More undrafted rookies the Chiefs should be sniffing..

First of all, let me say that I am not 100% sure that these players haven't signed elsewhere already. I cannot find a listing of rookie free agent signings. I can't f igure how some of these guys went undrafted, the talent is surely thee in my opinion. Tell me what you think of them, and also, if possible direct me to a site that may give a listing of who is being signed and where.

Sam Keller, NEBRASKA

Maurice Purify, NEBRASKA

DJ Hall, ALABAMA

Adarius Bowman, OKLAHOMA STATE

Davone Bess, HAWAII

Titus Brown, MISSISSIPPI STATE

Jonathon Zenon, LOUISIANNA STATE

Alexis Serna, OREGON STATE

Check NFL.com

I got my info yesterday from the NFL.com Draft tracker, if you go to the specific positions it will have an alphabetical list of players drafted then underneath that a list of undrafted players. It doesn’t say who has been signed, but that should help some.

As far as your list goes I like it alot, with the exception of Keller, not a fan at all. Serna is a 5’6” kicker, but he is very accurate. I bet his height is why he wasn’t picked. This year there are a ton of pretty good WR left in the FA pool, hopefully we snag Bowman!

I am very high on Bowman, same with Purify.

Do you know what the reason was for them not being drafted, or signed thus far?

As far as Serna goes...

I don’t care if he was 4ft 6in tall. If he can kick the ball through the uprights that’s all I need. That is more than we could say for Medlock, Rayner, Tynes…....

Both have character issues

and Bowman is hurt. Purify was arrested in 2006 on 2 counts of assualt, then a month or so later drunk driving. They are both very talented, just need to get their heads on straight.

Bowman has better upside

He’s just a stoner… both issues have involved marijuana. The most recent was possession in early April which caused him to pretty much evaporate from everyone’s draft board. He could have been a first day pick, maybe first round if he had kept himself clean.

For cryin out loud though, the guy is a beast – 6’4” 220 lbs. In 2006 he put up 14 rec for 300 yds and 4 td’s against Kansas. He was a big play threat with burner speed.

He has tremendous upside… but he’s a risk. I’d still take him over Purify any day.

I hate to sound like a Bungle fan but.....

BIG FREAKING DEAL!!! Undrafted!!! SUPER CHEAP! GREAT TALENT! Herm can straighten those kids out. WE ALL screwed up at that age, and 90+% of us didn’t have the high profile they do.

Yep

Character issues should only matter when you have millions of dollars at stake.

I agree.

And these issues usually involve the company you surround yourself with. Character issues can be dealt with in the contracts too… stipulations in contracts can solve alot of things.

have you seen my baseball?
