Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

Just thought of another OFA signing that made an impact- Willie Parker.

There really are some good players out there now. Some need a little time and work to be solid players but, if you could find em all, I bet you could build a damn fine team with nothing but OFA's.

The biggest problem w/ OFA's is finding and developing them. Parker was hidden on his college's depth chart, same w/ Priest Holmes. Most OFA QB's need to get up to speed on the pro game. Same w/ O-linemen (I think you could build a pro-bowl line with OFA linemen BUT it would take about 3-5 years of development).

Given the time and money invested in raw talent (i.e. draft picks), teams just don't have the resources (including cap space) or interest in taking 3-5 years to develop these OFA's - only to have them sign elsewhere when they become true contributors. It is one of the downsides to the salary cap era.

The Redskins are supposed to have around 60 undrafted players at the Rookie Tryout Camp this weekend. They've got two hog-sized guard/centers coming in: Palauni Ma Sun, 6-6, 330, Oregon; and Kyle Young, 6-5, 354, Fresno State. Also another QB, Ryan Cubit, 6-2, 216, Western Michigan.

Should be interesting, hopefully we can find a few suprises in the crowd.

Welcome!
