Chiefs sign 12 undrafted rookies

Pierre Walters, 6-5, 269, Eastern Illinois

This must be the definition of a "football guy." He has no position listed, I assume he can any position he wants, he's that good!

Top 15 players NOT invited to the NFL Combine:
DE Pierre Walters (Eastern Illinois, 6-4/269/4.78):
It's hard to imagine a player with Walters' upside and versatility going undrafted. He plays on either side of the line and is still learning how to use his hands on pass rush moves and to shed. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com

Positives: Good height, length and build in the upper body, along with good leg strength. Plays hand-down and standing up. Reads and reacts quickly to inside runs. Holds up his man while holding his ground, waiting for the back to make a choice. Gets under the pads of a tackle to get around him and push him into the quarterback. Uses his hands violently across the body of his man to pressure the passer. Good quickness on stunts to effect inside runs.

Negatives: Might not provide enough pass rush for 4-3 teams and might not be quite big enough to be a good 3-4 end option. Flashes quickness off the snap, but more of a power rusher than quick around the edge. His sacks often come when quarterback hangs onto the ball too long or steps up in the pocket. Needs more pass rush moves; his spin move is too slow to develop. Does not turn corner quickly enough. Inconsistent second effort. Could improve his backfield awareness to keep from biting on play-action and misdirection. Pedals tall and slow in zone blitzes.

Well, I hope the Donkeys go away from the bootlegs now that Shanny is gone.

From the sticky....a few scouting reports on some of these guys.


DE Bobby Greenwood, Alabama (6'5", 278 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/43977.html
ANALYSIS: Greenwood is a hard-working defender who plays smart football. He lacks the size for defensive tackle and is not fast enough to be used at end. Greenwood could develop into a back-up two-gap lineman if he fills out his frame and improves his playing strength.

DB/WR Londen Fryar, Western Michigan (5'11", 185 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/21126.html
ANALYSIS: Fryar (son of Irving Fryar) has the bloodlines and athletic skills to be a big-time prospect and productive player at the next level. He's only shown skill in spurts on the college level, and he has been labeled by NFL scouts as someone who has his own agenda.

LB Pierre Walters, Eastern Illinois (6'4", 265 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...ool/index.html
Pierre Walters/DE/Eastern Illinois: Walters was a two-time all-America at EIU, making 23 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks since his junior season. He's likely to slip into the late rounds before being pursued by the San Diego Chargers and Cleveland Browns, who use a 3-4 alignment and project Walters as a rush linebacker.

WR Taurus Johnson, South Florida (6'1", 190 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/23269.html
ANALYSIS: Johnson has shown flashes of ability the past three years, yet he has never taken his game to the next level, even when afforded the opportunity. He offers potential as a fourth or fifth receiver at the next level, only if he picks up the pace of up his play this summer.

LB Jovan Belcher, Maine (6'3", 235 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/41354.html
ANALYSIS: Belcher has been a tremendous pass rusher in college, and he makes an inordinate number of plays behind the line of scrimmage. He has the size and speed to stand up over tackle at outside linebacker in the NFL, yet he must learn to diagnose the action and make plays in reverse.

OT Cameron Goldberg, Duke (6'4", 286 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/20983.html
ANALYSIS: Goldberg is a fundamentally sound offensive tackle, with a good degree of upside potential. He has a good feel for the position, and he is a solid developmental prospect who should just get better as he physically matures.

S Ricky Price, Oklahoma St. (6'1", 195 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/40748.html
ANALYSIS: Price has the physical style that matches his size. He has a special teams mentality that will be his ticket at the next level.

CB Jackie Bates, Hampton (5'10", 172 pounds)http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/11919.html
ANALYSIS: When healthy and at the top of his game, Bates displays himself as a solid cornerback who has the skills to be used as a dime back/special teams player in the NFL
