Nope.
Nope
McNutt to the Eagles. Here goes RVB?
Soup gets a guy drafted.
None who can start.
You never know until they hit the turf
I agree. I guess we are the pateiots now minus the whole talent development thing. And no avril doesnt count.
I'd hate to be the pateiots.
Following online. Did NE forfeit their pick or something?
Edit: nevermind. must've been a glitch
takes a center who didn't win the Rimmington
Pats take a rugby/special teams player
unbelievable.
Western Oregon center, eh? There's a Western Oregon now?
the Donavan Warren saga.
Of course, Warren left early; these guys all had to enter the draft.
I'm beginning to think Molk really rubbed people the wrong way with his little outburst after the bench press at the combine. Also, I can't believe Chris Polk still hasn't been drafted. He's been the best available for almost 2 rounds now.
Otherwise, I think we all know who the real Best Available player is.
that we don't know publicly. Great prospects drop for medical reasons. It's entirely possible that the doctors gave them do not draft grade. Molk has a history of injuries and the fact that he's not a real big C which also scares NFL teams.
I doubt anyone cares about the outburst. What they do seem to care about is his small stature/size and injury problems at the end of the year.
Molk to Indy soon?
Hopefully...it's our man.
that's my prediction...
that's why I stick to yard work and beer drinking. Things I do well.
Might still be right.
Edit: or not.
An Ohio U receiver over Junior Hemingway, to add insult to injury.
Inconsistant...but a beast at WR. That wasn't a shocker.
This is almost funny...if it weren't for the fact that some deserving Michigan men should be on NFL rosters by now. Here we go with the last round...we'll see.
At this point...it may be better for Molk, Hemingway and RVB to just go as free agents and not be drafted. At least they would be able to pick the team that they go to and the money is not that much less at this point. All 3 and Koger will make tremendous value players at this point.
...we DO have a legit shot at Mr. Irrelevant, eh?
Which teams are realistic possibilities to take a center at this point? I can't believe he's being passed over this much.
Raiola can't be around forever...plus he's too busy worrying about playing without regard for concussions.
BTW back in the early 00s, Andy Reid of Philly had his assistants do an analysis of all NFL draft picks and unsigned free agents, going back 15 years. What they found was that the most starters in every game over that 15 years were 1st round picks... however the 2nd most number of starters were Undrafted Free Agents. Very interesting study.
I can't believe that rugby dude from TSIO got picked ahead of Molk, Hemingway, and RVB. I bet Molk is destroying all the furniture is his house right now. I feel bad for the guy.
7th round?
Could be injuries that are keeping Molk off the board. I would have thought size issues wouldn't have been prohibitive in the later rounds. If nothing else, I hope Molk, Koger, and Hemingway get decent opportunities as free agents at least.
Good point. There may have been some red flags raised during his physical at the combine.
"Honestly, it’s so chaotic. The GMs and a lot of times even the scouts are calling about 20 players at one time. And they may even be calling the players directly. So if you have two or three of those guys, everyone is calling at the exact same time and they want a decision right then. So if I find an opportunity that’s a good home for the guy, I’m going to try to hold on to that as long as possible while I search everything else out. Some guys have only one offer. But Jake Ballard had 25 different offers as an undrafted free agent [before signing with the Giants]. Jonathan Casillas had two dozen offers. The Buccaneers, with Casillas, came to us offering to pay seventh-round money. They were going to give him a $40,000 signing bonus. And we turned it down to take $10,000 from New Orleans based simply on the opportunity. At the time, it was the right decision. He contributed to a Super Bowl champion as a rookie. And Tampa Bay went in the opposite direction. But it all depends on the individual and the situation and the teams involved.
"It can be crazy. It’s like a recruiting pitch. The defensive coordinator is calling them. The head coach is calling them. These guys are undrafted free agents so they don’t know what to believe. Everyone is selling them a dream. And it’s difficult to tell a college kid who has no money to turn down $40,000 to take $10,000. But 98 percent of the time our guys will listen because they trust we’re putting them in the right spot. And I make more money if they make more money. So turning down those offers. it’s taking money out of my pocket too. So they trust the motivation. The goal is that you put yourself in a situation to make the active roster and make that $400,000 salary then."

I forget where I read it, and I might even be making it up completely, but I swear I read someone saying, maybe it was an agent or maybe a player, that they'd rather they (or their client) be an undrafted FA than a 7th-round pick.
When was the last time a major national award winner (non-kicker/punter) from the previous year went undrafted? Come on, somebody pick him up! I feel terrible for him right now.
There was Charlie Ward... But that was for different reasons.
Oklahoma QB.
Chris Polk
The future?
just Brian Regan
from OU
To the Sooners?
Is this actually happening right now?
A Michigan man will be Mr. Irrelevant
For God's sakes, you've got the fucking Rimington Award winner still on the board!! Will someone at least take a chance on him??
Molk to San Diego.
Congrats to him!
