I haven't really talked about my UDFAs yet, so here we go. It's mostly Twitter cut up scouting at this point.
KeeSean Johnson - The testing numbers don't look great, but the tape does. He's a great route runner and definitely plays faster than the underwear olympics times. I'm honestly not convinced he's that far off from Riley Ridley, but I still wouldn't be surprised if he goes undrafted. Hands are great and he should carve out a role at some point in his career, even if he never becomes a star.
Darwin Thompson - My tiny RB of the year. His contact balance is insane for a guy that small. He doesn't have the long speed but he's shifty and can break off chunks both as a runner and in the passing game. He'll never be a 3 down guy, but should be a nice committee guy. He's not Phillip Lindsay, but I wasn't letting this one get away this year.
Tyler Roemer - If it wasn't for his suspension and subsequent departure from SDSU, he'd be a lock to get drafted. He's got some rawness to him but his movement and size can't be taught. He might need a year on a PS, but I'll take my chances that a coach can unlock his potential and clean up the red flags.
Ashton Dulin - He comes from a tiny D2 school, but dominated the competition. He played in a myriad of roles and put up great testing numbers. He hasn't had much coaching on his routes (obviously), but he should be a fun little project to take on.
BJ Autry - What a massive dude. It's not all good weight, but he's surprisingly athletic and plays to the whistle every single time. This one might actually be one of my favorites. If a coach can get a hold of him, work on his technique a bit, and keep his weight down, he could be a monster.
Blace Brown - He's got everything you want in a CB, except speed. There are reports that he wasn't 100% running his 40 and going through the other testing, but there's still a lot to like there. I think he'll likely end up in the slot with his IQ and hip fluidity, where that long speed isn't as big of a factor.

Is there some way I can make some signing for the udfa?
you will pick last in each round starting in round three, but you can't make up picks. The deadline for signup was Monday at noon
Bj autry is definitely a guy I’ve been intrigued by but never actually done any proper study of

Thank you
Outside of a few bad reps, he did really well in the 1-on-1's at the Senior Bowl, which is always a good thing for a small school prospect who wasn't facing guys like that weekly. Hard to find tape on a lot of these guys these days, so you take what you can, and those were enough to intrigue me. Game cutups were pretty damn good, too. Just needs to lose a bit of the gut.
@rossihunter2 I honestly didn't know that Ty Johnson was in this class. Didn't verify and paid for it. Had him on my radar since last year. Good signing.
