Who will undoubtedly be priority free agents...

LB Ezra Butler, Nevada
OG Robert Felton, Arkansas
OG Eric Young, Tennessee

These three graded out in the 4th round range on the draft boards I favor...

DE/OLB Tommy Blake, TCU
OLB Curtis Johnson, Clark
OG/OT Kerry Brown, Appalachian St.
OG Will Arnold, LSU
S Marcus Griffin, Texas
TE Joe Jon Finley, Oklahoma
S David Roach, TCU

These seven graded out in the fifth or sixth round range...

The Cowboys demonstrated some interest in Blake, Clark, Griffin, Finley and Roach in the weeks leading up to the draft...

REALLY hope we sign Blake. Top 10 pass rush ability at an udfa price tag. Maybe he has his troubles under controll?

Please tell me you meant Curtis Johnson.

I loved this kid if so and would so like to get him.

A headcase. I believe he was off most teams boards because of his character.

I didn't know mental illness was classified as a character issue?

doesn't really matter if it is or isn't. Hes unreliable to the point that he wasn't drafted.

I'm kinda suprised Felton wasn't drafted. He made SEC all conference. Plus he's a good character guy.

Felix is going to have to get Felton to come down and try out... another BP Bust has to go!

That's why you get him for 15K instead of 30 million, which is what he could have made based on what he did year 2 and 3 in college. If healthy, he very well could have bee a Vernon Gholston type player in the top 15-20.

Curtis Johnson, Kerry Brown, Marcus Griffin and Joe Jon Finley are all off the board...

Blake stated in a report last week that when the Cowboys brought him in for a visit that Jerry Jones told him to keep his spirits up and every thing will work out fine. I hope that is a sign that the Cowboys will at least give a tryout.

Does espn or any other website keep track of who takes who in undrafted free agency?

All I can say is the Tommy Blakw story is really sad. I went to TCU and worked out with Tommy in the same athletic gym.

Here is what i can say...if healthy, the guy is an absolute beast. He was rated as a 1st rd talent b4 the mental problems. Having said that, I am glad we didnt waste a pick on him. "Mental problems" scare me. My head says stay away.....but my heart hopes he gets a shot. If healthy, well.....he is truthfully a stud, a QB terror!

Shocked nobody has said it yet, but doesn't this whole situation remind you a lot of Demetrius Underwood?

No... bipolar disorder and depression are two very different situations...
