I'm sure there's more to come, but here's how I see the UDFA class so far, in order from best to least, based on some Google research:
Tyler Clark: Was once listed as draftable, probably the headliner as a 3T.
Marcel Spears: Another guy I had at least heard of as draftable. He said on Twitter that he was going to run a sub-4.4 on his pro day that was cancelled. Who knows if that's true, but he's certainly athletic on tape (I watched some), though small. Good signing.
Scotty Washington: Hadn't heard of him but watched some youtube and he's a big dude with a huge catch radius. Listed at 6'5" 225. WRs all have an uphill battle to make it in the league because there are just so many of them though.
Isiah Swann: Hadn't heard of him either but posted intriguing workout numbers at a "virtual" pro day, plus he has good production and he's smart. Fwiw, GBNrepport.com has him listed as their 53rd best CB in the class. That doesn't mean much except that it's higher than some guys I had heard of, like Jaron Bryant and Luq Barcoo (that is more likely GBN's oversight though, but point being Swann isn't exactly nobody).
Kendall Futrell: watched a little youtube and he's basically a 226 lb defensive end who will need to bulk up and transition to SLB. But he did look pretty quick on tape and put up 11 sacks last year.
Josh Knipfel: Also happens to be GBNreport's 53 ranked guard. Ok that doesn't mean anything but worth a flyer. GBN just lists way more prospects than almost any other site, though I think they're guessing frankly.
Trey Dishon: Guess what, also GBNreport's 53rd ranked DT. Almost like the Bengals went to GBNreport.com and said give me their 53rd guy at every position. NT type.
Devway Waley: Yeah kind of uninspiring even by UDFA standards.
Clay Cordasco: I don't see him ranked on any list anywhere and can't find much about him. Maybe just camp invite? (if there is a camp)
Also, about 6 weeks ago if you recall there was a report that we had interest in Sal Cannella, a TE/WR from Auburn who would likely add weight and play TE. I can't find any indication of him having signed anywhere yet (as of 4:20 pm April 26), so he'd be a good pick up.
