Something to think about as we enter draft weekend: In 2015 29% of those who played in the NFL last season..were undrafted free agents. |
The days after the draft are just as important as the few during it. I think that is especially true for this year. Did a little research and these 38 players were UDFA's who made the Giants roster under Coughlin:
QB Jared Lorenzen
RB DJ Ware
RB James Sims
RB Chris Douglas
RB Robert Douglas
RB Akeem Hunt
FB Henry Hynoski
WR Victor Cruz
WR Duke Calhoun
TE Matt LaCosse
TE Jake Ballard
TE Darcy Johnson
TE Michael Matthews
C Jim Cordle
OT Jason Hilliard
OT Sean Donnelly
LB Cole Farrand
LB Spencer Paysinger
LB Mark Herzlich
LB Chase Blackburn
LB James Maxwell
DE Kerry Wynn
DE Adewale Ojomo
DE Justin Trattou
DT Martin Parker
DT Jeremy Clark
CB Charles James
CB Terrence Frederick
CB Brian Jackson
CB Bruce Johnson
CB Dominique Johnson
DB Geoffrey Pope
CB Kevin Dockery
CB Curtis Deloatch
S Will Hill
S Shareff Rashad
S Craig Dahl
S James Butler
Way too lazy to do a comparison but wondering how you guys think that fares against the rest of the league? Don't seem to do well with UDFA OL, but I'm assuming that's probably normal.
TE Jerome Cunningham
TE Will Tye
WR Julian Talley
LB Unagi Unga
and maybe more unless I'm missing something.
RB is a position where quality UDFA's can often be found. While it's unknown if he'll make the final roster, Bobby Rainey was one. There just seems to be a lot RB's with talent, but who don't fit the prototype, or are from a tiny program and are under-scouted.
One guy I like as a potential UDFA RB that I like is Kenneth Farrow out of Houston. I know the Giants know the guy as their scouts have talked with him at both a bowl game and his pro day.
Rugged, solid kid, good size, power and team captain, solid production all of his college career, including against better teams.

"Houston RB Kenneth Farrow probably won't get drafted but should, argues Pro Football Focus.
Over the past two seasons, Farrow had PFF's fourth-highest overall and seventh-highest rushing and receiving grades at his position. On the topic of his passing-game value, Farrow allowed just 10 QB pressures and caught every catchable target over the last two years. Not only that, but he tested really well at Houston's Pro Day. He's thoroughly unsexy, but Farrow could absolutely carve out a solid little NFL career and will likely not cost much to acquire."
