Official undrafted FA thread

[EvAn]

I would personally really like to see us get

RB Chris Polk- he was projected with first/second round talent and went undrafted. He has the speed and quickness to give us a new dimension in the run game.

C Garth Gerhart- a solid mid round projected center prospect. And i want him to have to play his brother Toby Gerhart (Vikings RB) twice a year.

CB Chase Minnifield- third to fourth round talent that fell

S Aaron Henry(from Wisconsin) or Duke Ihenacho for extra competition

OG Luke Nix- huge OL prospect that fell in the draft, was projected third rounder.


Anyone you guys would like to see? Seeing as how undrafted free agents is where TT is the man

 

[TeamTundra]

C Michael Brewster Ohio State along with many of the players you all ready mentioned -
Polk, Nix, Henry, etc.

I'm shocked that the Packers didn't use one pick on a center/guard given we don't
have much depth. If they can sign Brewster, Gerhart or a veteran like Jason Brown,
that would be a big plus. Would also like to see another young RB to add to the mix.

 

[SpartaChris]

We can sign them now. According to twitter, we've signed like 4 or 5 UDFA's already.

*I will continue to update who signs/gets an invite from the Packers.

The Packers have just signed Darius Reynolds (WR) from Iowa State. He reminds me of a smaller Calvin Johnson.

I thought it would be nice to just have a list of only Packers along with video.

Also, those sites don't have some of the players I listed because I'm getting this from verified twitter accounts on twitter from the actual players as we speak.

 

[EvAn]

Tyler, Moss, Lair and Richardson all look like solid additions! Way to go TT!

 

[AmishMafia]

Dale Moss is very interesting to me. 6'4" 215 lbs, 4.3 40 and a 41" vert. thats amazing! whether he can play football is another matter.

Marcus Rivers looks awesome. Great quickness, hands and runs nice routes. Could be developed into a future starter

 

[13 Times Champs]

Moss. Interesting stuff on him. bios of other players also.

That site lists Marcus Rivers, WR at 6'3" 312lbs.. Hopefully a typo hahaha

 

[EvAn]

Reports also say that Packers plan to move Sean Richardson from SS to LB. this is very interesting, Height: 6-2. Weight: 216.
40 Time: 4.47. Vertical: 38.5. And he is a very physical player. So depending on what LB position he plays it looks like the Pack are trying to get some better pass coverage LBs, hope it works!

More on Moss, from Sigmund at the B/R.

The best receiving tight end in the league, Antonio Gates, played no college football before excelling in the NFL. Nick Saban wanted him to play only football at Michigan State. Eventually he transferred to Kent State to exclusively play basketball, but the NBA was lukewarm about his prospects, so he worked out for NFL scouts and was signed by the San Diego Chargers.

South Dakota State WR Dale Moss has a leg up on Gates—he actually played football last year.

With an extra year of eligibility after playing basketball for four years, Moss was a natural. He led the team with 61 catches, 949 yards and six touchdowns in just nine games.

His pro day was the stuff of scouting legends, with Moss running a 4.45 40, with a 41.5-inch vertical and 6.32 three-cone time.

At 6'3" and 213 pounds, that profile would easily make him the most impressive athlete at wide receiver in the NFL combine. His three-cone would have been the fastest by .27 seconds, and his vertical would have been the second-highest. His 40 would have been less than a 10th of a second off of the fastest WR time at the combine.

Moss likely fell out of the draft due to his lack of experience at wide receiver, but he had interest from "several teams", according to Terry Vandrovec from the Argus Leader. Vandrovec reports that Moss signed a three-year contract "minutes" after the draft was over.

The length of the contract indicates that Moss was one of the top undrafted free agent targets of the Packers, if not the top target. The South Dakota State Collegian points out that four former players from the school have played for the Packers, including 1997 Super Bowl player Adam Timmerman.

 

[Helmets]

Yes, Moss is certainly intriguing. I hope he is given a chance given the number of receivers on the roster already and the number ahead of him on the depth chart.
