2012 All-Undrafted Team
-
Thoughts?
WR Patrick Edwards, Houston
Buzz: Edwards had a sterling career for the Cougars, finishing with 291 receptions for 4,507 yards and 43 touchdowns. He also was a good punt returner after battling back from a gruesome broken leg (he ran into a parked golf cart parked behind an end zone) when he was a freshman. He is a small guy (5-9/172) but isn't a blazer. He's also strictly a slot receiver who can be sloppy on his routes.
WR Dwight Jones, North Carolina
Buzz: Jones was a five-star recruit in the 2007 class, and for various reasons, his career took a while to get going. But he finished his career with 152 catches for 2,163 yards and 16 TDs. He had 85 receptions for 1,196 yards and 12 scores last season. Jones had a relatively mediocre Senior Bowl and lacks top-end speed. Scouts also noted that for a guy who is 6-3 and almost 230 pounds, he can be bothered by press coverage.
WR Eric Page, Toledo
Buzz: He left school after his junior season and surprisingly wasn't selected. Had he remained in school, he was a lock to become the NCAA's career leading receiver. He left Toledo with 306 catches for 3,446 yards and 25 TDs; Ryan Broyles holds the NCAA career record with 349 receptions. Page also had five return TDs in his career. Page doesn't have elite speed, and given that he is just 5-9, that likely scared numerous teams.

Weren't Vontaze Burfict and Chase Minnifield also undrafted? They were both highly touted as even possibly 1st rounders, but they don't get picked. WTF?

I really wish we could have landed Page. I think that guy is going to be this year's Dane Sanzenbacher for the Broncos if he makes that team. Just one of those guys who isn't the biggest or fastest but just makes plays.

Patrick Edwards isn't a "blazer?" He runs a 4.3!
