Stolen from the Falcoholic:

DT/FB Roosevelt Nix, Kent State

Nix is listed as a defensive tackle, which worked out well for him in the MAC, where he earned first-team all-conference honors in all four seasons, but at 248 pounds, he'll likely be expected to make a shift. That's why the slash-fullback part of his description is intriguing.

DL Nosa Eguae, Auburn

Eguae is a good fit for a 3-4 DE, or a three-tech guy in a 4-3 look.

DE Jacques Smith, Tennessee

Smith had a pretty impressive pro day, running a 4.9 40 and completing 27 bench press reps.

CB Tay Glover-Wright, Utah State

Glover-Wright is projected to be a cornerback or free safety. He ran a 4.36 40 at his pro day.

RB Jerome Smith, Syracuse

The Falcons signed another Syracuse player, adding Jerome Smith, the Orangemen's leading rusher last season, to their roster.

OL James Stone, Tennessee

Stone, a center, has a lot of strengths. His weaknesses are largely fundamental issues that can be overcome with effective coaching. He's an intriguing addition.

QB Jeff Matthews, Cornell

Tall, big hands, shaky mechanics but decent accuracy. Interesting backup quarterback prospect.

WR Bernard Reedy, Toledo

He's small, but he's fast and has soft hands. Has potential as a slot receiver option or return specialist.

WR Geraldo Boldewijn, Boise State

Boldewijn is the opposite of Reedy. He's got great size--he's 6'4" and 215 pounds.

WR Freddie Martino, North Greenville

Martino alternated between defensive back, quarterback, and wide receiver in high school. He set a Division II record last year with 1,680 yards on 146 receptions. He's an impressive athlete with a strong work ethic.

P Matt Yoklic, Pittsburgh

The only way this guy takes Matt Bosher's job is if Matt Bosher gets moved to free safety. I'm just being honest. Hopefully he'll have a good showing in camp and can catch on elsewhere.

ILB Brenden Daley, Hawaii

He's 6'3". 250 pounds, and apparently the Falcons are super-serious about adding as many linebackers as they possibly can right now. They certainly had success with Paul Worrilow and Joplo Bartu last offseason.

TE Jacob Pedersen, Wisconsin

You wanted a tight end? Well, now you've got one. He's kind of small for a NFL tight end, but he's a reliable receiver and a decent blocker.

S Kimario McFadden, South Carolina

McFadden worked out for the Falcons prior to the draft, and they must have been impressed by what they saw, as they've signed the safety as an undrafted free agent.

DE Walker May, Vanderbilt

He's 6'5" but only 250 pounds. He can play from a three-point stance as well as standing up, and that coupled with his size could indicate that he'd be in consideration as more of a hybrid edge-rusher.

DT Donte Rumph, Kentucky

This guy is huge, 6'3" and weighing in at 323 pounds. He's also not very athletic or explosive, which maybe goes along with being so huge.

S Javon Marshall, Vanderbilt

A strong safety from Vandy, Marshall is 5'10" and 202 pounds. He had 5.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, and one fumble recovery last season. He was a defensive co-captain and was on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

S Jestin Love, Central Arkansas

Love is 6'0", 208 pounds, and I can't find a lot of info about him out there, but he's referred to as a "physical safety," so that sounds just great.

Tarik Black and Rodgers just wanted him to tryout, he's not actually doing it. He's still focused on basketball. He's not going to make the NBA but he could make more playing overseas than he would on a practice squad.

I don't think anyone wants to take a chance on a drug user who quits on his team, I think you can handle one or two red flags but the multiple ones he has combined with being away from a team for a year, it's not a huge stretch, I guess if there was scuttle butt Chip wanted to take a flyer on him more teams would be interested but here we are.

Shame I feel bad for the guy he had a poo poo time of title, but he didn't do anything to help himself either.

Our depth at DB is nonexistent, so those guys have a real shot to make the roster. Kerr was somebody with the potential to be drafted, and our NT position is weak enough that he should stick around at least as a backup.

James Franklin could push Kellen Moore off the roster. Cornelius Lucas is gigantic and got $20,000 of the available $80,000 for signing bonuses, so the Lions must really like him. Jerome Couplin has better measureables than Calvin Pryor and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix but didn't get invited to the combine.

Franklin has a better arm than Moore (then again several of us probably do) and he's likeable in my opinion, but man I'd be stunned if he made a roster.

Other than the three guys I think have already been noted I haven't heard anything else about the Chiefs. I'm sure they're collecting guys but let me get overly excited about receivers who are terrible already you jerks :mad:

Notably Justin Jones is gigantic, 6'8, 280 lbs and is a WR in TE's clothing. Missed last year due to academic eligibility. Asa is Ben Watson's brother, but lost a year due to needing heart surgery.
Tyler Ott was one of the two rater Longsnappers in the draft, so yay I guess. Gordon is exclusively a ST pickup, but apparently James Morris was pretty okay at Iowa. Also like 3 of these guys were kick returners, so hopefully they find someone to replace Blount's kick return production. yeah....
