UDFA Signings can We Keep Here With Links

Really? That’s our safety.

Is Hunter Bryant or Sage Surratt a better “after the draft” UDFA signing?

Nebraska RB Dedrick Mills.

5-11, 220

##### Strengths

** A downhill runner who picks up momentum as he goes and does a nice job absorbing contact between the tackles - physical with good pad level.*
** Quick feet with good vision to pick through defenses. He has solid hands and body control and is a reliable receiver.*
** Has sneaky speed but won’t always get to the corner. Runs low through the hole with size and strength to move the chains as an interior runner. Has a strong stiff-arm and spin move to slip defenders. Best in goal-line situations finds another level of determination.*
** Has good burst to and through the hole. A patient runner with good vision and burst for the cutback. Squares his shoulders and can knock the defender back onto his heels. Good leg drive and forward lean to gain extra yardage after contact.*
** Has sneaky speed but won’t always get to the corner. Runs low through the hole with size and strength to move the chains as an interior runner. Has a strong stiff-arm and spin move to slip defenders. Best in goal-line situations finds another level of determination. Good recognition as a runner and pass blocker. Natural receiver with versatility as a route-runner.*
** A quick, smooth athlete with the footwork to make sharp cuts and redirect his momentum in a flash. Shows good vision and patience with natural running instincts.*
** Shows a surprising burst to beat linebackers to the edge. Can plant his foot in the ground and explode, showing better straight-line speed than expected.*
** Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he’s rarely caught from behind.*

##### Weaknesses

  • A one-speed runner and lacks any explosive qualities with tight hips. Has poor balance and has the bad habit of losing coordination when changing directions - his feet and upper body look to be on two different pages.
  • Too indecisive and hesitant at the line of scrimmage.

Trill Williams is a huge signing. He’s the Josh Johnson style. CB background. Has played all over the secondary. Okay athlete as a corner but it plays up a bit back at free safety

Dude runs hard. Practice squad fodder though IMO.

Yeah, Robert Jones did NOT sign with Detroit. He went to Miami.

Neither did Trill it seems. Damn.

So much for Jones to the Lions.

Did you swap Tavai’s name out and put Marshall’s in? :wink:

So you’re saying the Trill is gone?

Drake Jackson, 6-2, 290

Drake Jackson projects as a scheme-specific starter at the NFL level. Jackson has the needed hand leverage, short-area mobility, and football savvy to excel in the heart of an NFL line—although his playing experiences will leave questions about how well suited he is to start immediately in a much more pass-happy environment. Jackson has served as the anchor of the Wildcats’ offensive line for four seasons and the end result is a really well-rounded center prospect who can handle one-on-one reps against a nose or combo block and climb with efficiency against shaded interior defenders. Jackson has the needed nimble feet to win in space and the biggest question for him will be if he can be a scheme transcendent player. As is, I like him most in an offense that implements a lot of WCO and inside zone concepts. He’s not a high-level traits player and he’s not going to offer versatility to move around the line, but Jackson is proficient at what he does and is a perfect example of a competent iOL that can be found in the middle rounds of the NFL draft.
