We all know about Bradford, Gresh, Mccoy, and Williams but here is some info from the Tulsa World about the other guys...
Keenan Clayton, a 4th rd draft pick of the Eagles has moved up to 2nd string
Dominique Franks, a 5th rd pick of the Falcons is being called the "steal of the draft" by some local media.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently ran a poll asking: "How High Can Franks Climb" on the Falcons' depth chart. The newspaper projected Franks as the top backup at both corner spots, and he could push for starting duty on special teams returning kicks.
Brody Eldridge, a 5th rd pick of the Colts has played well and earned lots of praise
Eldridge has Colts coaches raving about his versatility. The 6-foot-6, 265-pounder - who started at tight end, fullback, center and left guard for the Sooners - was drafted to help protect all-world quarterback Peyton Manning.
In addition to being a dominating blocker at tight end, Indianapolis has been delighted to discover Eldridge might be another target for Manning. Although he caught only 13 passes for 98 yards and one touchdown during four seasons at OU, Eldridge has shocked the Colts staff and Manning with his pass-receiving skills.
Manning has praised Eldridge for having good, soft hands after the rookie recorded a combined four receptions for 44 yards in the Colts' two exhibition games.
"I've always believed in my pass-catching skills," Eldridge told the Indianapolis Star. "I just never really did it."
The NFL may turn out better than college for Eldridge and some other Bedlam brothers who didn't go in the first round but appear to be going places now.
