Id love to J Leman and Ben Moffitt here in DC, at LB, give them a chance, great college Linebackers. also sticking to the hawaii theme, Grice Mullen would be a familar target for colt down the line, good speed, great on the quick slant with colt!!

The info is up on the Skins official site. Not enough attention is paid these guys in comparison to the draftees. For the most part they've got to be as good as the 7th rounders and it's nearly a matter of chance that they didn't get selected in that last round. Some of these cats will make the roster and I'm betting at least two O-lineman from this undrafted class stick on the practice squad - it looks like that was the main focus of Vinny's effort. Wonder if any of these kids was predicted to be drafted and what round?

Defensive end Alonzo Dotson is 6-4 and 260 pounds. He played in 14 games with Redskins second round draft pick Malcolm Kelly last year and recorded 20 tackles and two sacks. His father Santana played for the Green Bay Packers in the 1990s and his grandfather Alphonse played for John Madden's Oakland Raiders in the 1970s.

You have to think that just the genetics give Dotson a chance of making the roster.

Being from NC, I would love to see the App State OL stick with us. App has won 3 straight championships and they should be able to turn out some decent pros.

Here's an article about Dorian Smith, the DE from Oregon State.

He was ranked as the 23rd best DE in the draft by ESPN NFL Countdown.

Here's a video of Kevin T. Mitchell the Safety from Illinois. He made a really nice INT in the clip.

Link to video of Alonzo Dotson stuffing the Missouri RB.

He repped 225 lbs 20 times at the pro day.
His forty yrd dash time is 4.96
His vertical jump is 31.5, which was just .5 inches below Curtis Lofton.

As stated before his Uncle played for the Packers (Santana) and his Granfather played for the Raiders back in the 70s (Alphonse). His bloodline is rich and should help him get a roster spot.
