Staying within my fav college team (Maryland), whose games I watched, I like Jake Funk as a undrafted rookie. FWIW, on the other (defunct) board, I said the Bolts should grab Stephon Diggs with a late round pick
I think this is an apt draft profile: https://importantnonsense.com/import...sis-jake-funk/

He was the Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year his Sr year of HS. MD isn't known for it's football prowess in the country but past recent MD GPOY that hit the NFL were Dwayne Haskins and Kendall Fuller. Last year's MD GPOY was the #1 ranked overall recruit, now at Clemson, Bryan Bresee. Bryan and Jake went the same HS, which is a powerhouse outside DC and a perennial state champion.

Played against solid powerhouse college teams in the Big Ten. Check out youtubes of him. MD's Oline was not good, either. Also, has great hands out of the backfield.
Realistically, a practice squad or called up as a special teamer. But, could bloom into a few runs/game from the backfield.

When you watch tape of Tufele focus on these 3 things: anchor, push, and most importantly, his ability to disengage at the right time.

Disengaging from blockers to make a plays is what separates Tufele from the other DTs in this class.

Agreed.
He really moves well for a big man.

He’s definitely...interesting. Perhaps too much for TT’s tastes.

I haven’t done a ton of research on him and was unaware of the reason for his transfer.
Hope he interviews well, took responsibility where needed, LEARNED from his mistakes, and is a better person going forward.

Ball has some intriguing traits.

We ought to be interested.
I like Tufele let me add.
You are even convincing me about John Spanos.
Josh Ball...work in progress.

Molden is 5’10, 195 lbs.

He’s basically the same size as CHJr.
Bigger than Troy Hill.
Bigger than Mike Hilton.
Just a few pounds lighter than Marlon Humphrey.

I think Elijah Molden’s size/durability concerns are a bit exaggerated.

Just watch him play. The talent is undeniable.

In other words, Verrett 2.0...

Darden is an impressive athlete but is so small at only about 170#.
He has stayed healthy all 4 years though and had huge production.

Like his jukability, but 170# is scary light...possible flyer in round 6...

[Topcat]

I think you may underestimate his long speed.
His size is my only concern. Too small for an outside CB and will be a test of his body and toughness to play NCB.

In other words, Verrett 2.0...
