### The Official Undrafted Free Agency Thread ###

All in all a weird draft.

2 starters who should see a solid amount of playing time this year (McDonald, Tippman), role players/special teamers (Abanikanda, Barnes, Bernard-Converse) and 2 redshirt guys who have potential (Warren, Kuntz). 

UDFAs could still make a case for the roster at slot WR, DT, S.

Are the Jets allowed to start calling UDFA or are teams continually in contact with agents/players throughout the Draft?

Yeah, they will start calling guys and setting up potential FA deals.  If the guys end up getting drafted, the deals aren't concluded.

I think Converse has the ability to play more than a role. He is big and super fast - he MAY be the FS we have desperately been needing. Could he be our Kerry Rhodes?

I would guess they are not allowed to call until the draft is over because they these guys could still get picked and need to be available to hear from the teams that draft them.

They will be going over their list of players though and have a bit of a jump in being able to make calls very quickly after the draft is over.

The Jets in the last few years have not been afraid to pay up to get the UDFA's they like though offering more money than other teams.

yep; you would also not want the guy to get pumped about going to his choice location and a better signing bonus just to be yanked by a drafting team. That could lead to players to say something to drafting team to get them not to pick; nfs is all about protecting the teams ability to draft.

Jets should bring in one of my wideouts sleepers. I watched him in the black colleges all star game. He is fast and has great hands. Hey Mr. Douglas  get on the phone and get this guy in. His name is Xavier Smith. He is 5'9" and runs a 4.38 forty and catches everything. He plays for Florida A&M.

Can the speak with their representative/agent?

I cannot believe Kaevon Merriweather from my Hawkeyes did not get draft.  I think most saw him as a 4th/5th Rd player safety.  Great ball skills, physical, smart and one of the best leaders the programs has ever seen.  I think he seems like the quintessential Douglas makeup.
