The UDFAs

John Matthews WR (5113/200/4.52pd) San Diego is a sneaky-fast slot guy with great hands and routes. He played at a low level of competition, but was consistently productive (102-1,478-21 as a senior) and numbers actually improved after star QB Josh Johnson graduated. Saw him in Texas vs. the Nation game, looked like he belonged. Solid citizen, high IQ. Not much experience on special teams. Biggest problem may be adjusting to speed and roughness of the pro game — especially beating jams.

Colin Cloherty TE (6021/245/4.78pd) Brown is a very productive (40-418-3 as a senior) small-school tight end. Does pretty much everything right as a receiver, and gives a solid effort as a blocker. Lacks strength blocking and is not an asset in-line, but can do some damage if he’s on the move. Faced Ivy League competition and looked good, but not dominant. Intelligent, high character guy. Projects to an H-back, fullback type in the pros.

Cornelius Lewis T (6034/332/5.22c) Tennessee State is an outstanding physical specimen with technique and character issues. Kicked off Florida State for fighting, he re-emerged at Tennessee State. At times he was absolutely dominant, but relied too much on brute strength against lesser competition. Has no mirror moves or kick. Has the raw tools to be great, but has put nothing together. Worth a flyer by the Colts to see if Howard Mudd can wring anything worthwhile out of him.

Tom Pestock T (6064/300/5.04pd) Northwestern Missouri State is incredibly raw, but has great tools. He came to NWMSU as a defensive lineman, but started three years on the other side of the ball. Very strong, with good use of his arms, Pestock has a habit of setting up too high and too narrow and can be beaten by speedy rushers. Though a left guard in college, he projects to a right tackle prospect for the Colts. He’ll need intensive coaching to improve, but seems to have the right attitude.

Adrian Grady DT (6013/298/5.19c5.18pd) Louisville is a guy lots of Colts fans will like because of his very quick first step and lateral quickness, but he has no pass-rush moves and isn’t as strong as his size would indicate. While he has flashed some really great moments, he doesn’t have a great motor and has a rep for taking plays off.

Pat Kuntz DT (6021/285/5.05pd) Notre Dame is more like the defensive tackles the Colts are used to. Not very big or strong, Kuntz is cat-quick, makes himself small and can be very productive. He has a great motor, is excellent at getting to the ball and has an uncanny ability to bat down passes at the line of scrimmage. Is not strong at the point of attack and can be ridden out by one blocker if he doesn’t beat him outright. Intelligent, high character guy with a good work ethic, but a rep for being a bit of a goofball. Played end at Notre Dame, but will play inside for the Colts. Best acse scenario is as a part-timer, but don’t underestimate this kid.

Tyrell Sales OLB (6022/231/4.58pd) Penn State is an athletic, instinctive outside linebacker who excels in zone coverage and is a solid open-field tackler. Hard to knock down and shows good shedding ability. Not an effective blitzer. Does not play as fast as he times and is not explosive. Has a lot of special-teams experience and that may be his ticket into the NFL. Intelligent and hard working, but has had some off-field issues.

Ramon Humber OLB (5106/224/4.56pd) North Dakota State is a run-and-chase OLB with strong blitzing ability. He played the strong side with Bisons, and seemed able to handle most tight ends and backs on routes through his zone, but may be too small to play there in the pros. Humber is, by all reports, a high character prospect.

Brandon Harrison CB (5090/205/4.42pd) Michigan is a tough but short strong safety the Colts will try at corner. Understands zone coverage well and is effective in short and intermediate zones. Is a legitimate weapon against the run, and a good open-field tackler. Is an excellent blitzer. Is a liability in man coverage, especially deep. Can’t turn around and run with most wideouts. Not a threat to intercept. Can carve out a career in specials, as he told NFL Draft Bible: “I am all for special teams, special teams all day. Whatever a team asks me to do, I’ll do, no questions asked.” Has some return experience, but is not a threat in that department. Seems like a good, intelligent kid.

Tim Masthay P (6014/198/4.80c) Kentucky is a decent-legged punter, who — like draft pick Pat McAfee — is better at hanging them up there than booming them downfield. Good athlete who is not a liability in coverage. Get punts off pretty quickly. Outstanding hands, can adjust to badly snapped balls and hold for placements. Has some value kicking off. Has almost no directional ability and his stats are inflated by all his straight-line punts. Excellent character and intelligence, but some have questioned his dedication to the game.
