RaidersAreOne Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) QB Carter Bradley, South Alabama G Clark Barrington, Baylor T Andrew Coker, TCU WR Jeff Foreman, Arkansas State DT Tomari Fox, North Carolina DE TJ Franklin, Baylor DE Amari Gainer, North Carolina CB Demarcus Governor, Northern Iowa WR Lideatrick Griffin, Mississippi State G Jake Johanning, Furman WR Ramel Keyton, Tennessee C Will Putnam, Clemson S Phalen Sanford, Nebraska DT Noah Shannon, Iowa CB Ja'Quan Sheppard, Maryland DE Ron Stone, Washington State CB Rayshad Williams, Texas Tech Quote Keyton and Griffin are some of the more notable UDFA additions. Keyton was a starter for the Volunteers over the last two seasons and comes off a career 2023 campaign in which he totaled 642 yards and six touchdowns on 35 receptions, all of which were career-highs. The following is NFL analyst Lance Zierlein's evaluation of Keyton: "Linear receiver with good size but several holes to fill to be a “make-it” prospect at the next level. Keyton played all five seasons at Tennessee, with the bulk of his production landing over the last two seasons. He’s not bad getting off of press coverage, but he’s a build-up runner lacking early acceleration. His route-running and ball skills will need a serious upgrade." Griffin started in 10 of 12 games last season, leading the Bulldogs with 658 yards and four touchdowns on 50 receptions. The year prior, he was named a first-team All-America by the Football Writers Association of America as a return specialist and a second-team All-American return specialist by Walter Camp, Sporting News and CBS Sports. The following is Zierlein's evaluation of Griffin: "The draft grade is lower than the flashes on tape, but projecting the ceiling seems a little too risky with his evaluation. Griffin is on the thinner side, but he's a willing run finisher after the catch and as a kick returner. He's a gifted athlete with explosive acceleration and the tools to become a challenging man cover option. Griffin doesn't play with nearly enough focus and will cruise through routes rather than finishing them with tempo. While the tools are there for him to become a more well-rounded receiver, Griffin might not develop into much more than a specialty receiver with kick-return value." We reported the news of the Raiders adding QB Bradley on Saturday. Edited April 28 by RaidersAreOne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was what an All American on BYU... Andrew Coker was a good pickup as well as a big OT project. Sheppard was a good pickup also, I thought he could have easily been a big round pick and was great against Michigan this past season, big tall athlete. Rone Stone for them is also a huge get, he has great character and a high motor as a edge rusher, not as long or as talented as his teammate Jackson but apparently super high character guy that is a great teammate and leader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 This is a pretty good read https://x.com/kuhntristen/status/1785717908129091883?s=46&t=pqVkeysXJ6Q-8Nhd16vGEA i think WR- Foreman, Tulu T- Coker IOL- Clark Barrington, Jake Johanning Edge - Ron Stone, TJ Franklin LB- Amari Gainer CB- Demarcus Governor, JaQuan Shepard, Rayshad Williams all have a decent shot to make the team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Catching up on the UDFA’ obviously only 1 or 2 will make the team but there a couple of players that I like Coker looks to be a mauler, really strong but footwork and technique need work. Might be a better fit as a guard. Ron Stone jnr looks intriguing. Listed as a DE but Dane Brugler thinks he might convert to SLB. Plays the run really well, relentless in pursuit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done really well with UDFAs recently so I could easily see two or three making the roster or practice squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers actually been solid with UDFAs. I really like the corners 1-2 might make the 53 Edited May 9 by Humble_Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
