Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

Sirius NFL commentators mentioned that the third highest percentage of active players is made up of the UFA's. They based this on each Draft Round vs. the UFA's. There is approximately 22% of the current NFL players that were signed as UFA's. Just something to think about.

Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

The Redskins home page mentioned 3 existing QBs on our roster. We have Casey Bramlet in NFL Europe and now 2 more via the draft and UFA. That makes a total of 6!

What happens to all of these QBs???

I know Brunell won't last much longer, but how can they utilize 3 young quarterbacks and a back up who has only started a handful of games?

They'll carry three on the active roster, probably another on the practice squad if any are decent, and someone (or two) will likely be cut. Including Todd Collins assuming Brunell is ok to go by training camp.

Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

You all local to DC might remember Marcus Mason, he went to Georgetown Prep. iirc he finished as the all-time leading rusher in MD high school history. I saw him play once, he carried 4 times for 4 tds and then was taken out of the game. No clue why he didn't make it at Illinois, but he was quite impressive at Youngstown.

Oh I remember him. I went to G'town Prep and played football there. He was the best RB in our school's history. I never played with him b/c I graduated in '96, but he set like 8 Maryland rushing records. He was All-Met offensive player of the year 2002. Kid's a beast. But he got kicked off the team at Illinois for getting caught taking money from a booster. He was very impressive at Youngstown.

Check this kid Mason out. He's pretty sick. He seem's to have great vision and he makes some great cuts at full speed without losing a step. I hope we found something here.

I guess you're suggesting he be our #3?

Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

IF they weren't drafted it tells you something. Snyder always does this, signs a bunch of non drafted guys and none of them amount to a hill of beans. Surprised he only signed 9 this year.

Every owner on every team signs a bunch of players that don't get drafted. Often times, later round prospects prefer not to get drafted because it gives them more freedom to sign where they want to.

Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

If Hickman can make the team as a special teamer and (maybe) a third-down specialist, that would free us up to find a decent DT to take some of the double-team heat off of Griffin. I'm trying hard to be optimistic.

Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

At least one of these nine will make the team. If Peterson signs, my money's on him. The article cited by Smoot said about 22% of the league's rosters started as undrafted rookies. Given the numbers, there are some good players out there - we just need to find'em (Hey they found A. Pierce awhile back - it could happen again).

Maybe a few out of the crew will make it. Joe has ALWAYS been good at finding good undrafted players.
