Erin Henderson interests me. He was projected as a 2nd or 3rd round pick and is the younger brother of EJ Henderson. He has good size, is a great athlete, and was productive as a starter the last 2 years (including 133 tackles, 11.5 TFL, 1 sack, and 1 INT last year). I think the book on him is he's raw (he was a QB at Maryland as a freshman) and he has knee problems (must be a family thing).

Darrel Robertson, is another guy. Undersized fastball from GT. He's quick and had 7 sacks/16 TFL last year.

There are other guys, obviously, but I'm kinda floored neither of these guys got drafted.

Another is Adarius Bowman. He has character concerns and he didn't run well, but he had 127 catches for 2,200 yards and 20 TDs over the last 2 years (going over 60 catches and 1,000 yards in each season) at Oklahoma St.

Danny Woodhead (5'8" white RB from Chadron State RB) signed with the Jets.

Marcus Griffin (safety from Texas, brother of Michael) was signed by the Vikes.

Good thread;

Henderson- COMPLETELY agree here. Livin where I do i guess I had access to him (and those wonderful Blue Hens- ugh-- can you believe Im hearing complaints that Omar Cuff wasnt drafted!?)and thought he was certainly draftable (unlike Cuff).


Bowman had serious issues I read (Ourlad's?)- so much so that they could make him undrafted FA when the wknd was out. Guess they were right and other teams know about it??? Be interesting to see where he ends up.

Eagles | Dunbar agrees to terms with team
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 20:38:11 -0700

Josh Buchanan, of NFLDraftBible.com, reports the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with undrafted rookie free-agent OT Franklin Dunbar (Middle Tennessee State). Terms of the deal were not disclosed.


Still haven't seen many of the big games go, though.

Harbaugh and Childress read the Level and try to beat the Fat man to every possible draft pick and UFA out there.

According to a radio report, the Eagles have signed 7 undrafted players and they will be announced later today. According to this site, the Eagles have picked up Adarius Bowman and Terrell Golden in addition to Dunbar:

Bowman is really, really intriguing. Most commonly compared to T.O., he's a physical speciman with questionable character, work ethic, and speed, but he's big, strong, and athletic.
Yo, click it

Alright...looks like weed is his issue. He failed a piss test or weed at North Carolina, which landed him in Ok. St.

He ran a 4.67 at his pro day and he was busted for possession early this month...dropping from all draft boards.

As I noted above, there are supposedly real character issues with this cat, hinting at beyond what the draft rags may note.
However, severe issues aside, I would be very happy if they did sign Bowman. Why not? Get us some Eagles on the "Turd Watch" man! Nobody wins with nice guys.

What was the amount he was busted with, do you know?

Im just tryin to think what could be the 'severe issues' that were alluded to, seemingly beyond the pot bust at his first school?

A bad 40 time is not a 'severe issue".

Is the guy a loon?

Does he like mens feet?

Whats wrong with dude?

I saw alot of sites rakn Ali Highsmith as one of the top 15 LBs in the country--wonder what his deal is.

The DE Gillberry from Alabama is another interesting name. I saw him play in the senior bowl and thought that he was pretty good.

Wicked small, wicked slow, and got a 7 on his wonderlic. I think he had the trifecta of shortest, slowest, and worst wonderlic among all LBs at the combine.

Highsmith is smallish for a LB and ran Maurice Clarrett-ish at the combines. Dude clocked a 4.96 at 221 lbs.

Doesn't sound like anything serious. 2 weed issues in the last 3 years and he ran in the high 4.6's/low 4.7's at his Pro Day.

He went from a pre-season top 15 selection to a 3rd-4th round pick, to an undrafted player as the problems mounted. I'd also guess that he's going to enter the league under their substance abuse program since his sentence for the weed ill happen after he's with a team, which means his first screw-up is already in the books and his second would mean a suspension.

I've seen interviews with him and he normal...not rough, no crazy eyes, no bad intentions...just seems like a nice guy. That doesn't mean much, but with Mike Williams, or example, you could tell he was an asshole just from his interviews.

I remember Mark May comparing him to Calvin Johnson last summer and saying he'd be a top 10 pick in this draft.

And when I say "nothing too serious", I mean the amount of weed he was busted with.

There doesn't appear to be an assault record on him or anything like that...just has reefer madness!

FD- I recall him getting mentions and ink before anything happened with him.
I think that 1 of the talking heads not named Mayock suggested that he may be moved to TE by a pro-team but that he was a sure fire cant miss prospect from a size/talent perspective.

I think he's a WR, but could definitely see why they might consider moving him to TE given his size/speed, but if you look at his highlights he doesn't look slow. I don't know if that's simply a result of who he was playing against or if he plays faster than he runs, but he looked like a WR to me in games.

Damn Adarius Bowman's value dropped like stone huh?

Wasn't he "on the Heisman watch" not that long ago?

Stay away from the wacky weed kids!
