The 2017 NFL Draft has come to a close and the UCLA Bruins had five guys drafted. Takkarist McKinley was a first round pick of the Atlanta Falcons. Fabian Moreau and Eddie Vanderdoes were selected in the 3rd Round by the Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders, respectively. Then, today, Jayon Brown was picked in the 5th Round by the Tennessee Titans and Conor McDermott was chosen in the 6th Round by the New England Patriots.
There are other Bruins who did not hear their names called over the past three days, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t end up on NFL rosters for training camp. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that several guys could get picked up by NFL teams as undrafted free agents. To some degree, it's probably better for some players to go undrafted. It gives players their choice of which team they choose to sign with and it gives them a chance to evaluate which system they're best suited to, the roster they are trying to make and the city in which they would end up living in.
These signings will begin at any time, so make sure to check back here, as this piece will be updated as information is made available. The Bruins who could still sign include Ishmael Adams, Cameron Judge, Isaako Savaiinaea, Deon Hollins, Randall Goforth, Eli Ankou and others, but we'll include any UCLA UDFA signing below.
