OldCleat's All Did Not Get Drafted Team 2011 Defensive Line, update

Below is an update of signing statuses of the 2011 OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team. The photo of Ryan Winterswyk is from rocktytoptalk.com.

Ian Williams DT 6-2 301 Notre Dame

Signed with the San Francisco 49ers. He was considered by Tony Pauline of Draftinsider.net as a top undrafted free agent. With the niners moving on from Aubrayo Franklin at NT, Williams could have a track to a backup job.

Lawon Scott DT 6-2 310 Mississippi

Scott signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Scott has the size and ability to be a backup NT in the NFL. He had a promising start to his college career, but he was moved to a backup in a rotation in his senior season. He sustained an injury in the Tennessee game.

Dexter Larimore DT 6-2 310 Ohio State

Larimore signed with the New Orleans Saints. He is a big 4-3 DT who could also play some NT. He flashes some athleticism for his size. He doesn't project as a great pass rusher.

Ted Laurent DT 6-1 303 Mississippi

Another of the three draftable Mississippi DTs (along with Lawon Scott and Jerrel Powe), Laurent is now playing with the Edmonton Eskimos in the CFL. It turns out that Laurent lived in Canada until he was 15 and moved to Georgia. He was selected in the CFL's supplemental draft because of the NFL lockout. He still wants to play in the NFL.

Ollie Ogbu DT 6-1 285 Penn State

Ogbu is a quick but undersized DT who would need to go to a Tampa-2 team. Done. Ogbu was signed by the Colts. The Colts may have some cap issues, so he may have a chance to stick.

Ryan Winterswyk DE 6-4 263 Boise State

Coming out of college, Winterswyk was a 4-3 DE who was a little small for a run stuffer but not quite the pass rusher for a 260 pounder. So he was a bit of a tweener. Well, it appears that the Falcons are going to make him a blocking tight end. And apparently at least Miami was also interested in him as a TE.

Justin Trattou DE 6-3 252 Florida

Trattou signed by the Giants. OK, he was a part-time player until his senior year, but Trattou was behind two DEs at Florida (Carlos Dunlap and Jermaine Cunningham) who were second-round picks in the 2010 draft (and Dulap was projected to be a top-10 pick before a slide). Trattou looked like a player to me as a senior. May be a step too slow to play DE at 255. But he has a chance.

Ugo Chinasa DE 6-5 252 Oklahoma State

Signed by the Carolina Panthers, Chinasa is a 4-3 DE. He may be a good NFL pass rusher with some refinement to his technique.

Arian Foster and the OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team 2009

I totally whiffed on Arian Foster. Foster was an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee who was signed by the Houston Texans after the 2009 draft. After I picked the original OCADNGDT in 2008, I decided to scale back the number of folks I added to the team. So I went from five running backs to three: P.J. Hill RB 5'10¼" 222 Wisconsin; Herb Donaldson RB 5'9⅞" 224 Western Illinois; and Kory Sheets RB 5'11⅛" 208 Purdue. Arian Foster is 6'1" 215. I didn’t think he was all that special, and neither did the drafters, since he was undrafted.

I liked Hill and Donaldson because they were both very productive and were tanks in college. I liked Sheets because I thought he was productive and had “third down back” written all over him.

Well, Foster beat out Steve Slaton, who I thought had a good chance to be a top back in the NFL after his 1,200 yards rushing as a rookie in 2008. And then Foster went on to win the 2010 rushing title with 1,616 rushing yards, also leading the league in yards from scrimmage (2,220), rushing touchdowns (16), and total touchdowns (18).

Foster broke the NFL single-season rushing record for an undrafted player, bettering Priest Holmes (1,615 in 2002) by one yard with a two-yard carry on his final attempt of the game. Foster also had 604 yards receiving to become the sixth player in league history to reach 1,500 yards rushing and 600 yards receiving in the same year.

P.J. Hill, who I was really high on, was signed by the New Orleans Saints after not being drafted out of Wisconsin. He was on their practice squad until the Eagles signed him. They put in on their practice squad a week later, and the Redskins signed him. He spent the offseason with the Redskins, who cut him in May. The Saints re-signed him, he tore his triceps, and he spent the year on the IR.

Donaldson was also signed by the Saints after the draft. He was on the Saints practice squad until November 2009. The Cowboys signed him in December 2009 and put him on their practice squad. He was waived by the Cowboys in final cuts in training camp 2010, but the Titans put him on their practice squad.

Sheets was signed by the 49ers, who put him on their practice squad. He was signed by the Dolphins to their active roster in October 2009. He tore his Achilles tendon in 2010 training camp was waived by the Dolphins.

The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team 10-Game Update


Here is the update on The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team ... not everyone, but the ones that I can find some updates on. The image is from ESPN.


BenJarvus Green-Ellis has started three games for the Patriots, who have been hit by the injury bug at running back. He has really stepped up and looks like a No. 1 or No. 2 back in the NFL. He was a tough running back at Indiana and Mississippi, and he had some quicks to go with his 225 pounds. A very good pickup for the Pats, but that's not surprising.


Dantrell Savage played pretty well in the one extended shot he got with the Chiefs, though he muffed a punt. But he has shown that he can be a situational back in the league.


Darrell Robertson was signed by the New England Pats. He after he was cut by the Cowboys in final cutdowns, he spent a couple of games with the Edmonton Eskimos. Just an aside, I don't understand why more of these guys don't do the CFL option. Maybe I am just not understanding the opportunity or process that Canada has. Also, again, I'm not surprised the Pats picked this guy up.


Simeon Castille played in four games for the Bengals, and he was the nickel back early in the season for the team. He is at least a dime back, and he could be a starter, maybe as a free safety.

The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team update

Here is the update on The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team. There were seven players that when given the chance impressed coaches enough to make the active squad. There were six players that were waived but then put on apractice squad (mostly their own teams, but Titus Brown was signed by the Browns after being cut by the Dolphins. One retired from football instead of trying the NFL. There are 13 players out of 39 on the list who will be with their teams when the season starts.

Xavier Lee - QB 6'4" 232 Florida State Baltimore Ravens
Lee was moved to TE from QB and dropped not far into training camp.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis - RB 5'11" 220 Mississippi New England Patriots

Digger Bujnoch - OT 6'5" 290 Cincinnati New York Giants
OK ... I have to admit that Digger was going to make OldCleat's All Did Not Get Drafted Team mostly because of his dad, Glenn Bujnoch, former Bengal guard. But Digger was a pretty good player in his own right. Bujnoch was placed on injured reserved instead of being cut by the Giants because of a sprained knee.

Robert Felton - OG 6'4" 313 Arkansas Buffalo Bills

Tommy Blake - DE 6'3" 272 TCU - tryout Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tommy Blake was a highly regarded prospect but had issues with clinical depression and social anxiety disorder that made him miss several games his senior year. He had a tryout, at least, with the Buccaneers, but it doesn't appear that he was signed. I can find no additional information on him.

OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team ... Maybe not

The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team has some updates. Some are good, some are, well, not so good.

The only quarterback on the team, Xavier Lee, was moved to tight end by the Ravens. He didn't make it to first cuts, much less last cuts. So the team isn't going to have a lot of passing. Be interesting to see if there is another undrafted QB that makes a team. Dorien Bryant from Purdue was a top OldCleat pick to eventually become an NFL starter. Oops. Bryant failed his physical with the Steelers. I can't find that he's hooked on any where else.

More later.

thankyouverymuch,
OldCleat

OldCleat Draft and Undrafted Update: Injury Bug

OldCleat just recommends 'em, but they have to play. And to play, they have to stay healthy. Well, that ain't happening.

In redrafting the Bengal's draft, I would have taken Justin King over Bubba Caldwell for the Bengals in the third round. Barely. Well, King tore his toe ligament in the first preseason game and is out for the year. Caldwell is fighting for the No. 3 wideout position for the Bengals.

In the fifth round, I would have taken Jonathan Goff and Alvin Bowen over Jason Shirley (as well as a few other players). Goff injured a vertabrae (a fractured transverse process) and is out indefinitely. Bowen has a torn ACL and is probably out for the year. The big news about Shirley, all this according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, "is that he faces a Sept. 24 trial date in Fresno, Calif., on three misdemeanors: hit-and-run, driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol content of .08 or higher, the Fresno Bee reports. It will be his second trial. In June, a jury failed to reach a verdict after three days of deliberation. The trial had been scheduled to begin Aug. 27, but a judge at a hearing Thursday said he would give Shirley's lawyer more time to acquire and review transcripts of the first trial."

The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team, with updates, I picked Nehemiah Warrick as one of the top players not to get drafted. The Giants signed him. Warrick hurt his knee in the first preseason game and the Giants cut him. The tough thing is, while many teams keep several safeties because of special teams, there are more strong safeties coming out of colleges than free safeties. So we shall see about Warrick. Vince Hall, another top OldCleat pick, looked impressive in early Rams camp but was waived because of a hamstring injury.

Good news, though, Ali Highsmith is impressing the Cardinals staff. And Wesley Woodyard played very well for the Broncos and is moving up in an injury-depleted staff.

thankyouverymuch,
OldCleat

OldCleat's All Did Not Get Drafted Team

Here are the guys that didn't get drafted who should have. It is The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team, The OldCleat All Did Not Get Drafted Team 2008. The biggest surprises to me are Ali Highsmith and Vince Hall. Not all of these guys will make an NFL team (especially Xavier Lee), but most will. I'll bet there are five to ten potential starters.
