Ducks as UDFA
So far the Ducks who've gotten FA deals after not being drafted are:
Marshall to Eagles
French to Seahawks
Johnstone to Chargers
Coleman to Bucs
VA is supposedly attending a minicamp for the Seahawks

Re: Ducks as UDFA
After realizing how many QB's VA was up against, i understand why people were saying that he wasn't going to get drafted. I still think he is a stud and can have a solid NFL career in the right situation. Be the right situation Seattle!

It's amazing to me though, even though i said he wouldn't get drafted, but IMO is take him way over Cook, Hackenburg, the kid from NC State, Kessler (yuck), Hogan lol, and all the other scrubs picked after the second pick. And it's not close. In fact, I'd take both of Seattle UDFA ( Adams and Boykins) over all those guys.

Re: Ducks as UDFA
there was absolutely no belief in the game that VA (Boykin too) has, the GM's wanted the NFL prototype player. It was brutal for me watching it happen - kids from western Kentucky and Indiana got draftedbuckmarkduck wrote:mdm0302 wrote:After realizing how many QB's VA was up against, i understand why people were saying that he wasn't going to get drafted.

Re: Ducks as UDFA
Chip took that horrible qb that used to be at Florida instead of Adams. And that kid is not good at all.mdm0302 wrote:there was absolutely no belief in the game that VA (Boykin too) has, the GM's wanted the NFL prototype player.

I'm hoping Johnstone makes the roster with the Chargers, nice kid.

Re: Ducks as UDFA
I find it interesting with all of the negativity surrounding Chip when he was with the Eagles for all of the Ducks he added to the team, the Eagles are still adding a lot of Ducks to the team

Re: Ducks as UDFA
Looks like Balducci is going to SF instead. I think he's got a long, solid career as a 34 NT in the league. Nothing special, but you don't expect special at that spot, you expect someone to control the los and he does that well.

Re: Ducks as UDFA
I can't imagine Kessler making more plays at any level of competition than VA.

He's the classic, looks great vs inferior competition, but vs equal or better teams he disappears.StevensTechU wrote:I can't imagine Kessler making more plays at any level of competition than VA.

Re: Ducks as UDFA
Yet him and Jeff Driskey are pros while VA and Trevone Boykin are fighting it out for a camp spot. Makes perfect sense.buckmarkduck wrote: He's the classic, looks great vs inferior competition, but vs equal or better teams he disappears.
