OT Anderson:

Biography: Three-year starter at right tackle.

Positives: Large, strong offensive lineman who easily removes defenders from the action. Keeps his feet moving on contact, makes terrific use of body positioning and controls opponents once engaged at the point of attack. Displays good movement skills, can adjust to oncoming defenders and effectively stays square to keep the opponent in front of him. Effective with his hands, anchors at the point and is a smart lineman who keeps his head on a swivel.

Negatives: Overextends and lunges into blocks. Not a natural knee bender. Lacks fluid footwork in pass protection.

Analysis: Anderson has flown under the scouting radar for some time but is an impressive looking blocker who has flashed skill the past three seasons. He offers ability and NFL size which warrants a spot on a practice squad while he continues to develop his game.

Projection: FA

OL Matt Cleveland

Biography: Three-year starter at left tackle awarded all-conference honors as a senior.

Positives: College tackle who projects to guard in the NFL. Blocks with good lean, keeps his feet moving and anchors in pass protection. Stays square, makes good use of angles and effectively out-positions defenders from the play. Patient, works his hands and controls opponents at the point of attack. Keeps his head on a swivel. Possesses better than average footwork sliding out off the edge.

Negatives: Must improve his blocking balance. Struggles to finish blocks. Rumbles around the field and is ineffective blocking in motion.

Analysis: Cleveland was durable and productive on the college level yet has marginal physical skills and limited upside for the NFL. His pass protection skills could help him catch on as a backup weak-side guard.

C/G Gerhart

Biography: Three-year starter awarded all-conference honors as a senior. Primarily lined up at center but did spend time at guard early in his career.

Positives: Zone-blocking lineman with marginal athletic skills. Incredibly quick in all aspects, uses effective body positioning and seals defenders from the action. Intelligent and effectively quarterbacks the offensive line. Works to get a pad on defenders and knocks them from their angle of attack.

Negatives: Lacks the strength necessary to finish blocks. Struggles handling one-on-one blocking assignments.

Analysis: Gerhart was a solid college lineman, but he possesses marginal. He could be a reserve in a zone-blocking system based on his ability to play several interior positions.

OL Shugarts

Biography: Three-year starter at right tackle for Ohio State.

Positives: Large yet stiff college tackle who is best in a small area. Sets with a wide base, stays square and keeps the defender in front of him. Keeps his feet moving throughout the action, strong at the point and seals defenders from the play. Blocks with a nasty attitude. Works hard to bend his knees and anchors at the point of attack.

Negatives: Struggles to adjust and has great difficulty picking up stunts or blitzes thrown by opponents. Lacks quick, fluid footwork sliding out off the edge. Rumbles around the field and is ineffective blocking in motion.

Analysis: Shugarts has been durable and productive on the college level yet is a marginal athlete with limited upside for the next level. He could have a home as inexpensive backup at the tackle or guard position.

CB E.Davis

Biography: Four-year starter awarded all-conference honors after his senior and junior campaigns. Totals last year included 62 tackles/1 interception/7 pass breakups after he had 54/1/9 the prior year. Totaled a career-best 69 tackles as a sophomore.

Positives: Skilled cornerback coming off a disappointing senior season. Physical and aggressive, quick up the field to defend the run and works hard to get a hand in and deflect away passes.

Effectively reads receivers? eyes and gets his head back around to defend the pass. Solid footwork in reverse.

Negatives: Does not consistently take proper angles to the action. Displayed marginal instincts as a senior. Interception totals have decreased every season since his freshman campaign.

Analysis: Davis was highly rated coming into the 2011 season but played below expectations, and now questions have been raised about his next level ability. He possesses the size and speed for the NFL but must quickly elevate his game this summer.

Projection: 6th

CB/S Gipson

Biography: Four-year starter used at both cornerback and safety. All-conference selection as a senior with totals of 95 tackles/3 interceptions/5 pass breakups. Junior numbers included 40/3/9.

Positives: Solid college defensive back who flashed skill at Wyoming. Keeps the action in front of him, gets his teammates in proper position and shows ball skills. Follows receivers everywhere on the field. Has an explosive burst out of his plant and nice move to the throw. Flashes the ability to quickly peddle in reverse and can stay with receivers out of breaks.

Negatives: Inconsistent. Does not play with a sense of urgency. Seems to lose a sense of where he is on the field at times. Bites on ball fakes and blows assignments.

Analysis: Gipson made an immediate impact at Wyoming yet never truly elevated his game as most scouts thought possible. He offers a variety of skills and can be used in nickel or dime packages if he plays at a consistently high level and does well on special teams.

Projection: FA

S Bademosi

Biography: Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing significant action with the first team as a sophomore. Senior totals included 48 tackles and seven pass defenses after 40 tackles and four pass breakups the prior year.

Positives: Aggressive college defensive back who displays a feel for pass coverage. Quickly picks up assignments, stays with responsibilities and shows skill in zone. Mixes it up with opponents throughout the action, works to keep the play in front of him and gives effort tackling. Quick up the field defending the run.

Negatives: Lacks great ball skills. Marginal size and speed. Not a strong open-field tackler.

Analysis: Bademosi possesses minimal physical skills yet does not make mental mistakes on the field. He could line up in a zone system at the next level if he proves his worth on special teams.

Projection: FA

WR Reed

Biography: Senior totals included 29 receptions/403 yards/5 TDs after he had 58/614/2 as a junior. Totaled a career-best 60 receptions and 710 receiving yards during his sophomore season.

Positives: Usually reliable pass catcher coming off a disappointing senior campaign. Quick releasing off the line into pass routes, displays a burst of speed and easily makes the reception in stride. Always finds the clearing in underneath coverage, extends to make the reception away from his frame and displays strong hands with the ability to pull the fastball from the air. Effectively uses his frame to protect the pass and displays solid eye/hand coordination. Has a gliding style, easily changes direction and remains focused.

Negatives: Not a sturdy or strong receiver and loses out in battles. Does not show top end speed on the field. Never elevated his game after a terrific sophomore campaign.

Analysis: Reed looked like a star in the making after his sophomore season, but his play has fallen off since. He possesses all the skills necessary to be a fifth receiver in a variety of NFL systems if he gets his game back on track.

WR Saffold

Biography: Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing action with the first team for half of his sophomore season. All-conference selection after his senior and junior campaigns. Posted 45 receptions/913 yards/8 touchdowns last year, with an average of 20.3 yards per catch, after 53/869/5 the prior season.

Positives: Nice sized pass catcher with game breaking ability. Fluid releasing off the line, immediately gets to top speed and displays the ability to beat defenders down the sidelines. Sells routes, uses his frame to shield away opponents and consistently extends to make the reception away from his body. Adjusts to the errant throw and easily makes the downfield, over the shoulder reception. Comes back to the ball out of breaks, displays good eye/hand coordination as well as focus. Gives effort blocking, stays square and seals open the downfield running lanes.

Negatives: Possesses solid long speed yet does not show an elite burst. Possesses just average quickness in his game. Tends to round off routes. Not a receiver that takes the big hit then holds onto the ball.

Analysis: Saffold was a productive small school receiver that consistently displayed the ability to make big plays. He needs to fine-tune his game and improve his route running yet is a solid developmental prospect that should get consideration as a teams fifth receiver.

WR Cooper

Biography: Two-year starter who had 71 receptions/715 yards/3 TDs as a senior and 68/736/5 as a junior. Experienced return specialist.

Positives: Reliable pass catcher who plays a tough brand of football. Sells routes, works hard to come free and goes over the middle to make the difficult reception. Solid route runner who quickly gets into breaks and stays low on exit then positions himself to make the reception. Displays good awareness on the field and consistently finds the soft spot in the defense to make himself an available target. Solid underneath receiver who lays out or extends to make the difficult reception.

Negatives: Displays minimal quickness and speed in his game. Struggles battling larger defenders. Marginally effective running after the catch.

Analysis: Cooper is a slot receiver/return specialist and brings both toughness and intelligence. He has the skills necessary to make it as a fourth or fifth receiver and should stand out on both sides of special teams.

LB Sweat

Biography: Two-year starter who finished with 72 tackles and five tackles for loss as a senior after putting up junior totals of 41 tackles and three tackles for loss. Sidelined with a concussion during the late part of his senior campaign.

Positives: Hardworking linebacker who displays good instincts. Remains disciplined with assignments, is very aggressive and works hard to get involved in the action. Takes good angles to the play and flies around the field, working to be productive. Gets depth on pass drops.

Negatives: Despite his measurables, looks like an average athlete and shows minimal quickness in his game. Gets caught up in a traffic or easily blocked from the action. Lacks a great closing burst.

Analysis: Sweat was productive at Ohio State and offers the measurables to play on the weak side at the next level yet must really improve his play making ability in space.

It goes without saying, but if they are not better than Cousins they have no business being on a roster.

Sincerely,
Captain Obvious

that might be tougher for a rookie UDFA to prove though. he (I would think) at least has his assignments and terminology down pat. they have to do that AND then show they can apply it on the field too.

including our whole division from this list of 'most promising UDFAs'

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

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

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

Rookie first-rounder Brandon Weeden won't be the only QB in rookie minicamp Friday through Sunday. Free agent Darron Thomas (Oregon) will also participate. Thomas threw for 5,642 yards and 63 TDs for the Ducks the last two seasons.

---

Still not sure why Thomas left school early. I remember we brought Graham Harrell in in a similar situation after he was undrafted. Gotta have a guy around to keep Weeden from throwing 9,000 passes over the weekend.

I have seen 5 or 6 of our undrafteds on the best undrafted lists by various draft sites. We may have a few surprises make the roster. There are probably 15 roster spots or more that will be up for grabs.

Thomas is a very interesting prospect. Practice squad, groom him properly and who knows. I am pretty shocked that he wasn't drafted.

Agree, Thomas was my late round Qb choice if we didn't draft a qb with one of our 1st 3 picks. Of course the selection of Weeden rendered the drafting of a late round Qb moot.

I think our division picked up some really solid UDFAs...

Browns undrafted free agent LB Andrew Sweat has opted against pursuing an NFL career.
Sweat recently signed a three-year deal, but will apparently go to law school instead. Sweat suffered two concussions in four seasons at Ohio State. May 12 - 10:05 AM

Wow, who's ever heard of a UDFA getting a three year deal?

So looks like Maiava and acho are shoe-ins for the roster.

I think that UDFA's generally get 3 year deals, but very small signing bonuses and/or guarantees.

Just because their deal is for a maximum of 3 years doesn't mean they they will see even one.

I'm going to post this in here just because I thought that it was somewhat interesting about how we got Cooper.

OSU football: Brandon Weeden played middle man for Josh Cooper, Cleveland Browns | NewsOK.com
http://newsok.com/osu-football-brandon-w...6#ixzz1uUeG2LqA

By Gina Mizell | Published: May 9, 2012 8
STILLWATER — Josh Cooper was at his family's home in Mustang on April 28 watching the NFL Draft and hoping his name would be called in the late rounds.

Near the beginning of the seventh round, the former Oklahoma State receiver got a text message. It was from Brandon Weeden and contained a forwarded message from Cleveland Browns' general manager Tom Heckert that asked Weeden to try to convince Cooper to sign with the Browns if he did not get drafted.

“It was good news,” Cooper said. “That's kind of where I wanted to be if (Brandon) was going there, to have a familiar face. It was pretty much a done deal.”

This week, Cooper will join Weeden in Cleveland's rookie minicamp as both of their NFL journeys officially begin. Nine other former Cowboys are following similar paths as Cooper after going undrafted but agreeing to terms with an NFL team as a rookie free agent.

It's a road with virtually no guarantee. For every undrafted success story — New England Patriots receiver and OKC product Wes Welker and Houston Texans running back Arian Foster are current prominent examples — there are countless others who don't make it.

The uncertainty usually starts in the hours immediately following the draft, with a flurry of teams vying for the services of several players who did not have their name called.
But that wasn't true with Cooper. The Browns were the first team to contact him. Done and done.

“Once I signed with them, I'm sure everybody talks to each other and knows who's going where,” Cooper said. “It really wasn't anything for me. I talked to the team, and then I hung out with the family and had a good time that night. No frenzy at my house.”

And the Browns essentially used Weeden as the middle man in this deal. He was playing golf in Oklahoma City when Heckert first sent him the text he forwarded onto Cooper. Browns coach Pat Shurmur sent a message soon after. Then when Weeden didn't respond right away, Shurmur called and left a voicemail.

“I got a call from the head coach and the GM just kind of pushing me to do what I could to get (Cooper) on board,” Weeden said.

Cleveland's interest in Cooper stemmed from his extremely productive yet often underrated OSU career because he played alongside superstar Justin Blackmon. But Cooper was the perfect complement as an inside receiver and finished his career with the fifth-most catches (161) and eighth-most receiving yards (1,695) in school history.

Cooper was always considered a borderline NFL prospect, however, because he doesn't possess prototypical NFL size — his frame is 5-11 and 195 pounds — or blazing vertical speed. An injury that prevented him from working out at the NFL Combine in February didn't help his chances, either.

Yet Cooper, understandably around these parts, often draws comparisons to Welker because of his build and skill set as a slot receiver who runs sharp routes and has good hands. Even in switching from OSU's spread offense to Cleveland's West Coast system, Cooper doesn't see his role changing too much.

“You just have to find holes and you just have to create separation on your routes,” Cooper said. “It's the same concept. It's just a lot of different terminology.”

The Browns still have receivers Greg Little (61 catches, 709 yards, two touchdowns in 2011) and Josh Cribbs (41 catches, 518 yards, four touchdowns) on the roster and took Miami wide receiver Travis Benjamin in the fourth round of the draft. They also added Florida State's Bert Reed and Missouri State's Jermaine Saffold as rookie free agents.

What none of those receivers have, though, is already-established chemistry with Weeden built from five years together in the OSU program. The Indianapolis Colts used a similar strategy when they drafted Stanford tight end Coby Fleener and signed receiver Griff Whalen as a rookie free agent to give Andrew Luck two familiar pass-catchers.

“That's probably the toughest part is going up there and getting used to a quarterback, and I've already got that,” Cooper said. “Hopefully that gives me a step up and we can just go out and perform and do well.”

Said Weeden: “I've always said (Cooper's) one of my favorite guys to throw to, because you know he's going to run the right route, you know he's going to be in the right spot. I've always had a lot of comfort throwing to Josh.”

Thursday morning, Weeden fired balls to Cooper during a 30-minute throwing session at Boone Pickens Stadium. Out routes. In routes. Corner routes. This has been the theme every day since both players knew they would be going to Cleveland.

In some ways, that's where the similarities between Weeden's and Cooper's situation end. Weeden is preparing to be the Browns' franchise quarterback and will begin to settle into his new home of Cleveland. Cooper is just trying to make the team.

But in other ways, they'll still be connected. They'll continue to be throwing pals before and after workouts and help each other learn the offense.

Cooper is even going to live with Weeden and his wife, Melanie, during minicamp, since he hasn't even thought about getting his own place yet.

“I still gotta make the team,” Cooper said. “Once I do, I'll figure stuff out. I really don't know. I'm just thinking about camp right now, trying to get through it and perform well and stay healthy.”

That's the life of a rookie free agent.

But Weeden saw the Browns' interest in Cooper first-hand last weekend. And he believes he could be throwing to his fellow Cowboy in the NFL.

“He's been a great player for us and he's a good buddy,” Weeden said. “If he can work out and find a way to get on board with us, I think he's got a real chance to compete.

“I was extremely excited (when he signed with Cleveland), not only as a friend but for his career. He's got a chance to play in that league.”

Why Andrew Sweat stepped away from NFL dream
On Friday morning, Andrew Sweat awoke in Cleveland ready to start earning his way into the NFL.

He never made it to the field.

The former Ohio State linebacker bumped his head on the wall after slipping when he stepped out of the shower at the Browns team hotel in Middleburg Heights. As the minutes passed, the concussion symptoms that had plagued him on and off for months returned. After consulting with his family, he decided to step away from the game for good.

“It was a tough decision for me, but in a sense it wasn’t that tough,” Sweat said this morning.

Sweat sustained a concussion last fall before the Purdue game, which he said today was the third of his college career. He was cleared to play against Michigan but dislocated his elbow in practice. It’s something Sweat now believes may have been a blessing in disguise. He passed medical tests and played in the Gator Bowl loss to Florida, but wasn’t at full strength.

Before the NFL draft, Sweat said he was eager to pursue his dream of playing pro football and believed he had a good chance to be drafted. He wasn’t, and signed as a free agent with the Browns.

“I was actually rooming with (former Buckeyes teammate) J.B. (Shugarts) and was up an hour and a half before him,” Sweat said. “I showered and hit my head and didn’t think anything of it. A couple hours passed, and I was like, wow, this doesn’t feel right.”

He went to the Browns’ facility in nearby Berea and told team officials what had happened.

“I stayed inside for practice,” Sweat said. “I talked to my family and decided I’m going to step away. A lot of people think I didn’t even report, but I did. I was up there for two days.”

A three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, Sweat has been accepted to five law schools. He is also considering a job in medical sales.

“It was a tough decision, but I did do well in school and have other options,” Sweat said.

He said the Browns were supportive of his decision.

“It is tough because it’s definitely what I wanted to do, but taking a step back, I have to be selfish,” Sweat said. “I feel bad I gave the Browns my commitment. But I have to be selfish and take my health first.

“The Browns were a great organization. I loved all the coaches, everyone from the top down. But I just didn’t think it was fair to them and didn’t think it was fair to me to continue the way I felt.”

I hope things like this are taken into account when people are suing the NFL...

Sweat made a decision, and decided to give it up. No one is MAKING him play in the NFL.

People make choices, and need to live with them.

I thought people would be interested in knowing the details.

thanks for the lowdown, SaintDawg

And now we have, the rest, of the story.....In my best Paul Harvey imitation.

Sounds like the light came back on in Sweats head just after the lights went out...he likely reasoned, if I can't survive the shower room, how am I going to survive the football field....lol

All kidding aside...this is why football players should work toward a degree while in college...football will only take a young man so far in life. Once the football career is history, then what?

I wish Sweat nothing but the best.
