UDFA Tracker 2022

[OldSchool]

The more I see on Pettigrew the more I like him. Have wanted a 2nd TE on the Rams every year since Higs was drafted and we've never had anything reliable or consistent to be there with him.

Snead's MO has always seemed to be throw a bunch of late round picks at positions of need and see what sticks. Seems to have worked so far.

EJ Gaines was a good example.

Back-up-QBs are rarely the holders anymore. Have not been for years. Almost always the punter.

I have to admit that I don't pay attention to other teams' holders unless they pull a Romo.

Don’t agree with that & hopefully your right that he can be a productive NFL player.

B.Hopkins & Blanton imo will be so much more improved after getting that nice NFL experience.That is priceless for how The Rams build there roster(team).

Funny thing is Waldron goes to the hags & picks up Everett.Now Johnny gets signed by Vikings & O’Connell.
That shows what those coaches think of those exRams.

Johnny Hekker almost cost The Rams a SuperBowl with his dropped extra point.That’s at the highest level.

Romo may be one of the primary reasons QBs no longer are the holders.

Actually it may have won them the SB, but I understand what you mean in terns of how important holders are.

I really think had he not dropped it, the Rams may have settled for 3 and a tie on the last drive. Then who knows how it ends?

Rams agree to terms with 17 undrafted free agents

Yep - good post.It’s all hindsight.The old Punters are players to thing.I think The Rams moving on was the best thing for the franchise.It’s like having Staley Drawers.You can keep around as long as you want,but at some point new works even if they don’t feel or mean the same.

Johnny was Sneads first UDRFA as The Rams GM.Last season they could have let him loose,but closing out his career as a Ram SuperBowl winner is pretty cool.

Digging this Elijah Garcia prospect, always need bodies in the trenches. Hoping he can carve out a roll and provide some quality relief snaps for AShawn, Gaines, and AD

Also the Rams on ESPN have an updated depth chart with the draftees and UDFA.

Sounds like he might stick as a PS player. Two years removed from ACL he transferred to get first team football. He needs to catch a lucky break so perhaps we are it

It's not bad although I like Ourlads better and one player I'm betting on is Jake Hummel to beat out Christian Roszeloom although they like Rozebloom on special teams, Hummel really good player for Iowa State Program.

Do we know the contract money for each UDFA? That provides a fairly accurate indicator of who they are most high on in terms of perhaps making the roster

Interesting prospect...

I've watched some of Jamal Pettigrew's highlights. I gotta say, he's impressed me. Could he be a small-school washout? Sure. I think he's an excellent blocking tight end with great size, great athleticism for his size, and a surprisingly good receiver. We may have very well found a stud with him.

Its hard to find a lot on Pettigrew, but he is interesting.

After his 2018 knee injury (cost him his whole sophmore season) he got buried on the depth chart by new recruits and low opportunities to catch passes at LSU.

He transfers to the juggernaut (joking) McNeese State to extend his college career.

Given the RAS scores, being a 4-star recruit, and unusual college situations, he could surprise people with opportunities in a Rams-level offense. He has a smoothness catching passes, to my untrained eye.

Some of the weaknesses in his scouting report, lower body strength, is a conditioning thing. That’s the polish the Rams could put on this guy.

My counter argument to all this is… the best players don’t get buried on depth charts, often. So… he is UDFA for reason. But an interesting player.

I believe they paid DE Keir Thomas the most bonus money.

One thing I think people are forgetting with Dicker and him not being a holder in college. Hard to do that and kick the field goals/extra points. I'm sure if it comes to him being the punter he'll be just fine with our coaches.

Are we sure he gave it the “good old college try”?

Yeah, but Jordan Stout did not hold either in college and the Ravens tried him out in that area and he did very well apparently.

@Allen2McVay is right, it appears holders are the punters, so I'm sure the Rams will ensure Dicker can handle that area of special teams and will factor that into their decision come September Morn.

 

[Allen2McVay]

@Allen2McVay is right, ...

Is it just me! Or does THAT just sound Good!?!
