TRACKER
Here’s the sequence in which the names came in while we were live tracking the signings on Saturday and Sunday. These are all reported signings or agreements, but as noted above, they could change.

Last updated on Saturday, April 25th at 8:15pm ET
It was previously reported that Texas A&M WR Quartney Davis was signing with the Cowboys. He is reportedly headed to the Minnesota Vikings instead.

PLAYER PROFILES
DT Garrett Marino (via The DraftNetwork):

Garrett Marino projects as a pass rush specialist at the NFL level. An interior defender who can be rotated in on obvious passing situations, Marino’s niche role is small in the grand scheme of things, but can be an impactful one. His first step quickness and savvy hand counters make him difficult to land punches on — but physical limitations will also make it nearly impossible for him to command an every down role. May be forced into UDFA range due to athletic profile — but worth a shot.

RB/FB Sewo Olonilua (via NFL.com)

When going through a scouting checklist for running backs, Olonilua fails to gain check marks in several categories, but he’s still an alluring prospect with a unique combination of size, speed and an ability to create favorable angles despite a lack of elusive in short spaces. He’s a better runner outside than he is inside, but that must change in the pros. If he can trim down to improve his burst and give a more determined effort in pass protection, he might be able to find work as a RB3/RB4.

DE Ladarius Hamilton (via NFL.com)

Played as an odd-front end for much of 2019, but will likely be targeted as a 4-3 base end as a pro. Hamilton plays with good toughness and attitude, but his movement is heavy and extremely rigid. You won’t see him making a bunch of tackles, but he does have edge-setting strength and determination. He has steadily improved as a pass rusher, but athletic limitations could make it challenging to translate his college production into the pros.

LB Francis Bernard (via ProFootballNetwork)

To sum up, Bernard is a wrecking ball enforcer for the Utah Utes and looks the part of an NFL-ready linebacker. Bernard displays borderline elite play recognition, as well as NFL-ready instincts. He’s a playmaker against the run and the pass and he is the ‘quarterback’ of the Utah defense. Francis Bernard can join Eric Rowe, Garrett Bolles, and Marquise Blair as recent top-50 picks in the NFL Draft from Utah.

Bernard can play as a MIKE or a WILL linebacker in the NFL and reminds me of fellow Pac-12 star linebacker Eric Kendricks. Much like Kendricks, Bernard’s “size” and lack of elite athleticism will keep him out of the first-round but will make him a steal for whichever team scoops him up afterward.

RB Rico Dowdle (via NFL.com)

There are strengths and areas that need improvement, but when it is all said and done, Dowdle has pro size, vision and toughness as a runner. His elusiveness is created with vision rather than wiggle and he’s more determined than punishing as a finisher. His tape was great to start the 2019 season but faded after an injury in early October against Florida on his first carry. While he’s handled third-down duties, he needs to become a better pass-catcher and pocket protector as a pro. He may not be fast, but there is plenty of burst for inside/outside running. Dowdle has the tape and traits to become a three-down backup or committee running back.

WR Aaron Parker (via NFL.com)

Later-round prospect who wins with good size and fantastic ball skills. Parker’s high school basketball background shows up on 50/50 throws. His body control, timing and hand strength translate on any level of football. He’s not fast and is too content to win in the air rather than with clever route running. He’s instinctive working zone-beaters underneath and his toughness as a run blocker will earn him points. He’s a talented ball-winner as a big slot, but a lack of long speed and separation quickness make improved route-running a top priority for his step up in competition.

TE Sean McKeon (via MaiznBrew.com)

McKeon projects best as an in-line “Y” receiver at the next level and someone who has a chance to crack a roster as a third/developmental tight end on the depth chart. He is a willing-enough blocker and improved there in his time in Ann Arbor, but will need to add more strength to his frame to hold up in this area at the next level. There is not a lot of explosion, burst or separation to his game and his opportunities mostly come when he is working in the soft spots on the defense, though he has extremely soft hands and is a player that is capable of cashing in on opportunities he gets in the passing game. He was a solid college tight end, but without the athletic traits or ability to flex out wide, this is probably a prospect that waits things out until late on day three and potentially for undrafted free agency.

EDGE Ron’Dell Carter (via CBSSports)

Carter was a force for the Dukes with 23.5 sacks and 48 tackles for loss in his three seasons as a contributor there. As a senior, the rocked-up 6-3, 269-pounder had 12 sacks with a ridiculous 27 tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

His pass-rush moves need some sharpening, but there’s no doubting Carter’s NFL-caliber explosiveness and bendy ways around the corner. Plus, at his size, he sets a rock-solid edge.

WR Stephen Guidry (via The DraftNetwork):

Stephen Guidry presents as a developmental receiver prospect at the pro level. Guidry is fairly raw still, he played just two seasons of FBS ball after transferring in as a JUCO to MSST in for 2018-2019 seasons. Guidry has a notable athletic profile and good length at his disposal but flashing bodies over the middle can produce negative results and he’s too often stuck on defenders to avoid frustrating lapses. He’ll need to become a better route technician to command high snap volume.

S Luther Kirk (via The DraftNetwork)

Luther Kirk did not appear on any watch lists entering the season but has since catapulted up many. He is a long and lanky prospect on the back-end of the Illinois State’s defense and known for his range and ball skills. Recording five interceptions during the 2018 season, teams were cautious throwing into his coverage.

Kirk’s defensive leadership is often seen throughout the communication of the secondary and with the specific assignments assigned to each player. Kirk, a two-time team captain, still has plenty of questions to answer after taking a leave of absence for personal reasons and missing the entire 2017 season.

OT Terence Steele (via NFL.com)

Four-year starter and team captain with desired NFL size and length but a lack of functional bend and reactive movement is hard to get past. He’s an intelligent, experienced right tackle who works to his abilities on a fairly consistent basis. He struggles when his length can’t save him against moving targets in the run game and against sharp rush counters in pass pro. Despite his leg stiffness, he does a nice job of taking on opponents in front of him, but NFL tackles require much better reactive athleticism and recovery ability than he is able to play with.

TE Charlie Taumoepeau (via The Athletic)

Taumoepeau is a hands-catcher with a knack for finding the void between linebackers and safeties, attacking and securing to move the chains. However, he tends to telegraph his patterns, which makes it easy on defenders to drive on his breaks. Overall, Taumoepeau is an efficient receiver and try-hard blocker who is willing to run through a wall for his team, but his pedestrian athleticism might make it tough for him to stand out during camp.

Yep those two popped out at me. I am not gaga over it but the TE out of Michigan seems like a nice fit as a developmental TE but he gonna have to learn how to block on special teams.

I'm hoping the TE we signed (I think from KC?) will be our blocker. If so we have our receiver in Jarwin and our blocker. So having someone come in to compete with Schultz would be good. He does a little of everything, but just doesn't seem good enough at anything to be much of a contributor.

That is what makes him a good project.

I think these are new ones:
CBS Rank Player POS School Height Weight
240 Kendrick Rogers WR Texas A&M 6-4 208
387 Azur Kamara LB Kansas 6-3 245


EDGE Azur Kamara, Kansas (6-3, 245) - via NFL.com
Kamara has just one season as a full-time starter at Kansas and, subsequently, one season of production. Hip tightness limits his rush flow and makes his attacks rigid and linear. He’s missing instincts and feel to be able to play freely and fast against the run at this time. Putting more functional mass on his frame will be critical, if he can carry it. He’s tremendously raw and unskilled as a rusher, which might work in his favor for teams looking for a long-limbed project to build from the ground up.

WR Kendrick Rogers, Texas A&M (6-4, 208) - via The Athletic
Rogers looks like a basketball athlete in pads, showing the speed, body control and ball skills that translate to the next level. However, he relies too much on his raw ability, struggling to uncover or focus on the particulars of the position. Overall, Rogers has intriguing physical traits with his length and athleticism, but he leaves you wanting more as his game lacks sophistication, toughness or consistency, projecting as a late round or undrafted flier.

Rogers has some great hands. Makes a lot of circus catches seem easy. Great size and speed. We might have a nice redzone threat here. Wish him well

I’ve seen Kamaras name. It could have been when I was studying the draft though. I immediately thought it might be Alvin’s bro.

Over the next two weeks, Dallascowboys.com dives deeper into the talented group of undrafted rookies that will battle for a roster spot this offseason.

  • Name: Luther Kirk
  • Position: Safety
  • School: Illinois State
  • Height/Weight: 6-2/195lbs
  • Awards & Recognition: East-West Shrine Game Defensive MVP, First Team FCS All-American, Missouri Valley Conference First-Team
The Good: This dude has some range! Sideline-to-sideline, pressure, it doesn't matter...Kirk flashes his speed and length in the secondary. A great build for a safety with an impressive wingspan (73¾ inches) that he uses to efficiently close on defenders and finish the play. Had the ability to take away the best receiver he faced each week and was known to make the big play at the right time. With a game sealing interception against Western Illinois in 2018, a 10-tackle game against Top 10 ranked Northern Iowa, or a couple big pass breakups against Northern Illinois, Kirk seemed to find a way to get the job done.

The Project: He still has a long way to go as a run defender when brought into the box. Oversells on the attack and can easily lose sight of the ball carrier leading to big gains on misdirection handoffs. Also, it's concerning to see where his production from 5 interceptions in 2018 dropped to zero this past season against the same competition in the FCS. Whether that's because of different responsibilities in the secondary or just lack off opportunity, it took until his postseason game to finally get a pick.

The Summary: As it has been heavily reported over this entire offseason, the Cowboys' secondary has filled some holes but can never be too overconfident with what they have at safety. Leading into his week at the East-West Shrine Game, there were murmurs that Kirk could jump into the mid-round conversation with a strong performance. What he did, in the face of pressure, was intercept a pass and make two solid tackles that was enough to name him the Defensive MVP of the event. It was unfortunate for Kirk that he went undrafted, but this could not have been a better post-draft signing for Dallas. His flexibility to play any position in the secondary increases his chances of making the team, even though it would most likely be on special teams to start. But bringing a Garland native back home to reach his full potential with little-to-no risk is a huge win.

Over the next two weeks, Dallascowboys.com dives deeper into the talented group of undrafted rookies that will battle for a roster spot this offseason.

  • Name: Garrett Marino
  • Position: Defensive Tackle
  • School: UAB
  • Height/Weight: 6-2/290lbs
  • Awards & Recognition: First Team All-Conference USA
The Good: Marino's tape is as good as it gets. It seems as if the Southern California native had an impact on every single defensive play and it showed with 29 hurries, 8.0 sacks and nine hits in 2019. His grades from Pro Football Focus also reflected his athleticism with elite numbers as both a pass rusher and a run defender (each 90+), all while generating pressure on over 13 percent of his snaps. An ultra-positive to Marino's game is the way that he reads a ball carrier and is so quick off the line of scrimmage. His high-energy allows him to anticipate the snap and get a head start on the majority of the offensive linemen he faced in Conference USA play.

The Project: He looked like a grown man playing amongst boys in the Conference USA…partly because he was a grown man. Marino will be a 26-year-old rookie when the season rolls around this fall which partnered with his undersized frame is a troubling sign for his NFL career. Fundamentally he has a few nice moves with his hands but not a wide enough arsenal (that was shown on tape) to really outsmart opponents. His motor and energy is so sky-high sometimes that it actually hurts him in contain and losing the ball carrier. The effort is obviously there but it just spins out of control every now and again.

The Summary: It's been said many times about undrafted defensive linemen trying to make the roster, but it's a tough road for Marino as well. His age, size, and change of direction issues all make him a longshot to end up in a crowded room. But if there's one thing we've learned about that Blazers program and guys like Marino, they never take no for an answer and they're going to fight for every inch. That paired with his tape, tenacity, and motor all make him one of the most anticipated camp attendees and someone we want to see against NFL competition.

Over the next two weeks, DallasCowboys.com dives deeper into the talented group of undrafted rookies that will battle for a roster spot this offseason.

  • Name: Sewo Olonilua
  • Position: Fullback
  • School: TCU
  • Height/Weight: 6-3/240lbs
  • Awards & Recognition: NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, NFL Combine Invite, Cheez-It Bowl Offensive Most Valuable Player
The Good: Olonilua (Oh-lon-IH-loo-uh) has an opportunity to be a legitimate niche back in the NFL with his size and ability to block agile defenders. He has an innate ability to get to the next level and utilize his frame to lock on and create space, or to sit back in pass protection and move laterally to protect his quarterback. As a ball carrier, he was made for short yardage situations as he packs a punch when he lowers his shoulder to mow down a potential tackler.

The Project: Unlike his college (and now professional) teammate Darius Anderson, Olonilua takes a bit more time to get up to speed. He's not going to be a 'touchdown every play' sort of back because he's limited to running in between the tackles and struggles to find the edge with a lack of explosiveness. If the game comes down to a crucial fourth-and-1 or a goal-line situation where you just need a few feet, he's your guy. If you need a three-down back who can eat up a ton of carries, not so much. At the moment, Olonilua just doesn't possess the shiftiness to make defenders miss on a normal basis and it severely limits what he can do with the football.

The Summary: As is the case for many undrafted free agents, Olonilua specializes in one specific area and has holes in his game in others. Luckily the role of a punishing fullback and someone who can block in the backfield is something that's needed on this current Cowboys roster. Jamize Olawale has filled that position for the past two seasons but could ultimately concede the spot should someone better enter the conversation. One thing that is on the side of Olonilua is that in today's NFL, the fullback or third running back needs to be a threat in the passing game. Despite his large frame, he showed that he can still break out wide and become a receiver if needed during his time at TCU with 24 receptions. Olawale has only caught two passes with the Cowboys in 32 games. It'll be interesting to see which type of back head coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will prefer come training camp.

Over the next two weeks, DallasCowboys.com dives deeper into the talented group of undrafted rookies that will battle for a roster spot this offseason.

  • Name: Rico Dowdle
  • Position: Running Back
  • School: South Carolina
  • Height/Weight: 6-0/208lbs
  • Awards & Recognition: NFL Combine invite, East-West Shrine Game participant, South Carolina's Tenacity Award - Offense
The Good: The Asheville, North Carolina native is a really fun watch on film with an apparent natural ability that fits the position. When Dowdle has the football in his hands, he looks like a professional running back. His balance, cuts and physicality are all prevalent when he is tabbed as a ball carrier. Dowdle runs well in a straight line with his 4.54 second 40-yard-dash and isn't afraid to take on a blocking assignment in a head-on collision. His vison and decision making are next level and he's quick to recover when he is knocked off his path or breaking a tackle.

The Project: Injuries are really the main concern for Dowdle, who had plenty during his collegiate career. He was just 78 carries into his 2019 season when he left the Gamecocks' matchup against Florida with a knee injury in October. Dowdle acquired just 41 yards on 28 total carries the rest of the season. Before the injury, the biggest holes of his game were his unpolished route running out of the backfield and his struggles holding onto the football (eight fumbles in first three seasons).

The Summary: Dowdle's career came to a close with less than 500 career attempts in four seasons for South Carolina, yet he still finished as a top-15 rusher in school history and tallied over 2,100 yards. It's going to be a big 'if' on whether or not Dowdle can stay healthy during his jump to the pros. However, if he can stay on the field, there is no reason he won't be fighting for a potential third running back slot or to be a priority piece for the practice squad. His quickness and balance will turn heads when drills begin and might up his chances to surpass other UDFA signings like Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua. At the moment though, his injury history and lack of film in college have Dowdle tabbed as an underdog to make the team and would need a fantastic summer to reverse his fortunes.
