DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk 2025 NFL Draft UDFA Thread

I'd expect us to sign a lot of guys at positions we didnt address in the draft (WR, OL, Secondary)

Yep, and the FO can start calling player’s agents (to offer if they don’t get drafted) since their draft is done.

Guys I like as UDFA

TezJohnson Wr Oregon
Xavier Restrepo Wr miami

CJ Dippre TE Alabama
Luke Lachey TE Iowa
Jake Briningstool TE Clemson

LaQuint Allen Rb Syracuse
Donovan Edwards Rb Michigan
Raheim Sanders Rb South Carolina

Mitch Richmond LT Iowa

Chandler Martin Lb Memphis

Jared Ivy Edge Mississippi

Nazeer Stackhouse FT Georgia

Zy Alexander Cb LSU
Cobee Bryant Cb Kansas

Willie Lampkin C UNC

I'm with you on Restrepo, Ivey and Lampkin.

Others I like:

Jah Joyner DE
Nick Nash WR
Maxen Hook - S
Logan Brown - OT
Cam Horsley - DT
Seth McLaughlin - C (a guy to stash on the roster with his injury)

C Seth McLaughlin or WR Isiah Bond from Tx would be another hope to add

UDFA additional list
WR
Isaiah Bond Texas off the field issues kept off the draft list. UDFA will be less press. If the kid really didn't do what they said he needs a home.
Xavier Restrepo Miami I hope they are on the phone with Restrepo as we speak
Nick Nash San Jose State
Kobe Hudson Central Florida

OT
Logan Brown Kansas

OG
Joe Huber Wisconsin
Joshua Gray Oregon State
Seth McLaughlin tOSU C
Jake Majors Texas C

Edge
Jared Ivey Ole Miss
Jah Joyner Minnesota

LB
Eugene Asante Auburn

Browns signed him

Anybody know anything about the dudes we signed?

I’m clueless.

Restrepo reunited with Cam Ward. The Titans signed him.

Hey, IrishDawg (and any others inclined to be helpful) where do you go or how do you proceed with forming these UDFA lists? Fascinated by the number of names you generate, and how numbers get signed. Blind to the process, but interested in the processing and screening. Thanx! Bard

ESPN has a list of names that were available draft picks, then they remove them as they get drafted. Unfortunately, this list is based on ESPN analysts rankings, so we really don't know who is better than who in the eyes of actual NFL scouts.

As for the process, it really is every man for themselves.

It's up to the clubs to get in touch with prospects as soon as the draft closes. Then it's a race, for the teams to get the guys you had predetermined to be draft possibilities and then for the prospects to grab a contract before a team closes their doors. The ones on the fringe of being drafted can actually take calls, more than likely they will have several options. Others who didn't get a good prognosis on their predraft analysis need to sign with the first team that comes calling.

They can continue signing until they reach 90 players signed. Then it is a matter of waiving a player if you want to add another one.

There is any number of sites out there that track the UDFA lists also...

At any given time the team will still need to keep their top 53 contracts under the salary cap...

The Browns should bring in Tez to give Gabriel a familiar set of hands during camp.

I believe he was drafted in the 7th

Yep. Tampa Bay drafted him.

I was saying the same thing but with Traeshon Holden. (Signing with Dallas, though)

Dom Jones looks the most interesting to me so far. Wonder if he could be a safety convert.





Guard with the Musketeer name from Cinci has some tools, but needs to clean up the technical stuff. Looks the part size wise and was getting to the second level pretty well in the game I watched.

Great link, trying to keep it where it is easily found

Andrew Armstrong WR Arkansas, is still available I believe.

Huntington is an interesting prospect

We seem to have prioritized speed on the DL more recently. I’m good with adding power.

None of these guys seem like they were real prospects who barely missed being drafted. They aren’t on the lists of top updraft Ed prospects that I am seeing. Maybe we really scouted deep.
