Undrafted Free Agents Who Could Make Major Waves This Offseason
Kai Nacua, S, Cleveland Browns 2 of 8One of the very best athletes in the draft, Kai Nacua of BYU made the wise decision to join the safety-needy Cleveland Browns.
Cleveland never addressed the safety position after picking Gerbil Peppers in the first round, leaving the other two spots in new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' 4-2-5 alignment open for competition. Nacua has the chance to earn playing time early.
2016 contributors Ibraheim Campbell and Ed Reynolds were among the worst starters in the league last year, too often taking bad angles and missing tackles. Their lack of forced turnovers compounded the issue, and Williams will demand more from the position than what those two showed last year. Nacua and fellow newcomer Tyvis Powell have the collegiate resumes to hint they're going to make the final roster as well as waves on the depth chart.
Nacua surprisingly went undrafted despite playing single-high safety for BYU and totaling 14 interceptions in the last three seasons. He's not a great tackler, but that's more of a strength of Peppers and Powell. At his pro day, the 6'1", 205-pound safety ran a great 4.49 time, leaping 39" high and finishing the three-cone drill in a mere 6.87 seconds. He's one of the best athletes in a loaded class and his production is impressive.
Najee Murray, CB, Cleveland Browns 3 of 8Another secondary undrafted free agent who could make waves for the Cleveland Browns is Najee Murray. The Kent State alum will benefit from the Browns not drafting more than one cornerback despite their need for bodies at the position. And the man they did draft, Howard Wilson, projects best as a boundary corner, while Murray is a slot-only option.
The 5'9", 182-pound corner is reminiscent of Nickell Robey-Coleman, with a tough mindset and willingness to stick his nose in every dogpile to finish the play. Murray began his career at Ohio State before transferring after his freshman season, then quickly established himself as a specialist for the Golden Flash defense. What will help Murray is being able to play special teams early in his career.
Cleveland has one slot corner in Briean Boddy-Calhoun currently, but there's potentially room for one more corner on the roster even with Wilson in the fold. Murray will have the upper hand there due to experience at the role and the lack of other competition currently in-house. Then, even one injury within the unit can further open the door to him leaving his mark on the defense.

Makes one think of Kai at FS & Peppers at SS.....Talk about 2 ATHLETES at safety! I'll leave it to GW to iron out any wrinkles in their games.

Read on bleacher this am this kat has his degree in fitness & health. Could be huge in this locker room getting teammates to eating/hydrate/prepare right way before Camp/Full Season. This dudes game tape could make losing Whitner, Gipson & K-wan a bit easier.. Seems that The Harvard HoundDawgs have hooked on to another good player

Better yet, we signed a guy from Akron. Cock a doodle fucking doo.
DE - Jamal Marcus (Akron)
Here's your lunch pail guy^^I'd bet Bobby Vega scouted this kid in his hometown in Durham,NC. Marcus(4 star recruit) played at OSU behind Noah Spence. 6 tackles vs Clemson at Orange bowl. 2014 Marcus was to start during Spence's suspension at start of season but Meyer suspended him for academic reasons..Jamal Red shirted off to Akron with a chip on his shoulder ever since..66th out of 175 at OLB..Heads up Joe Schobert

but than the likes of Josh Cribbs,Antonio Gates & Jartavis Brown show up. Dri Archer drafted 3rd rd. to steelqueers. Did not know but now in Buffalo. -

I was hoping to see Jordan Westerkamp on the list. The kid has the best hands I've ever seen. No hyperbole. He's had Tommy Brainweak throwing to him for four years, so he had to catch everything that touched his hands because who knew when the next pass would be within arms reach.

Greg Auman@gregaumanBucs are not signing tryout WR Jordan Westerkamp from Nebraska. He's headed to Browns rookie minicamp next weekend. Looked sharp, healthy.BOOYAKASHA!!!!!

Mods,
Please move this thread to the already existing UDFA thread.
Thanks,
Mike
-
don't know if this has been posted already.... but the Browns have a second year of having draft criteria
that includes
*FOOTBALL PLAYER*, that extends to their UDFA's.
-
No longer includes kids with no criminal history though.
-
alleged. and I never said don't give a player a second chance...especially in late rounds..
-
I think you did.
-
nope. your graw is warped.
-
A few guys put up some pretty good numbers.
Sgt Schult(z) had 35.5 sacks...but he's a 258 lb DLineman.
Gonna be tough for the TE to make the team. He averaged less than 1 catch per game in college......and they already released Barnidge. (he better be one helluva blocker)
The DB's should feel as though they could stick if they work hard...especially Jabrill's buddy.

C/p from the wrong window.. Let's try this again.

Today is the day free agents can be signed without affecting compensatory pick formula
We expecting any more additions? I saw somewhere predict us to sign Sio Moore a LB who was with the Falcons last year

I have said that I am in favor of adding an OLB. So this guy could fit the bill. Only thing: Why has he been signed and released by 4 different teams in the last 4 years?
Oakland Raiders[edit]
Moore was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the third round, with the 66th overall pick, of the 2013 NFL Draft. On October 27, 2013, Moore picked up 2 sacks and 5 tackles in a 21-18 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Indianapolis Colts[edit]
On September 4, 2015, Moore was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for sixth round pick in the 2016 NFL draft.[6] He was released by the Colts on October 4, 2016.[7]
Kansas City Chiefs[edit]

Became a free agent at the end of the 2016 season
Has this guy had injuries?
