2017 UDFA Thread
14 picks to go and no one taken so far so I figured I would get this started. Most should be on teams by tonight or tomorrow latest. Some will be picked up just a few minutes after the draft is done so we'll post them here as they get added.

He deserved better. Hate the Cowpies, but hope he makes the team.

Re: 2017 UDFA Thread
Most teams aren't even close to being done signing UDFA's. A lot of signings will take place tomorrow and Monday as well, some even later. And any of our guys that get interest from more than one team should take a little time to decide and make sure they go to the team that they have the best chance to make. We'll see more sign before all is done.

Re: 2017 UDFA Thread
Very few of the rookie mini-camp invitees not to mention the UDFA's make it onto an active roster so everyone temper expectations. It is an opportunity though and I'm always excited for the young men.

Re: 2017 UDFA Thread
Gilchrist and Collins are guys that, barring injury, will at the least make the practice squad of some team. The teams that picked them up may not be where they finish camp and begin the season at. I think that the Jaguars probably liked Collins a lot and if the market demanded he be drafted they would've taken him, but the demand during the draft wasn't there. They will need a guy with his attitude and ability to open up holes that have been non-existent for Yeldon, for Fournette.Rekdiver wrote:Very few of the rookie mini-camp invitees not to mention the UDFA's make it onto an active roster so everyone temper expectations.

Any one know what's going on with Marcus? His twitter is quiet and there isn't any news I can find being printed. Also, I vaguely remember hearing that only one person who has rushed for over 5,000 yards in their career in college football has not had a chance in the NFL. That's 1 person out of 22. Cox would make number 2.

Re: 2017 UDFA Thread
The biggest issue for Marcus is Jaylin Moore. Moore looked so good while Cox was out. I am sure scouts are seeing his success as it being a great system as opposed to his performance.

Even though he hasn't said anything official it looks from this tweet from Blair that John Law is joining Mondo at the 49ers rookie camp.

Re: 2017 UDFA Thread
Cox, sans a holding call, had over 130 yards in one quarter against Miami while Moore didn't even get close. In my experience in watching them both, Cox has been the better back against better competition than Moore has been. Against Toledo, Cox consistently found holes and ripped off big gains while Moore failed to find those holes. I think that Cox has been successful in this particular system but the idea that an NFL team wouldn't take Cox because he is a system player is a farce, in my opinion.ASUPATCH wrote:The biggest issue for Marcus is Jaylin Moore.

NFL teams often times, and now more than before, take players that fit their system rather than the other way around. Teams like the 49er's who will now be running a zone stretch based offense, or the Patriots who consistently get their guys out in space will take a runner will good vision and cutting ability. What has hurt Cox, and he even mentioned this at his Pro Day, is a lack of burst. He has one gear and NFL teams see that as a detriment, no matter how good his vision is. I suspect he will get a call at some point as guys begin to become injured but as of this moment, it isn't a promising start.

Re: 2017 UDFA Thread
The CFL route could be part of a number of guys futures. I think the pre-season camps start soon north of the boarder. They've spent a good amount of time since the bowl game preparing for the NFL, it makes sense to me to give 'Oh Canada' a try before giving up on the dream.
