There are 3 guys that i cant believe went undraft.... Ali Highsmith of LSU Robert Felton of Arkansas Erin Henderson of Maryland as recently as 6 weeks ago, Highsmith was on being listed in mocks as a 1st round pick, after poor wrkouts, he falls out of the draft?
It has to be Adarius Bowman. He had a tremendous amount of hype at the beginning of this year. He had some attitude problems associated with him, but when healthy he can play. I remeber when Kyle Wright was the #1 player coming out of high school 4 years ago, now he is undrafted. I also like Highsmith, even though he ran a 5.0 40, I remember during the season him almost chasing down Darren McFadden.
It is a shock Highsmith didn't. Isn't Henderson Cut 'em up Ray's cousin? I don't believe anyone from Bama did. I wonder how many UDFA's that New England signs will have played college ball in Tuscaloosa? lol? Being a homer, I'm surprised Boone from the U of Utah didn't. He played both Center and Tackle. It somewhat shocks me Paul Smith from Tulsa did not. Further, Jeremy (son of Jumpy) Geathers who played at that college powerhouse UNLV did not. Not surprising that people passed on Tommy Blake (TCU) but his runnin' buddy Chase Ortiz should have.
I'm surprised that Kiffin didn't draft me. I've been sending him videos and emails. No response from Alameda. Apparently, they didn't believe me when I told them I could stop Tomlinson, and hurry the passer.

I was surprised no one took a chance on Bowman. I didn't see most of the second day, did DJ Hall, and Jake Iconguanotpronouncethisguysname (CB Wisconsin) get drafted? Not surprised that Blake didn't get drafted. People could have seen that from a mile away what with the way the WR's fell out of the first.

Jack Ikegwuonu went in the 4th to Philly. Way too early for my taste.... I wanted him in the 6th at the earliest; but he was someone I thought it was worth gambling on.
Notable signings: Lance Leggett WR Miami signs with the Browns OLB Jamelle McClain Syracuse signs with Ravens S Jamar Adams Michigan signs with Seahawks Jets sign the NCAA all time leading rusher Danny Woodhead J Leman LB Illini signs with the Vikes Paul Smith QB Tulsa signs with Jags Anthony Morrelli QB Penn St signs with Cards Jason Rivers WR Hawaii signs with the Titans Devon Bess WR Hawaii signs with the Dolphins Ryan Grice-Mullien WR Hawaii signs with Texans Kelly Poppinga (brother of GB LB) LB BYU signs with Dolphins Ben Moffitt LB USF signs with the Texans
I was watching the players from Oregon and Oregon state. Two Ducks receivers, Cameron Colvin and Brian Paysinger, could have been drafted, but weren't. Colvin has signed with the 49ers. The Oregon State players I was most interested in are kicker Alexis Serna and running back Yvenson Bernard. Anybody know anything about any of those three undrafted players?
The Seahawks have signed: Jamar Adams | S | Michigan Eric Wicks | S | West Virginia Kelin Johnson | S | Georgia Donovan Alexander | CB | North Dakota DeMichael Dizer | CB | Grambling Anthony Russo | WR | Washington Travis Brown | WR | New Mexico Michael Bumpus | WR | Washington State Matt Castelo | LB | San Jose State David Hawthorne | LB | Texas Christian Dustin Dickinson | G | Houston William Robinson | T | San Diego State
The competition is going to be fierce going into camp. They were definitely concerned about the speed positions.

Then he did poorly at the combine.... got busted throwing marijuana out the window of his car.... Hopefully, he amounts to nothing (for me, anyway). But its a good signing and worth looking to see what he can do.
