[quote]I did hear a few names last night about un-drafted people the Redskins are signing. I don't have the names in front of me right now, but I do recall that there was a linebacker they think will make their season-opening roster. He had a third- or fourth-round grade on their board but fell because of a slow 40 time.[/quote]


Wonder if he is talking about: LB Billy Strother, New Mexico ?

Here's where some of the udfa's you mentioned went:

de uyi osunde - cleveland

te jason peters - buffalo (as mentioned by cush)

Well shoot... I was hoping that Uyi Osunde would come here. Being that the kid is a UConn Husky (I am almost as big a UConn fan as I am a Skins fan) makes him A-1 in my book.

But even better than that, we would have had the all-name team from hell... Iffy, Ade, and Uyi.

And for the record, yes I did have a freaking blast watching college ball at the beginning of this month!

Payton was signed by Tennessee

that's a good signing for them to back up george who is still a good running back but no where near the level he once was.

Brendon Kennedy (DT, North Texas) signed with Denver

Garnell Wilds signed according to the site below, scroll down a bit you will see it

[QUOTE]During the draft, Redskins representatives told Heuer that if the player they wanted in the sixth round - Notre Dame

offensive tackle Jim Molinaro -

wasn't available, they'd pick Heuer. Molinaro ended up

getting drafted by Washington, but the Redskins (who didn't have a seventh-round choice)

remembered Heuer. The 6-5,

288-pound Heuer had been scouted by the Redskins' Shemy Schembechler, son of former Michigan coach Bo

Schembechler.

"I think this is the best

situation for me," Heuer said. "They've been very interested in me since the beginning." [/QUOTE]

couldn't find anything on heuer except that he had 13 tackles last year, 3 for a loss, and one sack.

Gotta love 4.37 speed. Special Teams player for sure, but could he challenge Iffy? Is this a ploy to get Portis his #26? Was Portis whispering "Jarrel Weaver" as well? He might just be trying to bring in safties to get rid of Iffy!!

don't know if any of these guys have been picked up, but they sound like they have some promise as either a passrushing de with some additional bulk or backup lbs:

and i know we have betts, morton, and candidate on the roster right now to back up portis but i think this guy would be an awesome change of pace back up for him and sounds like a gibbs type of running back.

and for a potential back up center after moore is cut, i think these guys could be groomed by Bugel and company to be a starter if raymer gets hurt or when he retires.

Here's the Final List as posted on redskins.com:

Ryan Boschetti, DL, UCLA
Jonathan Brewer, WR, Howard
Rufus Brown, CB, Florida State
Quinn Christensen, OL, BYU
Norman Heuer, DL, Michigan
William Strother, LB, New Mexico
John Standeford, WR, Purdue
Garnell Wilds, CB, Virginia Tech
Jafar Williams, WR, Maryland
Dennard Wilson, S, Maryland

Yeah, there it is. But there's a weird comment on the skins website. Check it out:

Quote:

The list of undrafted rookie free agents, which includes four defensive linemen and three wide receivers, is as follows:


Ryan Boschetti, DL, UCLA
Jonathan Brewer, WR, Howard
Rufus Brown, CB, Florida State
Quinn Christensen, OL, BYU
Norman Heuer, DL, Michigan
William Strother, LB, New Mexico
John Standeford, WR, Purdue
Garnell Wilds, CB, Virginia Tech
Jafar Williams, WR, Maryland
Dennard Wilson, S, Maryland

Are there really FOUR DEFENSIVE LINEMEN here?

Maybe someone on the Skins site wants more on the d-line, too!

Looks like Jarrell Weaver may have picked the Jets instead.

Rtd!
 

Redskins get Wilds, 9 others

Richmond Times-Dispatch Apr 28, 2004


ASHBURN - The Washington Redskins agreed to terms with 10 undrafted free agents yesterday, including Virginia Tech defensive lineman Garnell Wilds.

The others: Ryan Boschetti, defensive lineman, UCLA; Jonathan Brewer, wide receiver, Howard; Rufus Brown, defensive lineman, Florida State; Quinn Christensen, offensive lineman, Brigham Young; Norman Heuer, defensive lineman, Michigan; William Strother, linebacker, New Mexico; John Standeford, wide receiver, Purdue; Jafar Williams, wide receiver, Maryland; and Denard Wilson, safety, Maryland. - From Times-Dispatch Resources


First time I've seen a complete group.

Ten Undrafted Rookies Added
By Gary Fitzgerald
Redskins.com
April 27, 2004



With the Redskins having a limited number of picks heading into the 2004 NFL Draft, head coach Joe Gibbs has stressed the importance of finding quality undrafted rookie free agents once the draft ended Sunday night.
Gibbs hopes at least one of the 10 players the team has agreed to terms with on Tuesday develops into a quality starter, if not a Pro Bowl player.

The list of undrafted rookie free agents, which includes two defensive linemen, three defensive backs and three wide receivers, is as follows:


Ryan Boschetti, DL, UCLA
Jonathan Brewer, WR, Howard
Rufus Brown, CB, Florida State
Quinn Christensen, OL, BYU
Norman Heuer, DL, Michigan
William Strother, LB, New Mexico
John Standeford, WR, Purdue
Garnell Wilds, CB, Virginia Tech
Jafar Williams, WR, Maryland
Dennard Wilson, S, Maryland
Wilson is a local product who grew up in Upper Marlboro, Md., and attended DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Md. Wilson, Williams and Brewer were in attendance at the team's local workout in early April.

All of the rookie free agents, as well as the Redskins' four NFL Draft selections from last weekend, will be in attendance at the team's second mini-camp of the offseason from April 30-March 2.

Must be true! Now I've seen it twice!

that's the 3rd place i've seen wilds being called a lineman when he's a cornerback. i don't understand how all of these different papers and the skins official site r mixing up wilds' playing position. somehow i can't see a 5-11/196 pound guy being a lineman or maybe it's just me.
