They will... once they've all SIGNED... for now, they've "agreed to terms".

Not positive about this one, but I think...QB/WR/RB Bret Meyer

I'm not so sure about this. KFFL cites NFLdraftbible.com as their source on this, yet NFLdraftbible.com has Gilberry as having signed with the Giants. Draftdaddy.com also has Gilberry signed with the Giants. I'd like for KFFL to be right, because he had 10 sacks for Alabama last year, but it looks to me like it is more likely that KFFL made a typo and he signed with the Giants.

All sites I've seen seem to agree that OLs Kerry Brown, Shannon Boatman, and Devin Clark have signed with the Redskins, as well as S Kevin Mitchell and WR Horace Grant. Draftdaddy also lists Arkansas CB Matterral Richardson, Iowa State QB Bret Meyer, Oregon State C Kyle Devan, and Oregon State DE Dorian Smith as Redskin UDFA signees. NFLdraftbible also lists OT Darren Marquez, Southern Illinois as having signed with the Skins.

I think several teams talk to these players and sometimes information about the talks leak out prematurely, so nothing is for certain until the Redskins officially announce the signings. Kind of like the Brian Roberts trade rumors, but fortunately we will know much faster than we did in that fiasco. LOL.

Thats awesome. The guy had 10 sacks last year playing LDE, so hopefully he can contribute to that LE spot about midway through the season.

....What? No Wallace Gilbery? Sad face

OFA's are nice and we can all develop man-crushes on whomever we please, but lets be realistic - if even one of these guys makes the final roster that has to be considered a huge boon. Not every undrafted player is a diamond in the rough - the vast (like 95% vast) majority are simply "rough".

Heyer and Alexander were great finds. But let's not go counting on building the team through these guys. They are mostly camp fodder and special teamers who hopefully need not step in this year.

Well with the draft cut shorter it gives teams a bigger chance to find some players to make the team.

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.
