How do these rules work? Aussie dude played pro-sports right (rugby)? 

 

Can you only get into the NFL by entering the draft? I then either get drafted (team owns my rights) or go undrafted...but from that point I'm allowed to sign a contract with any team as an UDFA. I just need to give the teams the chance to draft me, otherwise I'm not allowed to enter the league. I can't just sign a NFL contract if I never made myself available in the draft. 

 

It's just confusing because a guy like Alex Gray (from the UK) signed straight with the Falcons, but that was part of NFL international thing. 

But then when I read the Wiki profile of Adam Zaruba (from Canada), I see he is named as UDFA who signed a contract  with Eagles. The same info stands on the page of Jarryd Hayne (from Australia). I do not remember any of these guys beeing ''available'' in the draft. 

 

Hayne was well passed his use by date when he gave up the NRL (rugby league) to pursue his passion of playing NFL...Age 27-28 or something. He basically flew over and had try outs with a whole bunch of teams. 49ers gave him a go in preseason at RB after a couple of decent runs and then he flamed out because he put on too much bulk and lost his trademark elusiveness. He's just a glory hunter now but you can't knock him for trying I guess.

ELIGIBILITY RULES

 

Eligibility of New Players

A member club cannot sign a player to an NFL Player Contract or NFL Practice Player Contract, or select a player in a Draft (principal or supplemental) until such player meets one of the following requirements:

 

COLLEGE ELIGIBILITY. All college football eligibility of such player has expired through participation in college football (expiration does not include a loss of college football eligibility through withdrawal from school, dismissal or signing of a professional contract in another football league). Or,

 

GRADUATION. Such player has graduated and received a diploma from a recognized college or university prior to the beginning of the National Football League's next regular season. A diploma of graduation issued by a recognized college or university to a student under an accelerated course or program is acceptable for eligibility purposes despite the fact that the student actually attended such institution for a period of less than four years. Or,

(A "recognized college or university" means any institution listed in the Blue Book of College Athletics published by the Athletic Publishing Company, P.O. Box 931, Montgomery, Alabama 36101-0931 and/or The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System nces.ed.gov/ipeds, U.S. Dept. of Education, Washington, D.C.)

 

FIVE-YEAR RULE. Five League seasons have elapsed since such player first entered, attended, practiced football at, or participated in football games for a recognized junior college, college, or university ("recognized junior college, college, or university" means any institution listed in appropriate publications by the publishers cited in the above section). Special consideration is granted to those players whose college and/or conference allow five years of football eligibility, during all of which a player may participate full-time, as distinguished from those who "red-shirt," i.e., do not participate during one particular year. If a player under such circumstances has completed four years of participating football eligibility and elects not to avail himself of the fifth year, such player is eligible for selection in the League. Or,

 

NON-FOOTBALL COLLEGIANS. Such player did not play or otherwise participate in college football, and four League seasons have elapsed since the player first entered or attended college. Or,

 

PLAYER NOT ATTENDING COLLEGE. Any player who does not attend college is automatically eligible for selection in the next principal Draft that is conducted after four NFL regular seasons have begun and ended following either his graduation from high

school or graduation of the class with which he entered high school, whichever is earlier. If four football seasons have not elapsed, he is ineligible for selection, but may apply to the Commissioner for Special Eligibility pursuant to the conditions in the section below entitled“Special Eligibility.” If said player is not selected in the Draft for which he is eligible, he is eligible to be signed as a free agent, unless he subsequently attends college and participates in college football. In such event, he shall become subject to the rules that are applicable to players who attend college. Or,

 

SPECIAL ELIGIBILITY. Such player has been granted eligibility through special permission of the Commissioner. Any applications for special eligibility must be in the Commissioner's office no later than Monday, January 16, 2017, if the player is to be considered for inclusion in the League's principal Draft scheduled for April 27-29, 2017. No player shall be permitted to apply for special eligibility for selection in the Draft, or otherwise be eligible for the Draft, until three NFL regular seasons have begun and ended following either his graduation from high school or graduation of the class with which he entered high school, whichever is earlier. No player may elect to bypass the regular Draft to apply for a Supplemental Draft.

 

Other Eligibility Rules

 

The following additional rules have bearing on the basic requirements listed above:

 

ANOTHER SPORT. The fact that a player has college athletic eligibility remaining in a sport other than football does not affect his eligibility for the League, provided such player meets all other applicable League eligibility requirements.

 

COMPLETION OF COLLEGE GAMES. Despite the fact that a player may meet other League eligibility requirements stated here, a member club cannot sign a player to a player contract or in any manner, directly or indirectly, engage the services of a player until completion of all football games, including postseason bowl games, in which the team of the school or college of such player is to participate and in which the player is to participate. If a club violates this section, it is subject to disciplinary action by the Commissioner.

 

COLLEGE AND NFL IN SAME SEASON. No person who plays college football after the opening date of the NFL training season in any year may be under contract to, practice with, or play games for, a club in the League during the balance of that same football season.

 

REPEATED ELIGIBILITY. No person who has never been drafted in the League and who has college football eligibility remaining and who registers at a college for the fall term or semester may be signed to a contract by a club in the League until the close of the next succeeding principal draft of the League, at which time he would be eligible for selection regardless of how many seasons in excess of five have elapsed since he first registered at a college and regardless of how many drafts for which he was eligible have transpired.

 

EARLY SIGNINGS. No person eligible for a Draft (principal or supplemental) may be signed to a contract with a club in the League until he is selected by a club or, if not selected, until completion of the Draft for which he is eligible.

 

EARLY GRADUATION. Any player who expects to graduate (or graduates) before his college football eligibility expires may become conditionally eligible for the League's principal Draft (i.e., the seven-round annual draft that includes approximately 256 choices) by declaring to the Commissioner in writing his intention to graduate (or notification that he has already graduated) before the League's next succeeding regular season. Such declaration must be in the Commissioner's office no later than 15 days before the date of the opening of the principal Draft (for 2017 the deadline is Wednesday, April 12). The Commissioner has the authority to change the receipt date of the written declaration if he deems such change appropriate. If a player's written declaration of his intention to graduate is received in timely fashion and the League Office determines that he has a reasonable opportunity to graduate before the next succeeding regular season of the League, all member clubs will be advised of his conditional eligibility for the principal Draft. Any player so designated cannot be signed to an NFL Player Contract, regardless of whether he is selected in the Draft, until the League Office is advised by an appropriate authority at the player's college that he has graduated. Any player who makes such a declaration to graduate and who does not graduate before the next succeeding regular season of the League will be ineligible to sign a player contract for that season and postseason; and, if such player has been selected in the principal draft, the selecting club will forfeit its selection choice. Any player who fails to provide timely written notification of his graduation, or any player who fails to make a timely written declaration of his intent to graduate, but does graduate before his college football eligibility expires and before the beginning of the next succeeding regular season of the League, may be eligible for a Supplemental Draft.

 

ELIGIBLE PLAYER NOT SELECTED. A draft-eligible player who is not selected in a principal or Supplemental Draft is a free agent and may be signed by any club in the League, provided, however, that if such player returns to college to play football, he is subject to the appropriate provisions in GENERAL RULES OF ELIGIBILITY, REPEATED ELIGIBILITY, and/or COLLEGE AND NFL IN SAME SEASON above.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL SELECTION. Any player who is ineligible for the principal Draft, but who becomes eligible after such Draft and prior to the beginning of the League's next regular season, is not eligible to be signed as a free agent but is eligible for a supplemental selection procedure conducted by the Commissioner. The League office will schedule a maximum of one Supplemental Draft in any year to be conducted no later than the seventh calendar day prior to the opening of the first training camp. To be eligible for a Supplemental Draft, a player’s petition for special eligibility must be approved by the League office and his name promulgated to clubs no later than 10 calendar days prior to the last day on which a Supplemental Draft can be conducted. The order of selection in any supplemental draft will be established by a weighted lottery (the weakest club will have its name in the drawing 32 times, the next weakest 31 times, etc., until the Super Bowl winner will have its name in once.) Lottery chances will then be divided into three groups for the drawing, with priority going to the first group which will consist of those teams which won no more than six games in the prior regular season, followed by the second group (all remaining teams except playoff teams) and the third group (playoff teams). The procedure continues by rounds, and any club selecting a player forfeits a selection choice in the next succeeding principal draft equal to that exercised in the supplemental draft.

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck working through that Dutch. I presume the highlighted would apply. Shrugs. 

 

Personally, I'd try the business mid-term. WAY easier to decipher! 

 

Hail. 

 

*Edit* Bring back NFL walk-on's and give hope to the little guy! 

 

*Double Edit* Just apply and put on your application that your Dutch, do good porn, and have 'connections.' Simples.

With the 239th pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select Christian Sam, Linebacker, Arizona State

 

Word is that Kansas’s City still has its eyes on a few people and, if they make it through the draft, may end up cutting some of their drafted O-Lineman to pick up two UDFA ;)

Great pick Clown shoes. Expect him to go early day 3 next week all things being equal.

 

Mid-round Ro Smith type. Just a little undersized. 

 

Hail. 

 

Honestly, I had him pegged as my 6th round pick so ecstatic he was still there. 

 

Troy Fumagali was my target st 174. I think the Vikings got themselves a good all around solid tight end there. 

 

For future bragging rights sake, If any of my other targets make it through I’m just going to announce them and consider them a part of “my” draft unofficially ;) though I would’ve gone with McFadden at the same point as Wild as the value was too much to pass up. 

 

Granted, I would’ve grabbed Sam a round early so what do I know ?

.....

 

 

I was just about settling on him for my next pick too. 

 

Now, I'm in a real flux. The guy who's my favourite late rounder I honestly aren't sure if Garrett and Linehan have it in them to be inventive enough to use him properly. So it'd probably be a wasted pick. But not costly at this stage. 

 

Honestly not got a clue where to go?

 

Hail.

Everyone knows priority free agents all sign in Green Bay.

With the 241st pick the Washington Redskins select: OG Salesi Uhatafe, Utah Utes! 

 

We are delighted to bring Salesi into the o-line room. He has a strong powerful base with prototypical size for an interior lineman. He can play both RG and LG, earning 2nd team All Pac-12 honors at LG last year after playing 13 games at RG in 2016. He will need to work on technique and keep his weight in check, but is a raw talent and very coachable, as all Utah lineman are. At the very least he should provide solid depth across the interior of the line and with some coaching and hard work could even push for starting snaps. 

 

This ends the Washington Redskins 2018 draft. I will will provide a more in depth write-up of the Redskins over-all draft later. In the meantime, it's been a blast again! Thank you @Epochalypse for taking this on. I know it can be chore at times but know that for the vast majority of us, you are helping provide a great source of enjoyment.

He was drafted despite no college football. If Mailata has to be drafted, I have no idea. So I just decided he did.... :)

The Denver Broncos select Steven Richardson, DT Minnesota. 

 

A 4 year starter and good size.  Seen his draft stock all over the place, so hard to get true gauge of consensus on this guy.  Wasn't invited to the combine, so not considered top 326 according to those guys.

 

Seems to have a good anchor and good motor with some upside.
