    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?

    I wouldn't mind the Bengals picking up Ali.

    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.

    Pedro Sosa. That knee injury killed his draft status.

    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.

    To think, he could have gone Wii, Wii, Wii all the way to Philly. Is there Roast beef on cheesesteaks?

    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.

    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 competition is going to be fierce going into camp. They were definitely concerned about the speed positions.

    Good signing IMO

    He will be battling for a roster spot with Lewis/Avant/Baskett/

    Bowman has more upside than any of those guys..... he was considered a 1st round prospect at one point. 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.
