Taylor Martinez, QB, Nebraska

Signed as a UDFA with the Eagles, but his contract was voided when he failed their physical due to his foot injury. As an improviser, is almost at the level of Johnny Manziel, but lacks the skills to follow through with … Continue reading

UDFA. Signed by Dolphins as UDFA but released in August. Has enough athleticism, poise, experience, and passing ability to find a spot in the NFL as a backup. The comparably lower level of competition in the FCS means he may have … Continue reading

Titans, Round 6. He showed some skills as a passer in college, but his lack of mobility – which may be even worse after his knee injury – will probably keep him from being consistently successful in the NFL. After … Continue reading

Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia

Chiefs, Round 5. On the Chiefs, he should be a solid backup to Alex Smith with the potential to be a solid starter if need be. He needs to clean up his mechanics and improve his reading of defenses a bit, … Continue reading

AJ McCarron, QB, Alabama

Bengals, Round 5. I expected him to go in Round 2, and thought he had third-round skills, but he went a lot later than I, and probably he, expected. On the Bengals, he’ll make a solid backup to Andy Dalton and … Continue reading

Marqise Lee, WR/PR, USC

Jaguars, Round 2. Was a junior. Went a little lower than I and most others expected, but not by much. And he goes to a team with a growing need for a wide receiver, with Blackmon’s history of – and recent … Continue reading
