True but maybe the NFL have learnt the lesson that success in college does not always translates to success in the NFL .Some call them system QBs. However the more versatile ones will get work .I noticed the Pats drafted Edelman with a late round pick who is a QB who can run the wildcat . I am pretty confident that this is as a countermeasure to us drafting Pat White .Not that he will ever start but he could be useful running the wildcat in practices in preparation for playing the Dolphins.

Those guys at Tulsa and Houston play in a Tecmo-Bowl style offense. The QB throws it 50-60 yards and the WR's run under it and catch it. Good find there..

I am investigating Josh Mauga, ILB from Nevada. He had a really good pro day after coming back from an injury. No one has signed him as of now. Miami is really good about hiding a small number of their UDFAs. They do it every year when the media and fan base thinks they know all of them. I have been investigating the UDFAs for years and have spoken to all the media guys going back to the 80s.
this is an area where Parcells usually does well look for him to discover something NFL-Worthy that was over looked
DE/LB Michael Hancock from FAU is going to have a tryout with the Dolphins. http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports/college/fau/blog/2009/04/five_exfau_players_in_nfl_mini.html
like WR Brennan Marion (Tulsa) chances around 5'11" & 190lbs w/excellent hands & a 4.3 forty, serious speed read somewhere the guy is a real human interest item, was homeless etc. can't coach or have too much size or speed on a team. bet the FrontOffice signs him.
He already was signed. Some UDFAs such as Marion, are signed to contracts after the draft. Others are invited to rookie camp on a tryout basis. If they impress the coaches, then they may be signed.
posted yesterday he was my choice thought I read in one of the Miami papers he was signed today Friend MrCleanany way you cut it is a good signing interesting human interest story too & a 4.3 forty Marion could be one of the gems gleaned from the afterbirth of the 2009 draft
