Josh Portis, QB, California of Pennsylvania — Portis has more baggage than a luggage store, but he’s an intriguing gamble nonetheless. He was a highly touted QB at Florida, got in trouble there and transferred to Maryland, and then wound up in Division II. He managed to last there, but he got in more trouble with the cops. He’s a mental case, but a wildly athletic one. He’s probably not a QB at the next level, but if a team can find a way to inject him with some maturity he could be useful somewhere on the field. He certainly has much better than late round athleticism.
Darrin Walls, CB, Notre Dame — Walls is a strange story — he was a three-year starter at a high-profile school, but he was somehow snubbed for the Combine. He made up for it as his pro day with a solid 4.39 in the 40, and some nice athleticism in other areas. He’s experienced, he worked through some issues after his sophomore year, and he’s mature and competent. In short, he’s a nice depth pick who could become a starter in a year or two.

Marc Schiechl, DE, Colorado School of Mines — Here’s a guy from a truly obscure school. He’s got game, though — he is the all-time Division II leader in sacks, and fourth all time in tackles for a loss. He’s too small to play DE, but as a rushing linebacker he could certainly be a nice twist for coordinators to throw in to catch an opponent off guard.
