I love this signing. He rolled OSU, he has patience, speed, and acceleration to run inside and out. I think this is a sneaky signing and I'm surprised he wasn't drafted. Oh, he is probably the best pass protecting back in this draft. For what it's worth. He's also very good as a pass catching back. He might be the best that we have on the team there too. Breece is good too though. THE DON Good pick up.
I like the Michigan running back too, good signing, wouldn’t be surprised if he makes the team what about Thomas Perry the D3 lineman. Great story I’m rooting for him
I saw some analysts clips of the kid and they rant about him also. Strong runner, amazing blocker and great catching hands. I know this is not a very popular thought around here, by I’m a big fan of the two back formation with JF behind center. Especially with runners that can catch the ball. How do you defend that for red zone situations.
I guess they didn't draft enough Secondary players. BTW, who is going to actually rush the passer this season?
We couldn't slim Becton until it was too late. Anybody at that weight would need knees and ankle joints made of titanium to stop them snapping inside 3 years of being a pro athlete.
There is a UDFA tracker on the NFL.com website, which tells you who signed for whom and who is left. It also lists the players in ranking order(though who ranks them?).https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-top-undrafted-rookie-free-agents
A couple of decent OT prospects still not taken, certainly be good enough for the practice squad and back ups in a couple of years, the way our line has been abused by injuries the last few years we could do with some forward planning. Hollin Pierce LT started at RT PFF 85.1 Ranked top 12 tackles in the FBS Overview Four-year starting tackle with unrivaled measurables and disruptive power for his height. Pierce plays with adequate technique in the run game and imposes his massive frame on static ends to widen the C-gap. He will struggle, however, with shorter edge defenders and athletic penetrators. Pierce is a heavy-legged leaner with average punch timing but exceptional length that keeps rushers out of his frame. His size makes him hard to navigate and he does a nice job of pushing rushers past the pocket. Quick inside counters could eat him up on the next level, though. It won’t always go smoothly, but Pierce’s effective use of his traits gives him a chance to become an NFL right tackle. Strengths Rare combination of size and length. Tremendously disciplined with just four penalties over 3,100 snaps, per PFF. Above-average hand placement and resets as a run blocker. Runs feet through contact to widen out the end or force them to run around him. Mass and length can swallow rushers who get too close. Uses trap technique with outside hand to close down his edge. Effective use of length allows him to redirect leaky rushers. Weaknesses Heavy-legged with little chance of sliding out and cutting off NFL speed. Gives immediate ground when hit with speed-to-power. Gets overextended at the top of his sets, opening the rush door inside. More lean than bend getting into blocks at the point of attack. Below-average body control to balance through contact. Trey Wedig RT played LG/RG PFF grade 83.5 Overview Tackle/guard prospect with steady game tape. Wedig possesses an NFL frame but will need to add more upper-body power and core strength. He’s an intelligent player with consistent recognition of where to be and what to do. He centers up run blocks and stays connected but is better as a move blocker than he is when asked to drive someone off the ball. Wedig’s pass protection is solid when he’s in position but his lack of length and average slide quickness could have teams pushing him inside to guard, where he will need to prove he’s strong enough to take on NFL defensive tackles. Strengths Shows no panic when faced with early trials in pass protection. Maintains base width and resets hands during the rep. Uses shuffle and arm extension to maneuver rushers around the pocket. Good lift into first contact with adequate stickiness afterward. Plays with grip strength and strain as a base blocker. Good football IQ and instincts. Weaknesses Average ground gained in his diagonal kick slides. Gets beat to the action because of inconsistent punch timing. Lacks upper-body power to properly protect his edges. Outreached and stalled by length on kick-out blocks. Below-average pop on contact. Will need to improve his core strength for the rigors of the NFL.
I'm a big Rutgers fan and I wouldn't even look at Pierce; he's not a pro-caliber player. But Josh Gray (Oregon State) played both left tackle and guard and he's really, really good - he'd probably be my first choice of any UFA.
Wonder what went wrong for him, projected 4th or 5th rounder and didn't get picked, I know it was a deep draft for OL but still. Nothing wrong with him either tbh, get them in and onto the practice field and see what they can do, we always need OL to step in, he has gone from LT to LG, which considering we have had injury problems from both of our LT and LG Gray still has a lot to learn Overview Team captain and five-year starter who can best be described as tough, strong and reliable. A majority of Gray’s nearly 4,000 snaps came at left tackle, but he moved to guard in 2024 and proved he was more than capable. He has average size but good point-of-attack strength. He can generate movement during the sustain phase of the block and fits into all run-blocking schemes. The pass protection posture looks good and he’s generally accurate with his punch but displays surprisingly average reactive athleticism to mirror movement and recover when beaten. Gray has more work to do at guard, but his intelligence, strength and durability will make him a favorite of offensive line coaches. Strengths Made seamless switch to guard after four years at tackle. Lands inside hands and latches in with excellent grip strength. Engages base blocks with strong core and good strain. Possesses tools necessary to play in all run-blocking schemes. Keeps head back and back flat in his protections. Able to time things up with his punch. Average bender but is able to respond to and quiet a bull rush. Weaknesses Fits up run blocks with average acceleration and pop. Gets grabby instead of meeting movement with his feet. Inconsistent timing and footwork on combo blocks and double teams. Allows his feet to get too heavy and static in pass protection. Had issues remaining patient and maintaining positioning against twists.
QB Brady Cook https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Brady-Cook-QB-Missouri Scouting Report: Summary Cook looks like a potential QB2 at the next level. His football IQ, short-area accuracy, and elite wheels for the position make him an intriguing developmental prospect. While his arm strength limitations may cap his ceiling, Cook's experience in a pro-style offense and decision-making chops could allow him to carve out a role as a reliable clipboard holder. In the right system, Cook could thrive in a West Coast scheme that emphasizes quick strikes and YAC opportunities. His mobility adds a dimension that could be weaponized in short-yardage and red-zone packages. While he may not have the arm talent to be a full-time NFL starter, Cook's intangibles and operational skills give him a shot to stick on an NFL roster. Cook's draft stock will likely have him positioned as a late Day 3 selection or priority UDFA. His local ties and leadership qualities could make him an attractive option for teams looking to bolster their QB room with a high-character backup who can run the scout team effectively and step in if needed.
I'm not so sure, there were a few clips in there that he took off like a sprinter and it does say elite for the position tbf Of course, not saying he is going to be the HOF QB we've been looking for forever lol
I am so thrilled at this pick up. A true 1 tech who has a lot of experience in the SEC. We needed a big run stuffer badly. This makes me feel better, hopefully they can pull his outmost potential out of him. I like this kid though. Very good signing I think.
