Dont sleep on this guy .....Good Free agent DE pickup

DE Dorian Smith | Senior

Despite having just nine career starts under his belt, Smith has been a force in his two years in Corvallis.

Last year, in primarily a backup role, he racked up a team high nine sacks while this year he has six sacks, good for third on team. He has 26 tackles on the year, including nine for loss, tied for fourth most on the squad.

He is the first OSU defensive end to be named to the first team since Bill Swancutt in 2004.

Redskins to Sign 13 Undrafted Rookies

The Redskins have agreed to contract terms with 13 undrafted rookie free agents, the team announced on Monday.
The group of Redskins prospects includes four offensive linemen, two defensive ends and a quarterback. They join 10 rookies the team drafted in the NFL Draft on Saturday and Sunday.

Here is the complete list:


REDSKINS 2008 UNDRAFTED ROOKIES
Player Position College

Shannon Boatman OL Florida State

Kerry Brown OL Appalachian State

Devin Clark OL New Mexico

Kyle DeVan OL Oregon State

Alonzo Dotson DE Oklahoma

Horace Gant WR St. Olaf College

Curtis Gatewood LB Vanderbilt
Bret Meyer QB Iowa State

Kevin Mitchell S Illinois

Matteral Richardson CB Arkansas

Justin Scott S Purdue

Dorian Smith DE Oregon State

Bryan Wilson LB Morgan State


[B]Shannon Boatman [/B]is a 6-5, 315-pound offensive right tackle. He also played some guard for Florida State, so he has some versatility. He started two years and is thought to be a good developmental prospect. Boatman was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 17, but he has been able to keep the disease in check.

[B]Offensive lineman Kerry Brown [/B]is a 6-5, 305-pound guard from Appalachian State. He started four years and was a Division I-AA All-American. He is regarded as a tough, physical lineman who needs to fine-tune his technique.



[B]Devin Clark [/B]is a 6-3, 305-pound offensive right tackle from New Mexico. He is expected to move inside to guard at the pro level, though. He participated in national Olympic-style weightlifting competitions, so he is a strong, stout player. He may have been bypassed in the draft due to recent ankle surgery.

[B]Kyle DeVan [/B]played mostly center at Oregon State. He was a three-year starter and registered 232 knock-down blocks overall. He stands at 6-2 and 300 pounds.

[B]Defensive end Alonzo Dotson [/B]is 6-4 and 260 pounds. He played in 14 games with Redskins second round draft pick Malcolm Kelly last year and recorded 20 tackles and two sacks. His father Santana played for the Green Bay Packers in the 1990s and his grandfather Alphonse played for John Madden's Oakland Raiders in the 1970s.



[B]Horace Gant [/B]is a 6-3, 218-pound wide receiver who holds St. Olaf school records for receptions with 185, receiving yards with 3,061 and touchdowns with 27. Gant was coached by new Redskins offensive assistant Chris Meidt, who held the head coaching position at St. Olaf last year.

[B]Curtis Gatewood [/B]is a 6-2, 248-pound outside linebacker who will likely play either the strong-side or defensive end in the pros. A four-year starter at Vanderbilt, he recorded 110 tackles, 10.5 sacks and one interception in his college career.

[B]Quarterback Bret Meyer [/B]joins the Redskins as one of five QBs on the off-season roster. He is expected to compete with rookie draft pick Colt Brennan and first-year player Sam Hollenbach for a backup job. He completed 233-of-382 passes for nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions as a senior at Iowa State.

[B]Safety Kevin Mitchell [/B]is a 6-0, 209-pounder who led the Big Ten in passes defended last year. He was tied for third in the Big Ten with five interceptions. He also logged 75 tackles and 11 pass deflections. Mitchell is not related to the late Redskins linebacker Kevin Mitchell.

[B]Matteral Richardson [/B]is 5-11, 194 pounds and regarded as physical cornerback and sound tackler. He started three years at Arkansas, finishing with 180 tackles, 27 pass break-ups and four interceptions. Nicknamed "Red," he should compete for a special teams job early on.

[B]Safety Justin Scott [/B]was a two-year starter at Purdue. Last year, the 6-0, 209-pounder recorded 73 tackles, one sack and three interceptions.

[B]Defensive end Dorian Smith [/B]played two years at Oregon State as a junior college transfer, but started just one season. The 6-1, 264-pounder recorded 72 tackles, 22 tackles for a loss and 15 sacks.

[B]Bryan Wilson [/B]is a 6-3, 250-pound outside linebacker who earned 2007 All-MEAC first-team defense honors. He logged 50 tackles, a team-high seven sacks and a league-high six forced fumbles. Wilson hails from Temple Hills, Md. He attended the Redskins' local college workout.

Re: Official UDFA Signing Thread
 

We still only picked up 2 LBs, maybe the team knows about Rocky Mac's recovery, and it may be ahead of schedule.

Re: Official UDFA Signing Thread
 

Neither Dixon or Henderson were in the Free Agents that we signed that is bull crap

Re: Official UDFA Signing Thread
 

Damn, was hoping Ray Lewis's brother, Keon Lattimore, would sign with us, but out of all the teams, he signed the cowgirls.

Yeah that's the one area that I feel they could have done better at improving. I have concerns about both Rocky and Washington.

Re: Official UDFA Signing Thread
 

I'd like to see them bring in a kicker to challenge Suisham.

y? He was pretty good for us last season. I think that he will get better for us this year.

I hope you're right. It's just that he didn't have to compete with anyone last pre-season either and I don't think he's at the point in his career where his job should be guaranteed. I've always liked Derrick Frost, but I liked the selection of Durant Brooks. If Frost has competition, Suisham should have competition.
