The first guy in this thread nailed it - Jah Maine-Martin. Watch out depending on landing spot.

I’m keeping a close eye on Elijah Mitchell. He turned a JT fast 40 at his pro day, and weighed in at around 201 lbs, which I believe is going to be 10 lbs under his playing weight in the NFL. Darrynton Evans is a pretty good comp for him but I like Mitchell’s skill set better. He has enough chops to run between the tackles to go with his outside/receiving game. Definitely worth monitoring depending on his landing spot IMO.

His highlight reel looks great of course, but it includes a lot of plays where his O line overpowered opponents and the gaps were not NFL skinny. The link below shows UL against power 5 Iowa St. Watch the play of #15. He has what looks like some transferrable skills. Not a finished product yet.

Pro day numbers:

6.87 in the 3-Cone,
4.32 in the 40,
17 benches,
10-8 broad jump,
37.5 vertical
4.18 in the 20-yard shuttle.

Wait Elijah Mitchell ran a 4.32 40?!

Key to finding these guys are listening to podcasts of all the teams, preferably ones that are ex-football players and are at the training camps watching ...

My guy is Jake Funk from Maryland.

Most of those teams are going RB fairly early or at least 4/5 round though

I'm referring more to situations that seem settled but are more unclear than they appear (like JAX with Fournette last year)

Yep. Was trying to shift the discussion from "I like this dart throw" to focus on the teams. To your point, I like to spot teams that could grab late or undrafted FAs.

Cincy- potentially Mixon gone
NYJ- shallow depth chart
Houston- bunch of names, let's see who's standing at the end of the year
LAC- Ekeler complement?
Phi/Detroit- little behind/alongside Swift/Sanders
Atlanta- Mike Davis is not the answer
Carolina- augment CMC depth, especially w Davis gone
Tampa-nearly all their RBs are upcoming FAs
SF- scheme makes RB production, no locked in starter
Seattle- Carson injury history, short contract,no depth

Yeah. Summer camp and beat reports are where most of these guys first leak out from.

Another question maybe worth asking.

Is James Robinson a Philip Lindsay candidate?

Can't find any news on landing spot. Has anyone heard anything on this yet?

I can't either. Don't know what is happening with him.

If restricted to UDFAs I really like Javian Hawkins
