Top Undrafted Rookies

With the lockout still on, for now, undrafted free agents are caught in a definite state of limbo. Teams cannot contact them, they cannot sign with teams, and the likelihood any of this changes is not in sight. Still these players have go one to be vital members of their teams. Here is a look at the top ten Undrafted Rookies that the Bills should take a long look at.

10) Matt Murphy OT/OG UNLV

The Bills worked Murphy out early on, but did not take a flyer on him during the draft. A four year starter a UNLV Murphy could develop into a player that could give us some depth along the offensive line.

9) Scott Lutrus, ILB UCONN

A player who comes to the NFL fully polished. You know what you are getting with Lutrus a strong player who is not going to make many mistakes. Could make an impact on special teams at the least.

8) Jeff Tarpinian ILB Iowa

Like Lutrus a strong player from a strong program. Tarpinian is a much better athlete however and his speed could make an impact.

7) Ricardo Locketter WR Fort Valley State

Huge potential here. Ran a 4.37 40 yard dash and has the size to compete in the NFL. Good turn into a starter.

6) Mark Herzlich OLB Boston College

If it was not for a bout with cancer Herzlich most likely would have been drafted very early. Still I am surprised he went undrafted. He fits our scheme and is a high character guy. He could become a major steal.

5) Ryan Evan RB Viginia Tech

A big punishing running back is really something we are missing from our team. At the least he could develop into a short yardage specialist.

4) Steven Friday DE/OLB Virginia Tech

Other Hokie here, but this was in a pure edge rusher. Good size, good speed, and a good chance to make the team.

3) Kristofer O'Dowd C USC

If we the plan is to keep Eric Wood at guard we need to look for a center. O'Dowd is the best of the bunch left undrafted and his size sets him apart from the rest.

2) Joe Lefeged S Rutgers

If I would have heard this name in Round 4 instead of Da'Norris Searcy I would have been really happy. Lefeged is very talented and can make a special teams impact from Day 1

1) Cedric Thornton DT/DE South Arkansas

I do not think we can have to many defensive lineman. Thronton is a hard worker and will make the team if signed.

After the draft I still think we have questions in our secondary, in our interior line on both sides of the ball, and at pass rushing lineback. Getting a few of these guys could helps our team a great deal.
