San Francisco 49ers: 2018 undrafted free-agent tracker
By Chris Wilson
The 2018 NFL Draft is over, and teams are scrambling to sign the undrafted free agents who slipped through the cracks. Here are the UDFAs the San Francisco 49ers have reportedly signed.
The San Francisco 49ers added nine players in the 2018 NFL Draft, but unlike last season, the Niners have not been as active in the undrafted free-agent market after the completion of the draft.
In 2017, the 49ers signed a number of UDFAs who played prominent roles throughout the season, including running back Matt Breida, wide receiver Kendrick Bourne and offensive lineman Erik Magnuson.
So far, the San Francisco 49ers have signed the following undrafted free agents, per reports:
Emmanuel Moseley, CB, Tennessee
Moseley lacks size at just 5-foot-11 and 184 pounds, but possesses 4.42 speed.
Corey Griffin, DB, Georgia Tech
The 6-foot-1, 204-pound Griffin primarily lined up at safety for the Yellow Jackets
Ross Dwelley, TE, San Diego
At 6-foot-5, Dwelley scored 10 touchdowns in each of his final two college seasons, but was primarily used as a receiver due to his subpar blocking skills.
Alan Knott, C, South Carolina
After battling injuries early in his career, Knott was consistent in 2017, and will hope to compete for a backup spot on the 49ers’ interior offensive line.
Connor Wentz, TE, North Dakota State
Connor Wentz played tight end and fullback with his cousin Carson for the first two years of his college career. While it was initially reported that Wentz signed a contract with the 49ers, it appears he was only invited for a minicamp tryout.
Jamar McGloster, OT, Syracuse
After playing sparingly his first two seasons, McGloster started 24 straight games at right tackle over his final two seasons at Syracuse.
Niles Scott, DT, Frostbrug State
The NCAA Division III star amassed 16.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks his senior season at Frostburg State University in Maryland.
Patrick Choudja, DL, Nevada
Born in Cameroon, Choudja worked his way to a starting job his senior year, logging 38 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State
At 6-foot-2 and 204 pounds, McFadden has the press-cover skills the 49ers covet, but his slow 40-time forced him off many teams’ draft boards.
Steven Dunbar, WR, Houston
The 6-foot-3 Dunbar amassed over 1,000 yards his senior season, is a good jumper and attacks the ball in the air, but lacks the speed necessary to become a deep threat in the NFL.
