Undrafted Rooks and After Draft Cuts

[Cbus cardsfan]

Can't believe Lazard went undrafted. I texted my buddy about the Cards taking him in round 4. He never replied.

Lazard signed with Jax, lol.

Do u know if the receiver Fountain has been signed somewhere?

FWIW, those are Joe Davidson’s HS sizes that are listed. He is now 6’7 235. Kid was a Ray Guy finalist twice and one of 7 punters to be invited to the combine. Led the nation in kicks over 60yds but struggles with hangtime. Maybe there’s something there.

How many of the undrafted FAs were actually on the Cards Big Board for the draft?

These guys are the result of a lot of work by the SK/Personnel Office and I look forward to seeing how many earn a final roster spot.

Watch for Vollert. Super productive receiving TE.

Drafted by the Colts in the 5th round.

Hope this happens as Dawson is old and did not do very good last year.

Matthew McCrane, the most accurate kicker in Wildcats history, signed a free-agent contract with the Arizona Cardinals.

I can’t believe Simmie Cobbs is available. Go get him Keim that’s an easy no brainer.

Signed with Washington. Also can't believe he wasn't taken in the formal draft.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Deatrick Nichols just sounds like a good football name. He has to wind up being a good player, right?

Unfortunately, their #2 all-time kicker is Neil O'danaghue.

I see several guys who could posssibly make the active roster (Frank Ginda LB,Deatrick Nichols CB,Haston Adams DT,) and several who can be Practice squad guys to develop (alec James DE,Zeke Turner S,Elijah Battle CB, etc;

It’s just a highlight film because his play kinda reminds me of the Honeybadger. Just kinda.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

After watching the highlight reel you can see that Nichols has solid tackling skills and a nose for the ball. The level he was playing at might be a factor in stepping up. Interesting prospect.

 

[Buckeye Cardinal]

I think Brant Morris is Brant Weiss from Toledo.

Seems like a lot of guys .I thought the roster limit was 90 .I guess when draft picks start signing then rosters are reduced to 90 ? Anyone know for sure?

Sure are an awful lot of small school players getting signed. Will House- Southern Nazarene? It's an Oklahoma religious school, while I live in this state I've never heard of the guy and the school is rarely mentioned around here.

Probably most of them. Almost every one of them were signed within a few hours of the end of the draft.

 

[BW52]

Added Baylor DE KJ Smith 6`1 260 to Cards UDFA list.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Good info. Thank you for sharing.

 

[BW52]

Added Trae Moxley OLINE 6`6 330 Colorado state (tryout)*

Three kids from Yale, Princeton and Fordham. Makes you wonder whether Card brass is trying to design a brainy environment for their new QB and change the culture of the franchise long term.

SK loves him some team captains as well.
