you Maxie. At the very least this is going to be an awesome experiment.

The guy with the limitless physical tools vs the guy who is already a winner.

2014 - Possession with Intent to Sell

Possession of guns, with intent to sell

[HarveyWallbangers]

Reading McGinn's story on the UDFAs, I think Dantzler, Crockett, Collins, and Pinkard are the most intriguing to me.

This seems awful:

Measurables: 6-3, 252, 4.76. Vertical jump of 28½, broad jump of 9-0, 12 reps on the bench and Wonderlic of 9. Arms were 32 5/8, hands were 9.

for an OLB. JERMAURIA RASCO, OLB, Louisiana State

[pbmax]

As does this: Measurables: 6-2, 248, 4.87. Vertical jump of 32½, broad jump of 9-4, a phenomenal 35 reps on the bench and Wonderlic of 25. Arms were 32 1/8, hands were 9¼.

for JAMES VAUGHTERS, OLB, Stanford


Are they both going to be ILBs?

[3irty1]

Rasco had a nice day rushing the passer at the East West Shrine game. I doubt he's got ILB ability.

Vaugthers is more interesting. He has played outside and inside and he actually kind of dominated. PFF loves him:

From what I've been able to gather it sounds like he bombed the positional drills. His game is all power, hands, and motor. Think Erik Walden with a Stanford education. I'm thinking its a good special teams skillset but there is some interesting upside too.

These guys, would make excellent UDFAs

The Packers had agreed to a contract with another undrafted rookie back as well, Malcolm Agnew of Southern Illinois

Same article as above post,

Crockett said about 20 teams tried to sign him after the draft, and he chose the Packers over Oakland, Baltimore, Atlanta, Washington and Cincinnati.

"(The Packers) called around the sixth round, they said if they were looking at a back they were going to take me," he said. "But at the end of the day, they still showed they had that interest."

So they liked Ripkowski more than him?
