    highly ranked TEs go undrafted

    Does Jason Peters smell bad? seriously, I'm kinda surprised that he got no love. maybe that Wonderlic score says something about how he did in interviews. seemed like a multi-dimensional pick

    also, Ben Utecht looks like a FA as well, and he was rated pretty highly going in.

    was there something we didn't know about these guys?

          Maybe people who actually saw them play and actually scouted them think they are trash, maybe they didnt read your fish wrap and mad decisions based on first hand knowledge.

                anyway, I didn't rank them highly, the people with first hand knowledge did.

                    It just proves that we can watch a kid play and do internet research all day but we don't have the same info on these guys as the professionals. Sure they miss on some but overall they're pretty good. I'm still going to be an arm chair quarterback but I know that I don't have any authority on these guys when comparing myself to NFL GM's. Some people really do believe that they know more than the GM's. That's what's really scary.

                        I think if our front office thought anything of those guys, they'd have drafted them in the 7th.

                        This years free agents are no better than those in other years.

                            If TD thought so he would have drafted him. Also TE Jason Peters and FB Travis Wilson are still available!

                              Other than his mamoth size, I am not so sure what made him so special. I had an opportunity to listen to 4 or 5 different sports shows regarding the draft on the radio and he Satelite radio on the way home. ESPN's, Sirius had a great one with Pat Kirwan and Gil Brandt, Fox Sports, and a couple others- most were not impressed and thought that he would be drafted with the sole purpose of converting him to a tackle.
