Add Devin Tyler, OT, Temple

Seems like a big boy. Hopefully can add a few pounds to that frame.
OT Devin Tyler (6-8 1/2 308) is a developmental tackle. He did 34 repetitions at 225 pounds with 33 3/4-inch arms. - Mike Mayock, NFL.com

A little more on Tyler:

Biography: Four-year starter at left tackle awarded All-Conference honors as a senior.

Positives: King-sized blocker who displays ability in pass protection. Quick off the snap, stays square, and makes good use of body positioning. Keeps his feet moving throughout the action, adjusts to defenders, and jolts opponents with good hand punch. Moves well on his feet and displays skill blocking in motion. Easily turns defenders off the ball and controls on once engaged in a block.

Negatives: Must improve the strength of his base and learn to finish blocks. Shows average awareness and seems to get lost on the field.

Analysis: Tyler is a size prospect and a developmental player with a high upside. He should only improve as he physically matures and gets stronger. The ability to block on the move will make him and enticing player in camp this summer.

Projection: FA

Carrol grabed one of the ILB off the list in Joe Pawelek of Baylor.

He also grabbed all of the remaining undrafted USC guys for some odd reason.;)

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but as an UDFA we should take a flyer on Tony Washington. He hasn't been in trouble since he was 16 (as reprehensible as what he did was, people CAN change and he was just a kid when he made that God awful decision). If Vick can get a second chance and Big Ben will get a second chance (or is this his third?), then Washington should at least get a shot.

Low risk at this point and high reward.

According to Kent Somers you can add Stephen Williams.
The Toledo Blade reported that Toledo receiver Stephen Williams had signed with Arizona. He is 6-feet-4 and 207 pounds

Here is some more scouting reports:
Stephen Williams, WR, Toledo

The Mid-American Conference is known for their quarterbacks, but it takes some good wide receivers to turn those quarterbacks into productive players. Toledo has lacked a consistent signal caller throughout much of Stephen Williams' collegiate career, but that has not stopped him from emerging as a potential NFL player. After redshirting in 2005 and seeing limited action in 2006, Williams had his breakout year as a sophomore. He led the team with 73 receptions and 1,169 yards and reached the end zone seven times. A season later he caught 71 passes for 781 yards and eight scores; both those seasons earned him second-team All-MAC accolades.
The 2009 season has seen Williams get some competition from fellow receiver Eric Page, but in the ten games he has played, Williams has caught 71 passes for 983 yards and five touchdowns. Those numbers are even more impressive considering that the Rockets have played three quarterbacks.
Williams will stay on NFL radars because of his size and speed. He is listed at 6-5 and 199 pounds and you cannot teach size like that. He may be a little weak when it comes to battling corners off the line of scrimmage in the NFL, but he was timed at 4.41 in the 40 and will look to fly right by the opposition.

Williams' size makes him an inviting target, and he has above-average speed after clocking a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash during spring practices. The Houston native was unable to play in the Texas vs. Nation All-Star game due to a hamstring pull suffered in practice leading up to the game. Williams had a strong showing at the NFL Scouting Combine, finishing among the leaders in the broad jump and 3-cone drill. He has a lot of raw skills but a strong work ethic and competitive drive that would make him an intriguing late pick to a team that has the patience to refine his game at the next level.

If I was an agent for a UDFA CB or ILB the Cardinals would be among the first teams I'd consider....but honestly when we get to this point its throwing you know what against the wall and hoping it sticks. More likely than not these guys are really being looked at for the practice squad at best.

I don't know about that. Some of these selections have as much promise as most of our prime draft picks used to have.

Who was the last UDFA we have had that has started for us? This isn't the Ryan/Tobin/MacGinnis regimes when UDFA's made the team almost every year because we stunk so much.
