Free Agent Signings Grades and Analysis
Overall Rookie Free Agent Singing Grade: A
We signed some solid players that can make the team and even start at some point.
Corey Clement RB 5’’11 220: A
Corey has potential. He didn’t have a great rushing average
his senior year, but did during his freshman and sophomore years. He has poor
long speed but is shifty enough for a bigger guy and has above average acceleration.
He also shows some power during his runs. He didn’t catch the ball much, but
does well when he catches it. He really looks like someone who could not only
make the team, but could become a contributor in the run game.
Greg Ward Jr. WR: F
Greg played QB in college, but switched to WR during the
draft process. He is simply not athletic enough to play WR.
Tre Sullivan FS: F
Too small and not athletic enough for the NFL.
Tyler Orlosky C: C+
Not athletic, but he is strong and was a team captain. He
does have some potential, but his short arms and lack of athleticism, will
likely limit him to not making the team.
Billy Brown TE: A
Billy has good size at 6’3, 254 and has the athleticism to
play in the NFL. He alos had a huge senior year with over 1500 yards and 22
TDs. He also had a huge junior year with almost 1500 yards and 10 touchdowns.
He had a 16.3 yard average during those two years. He has good hands, but will
need to work on his routes. While he doesn’t have elite long speed for WR, (his
position in college) he does have decent top speed for a TE. What can I say
about this guy but he will likely make the team and has a chance to become a
future starter for the Eagles.
Marcus Oliver ILB 5’11 238: B
Marcus is a powerful and productive inside linebacker. He is
a good tackler and forced many fumbles in college. He lacks athleticism to the
outside and in coverage, and he is poor at changing directions. That being
said, Marcus has the chance to be a first and second down linebacker in run
situations and could make the team as a backup.
Jomal Wiltz CB 5’10
174: A-
Wiltz had a good number of passes broken up during his two
years of college. He is small and will have to put on some weight, but he is
athletic enough to cover NFL WRs. He could make the team and could even be
better than the Eagles third round pick Rasul.
Winston Craig DT 6’3 288: B-
Not a bad free agent pick up. He is small for DT but big
enough that he could come in on passing downs. He has average athleticism for
his size and above average production in college. He played at a small school though
and usually you would want a player to dominate at that level if they are going
to make an NFL team. He has some potential.
