So, the NFL draft is done and the free agent situation is shaking out.  It wasn't a great draft for the MAC....Quentin Rollins went in round 2 to Green Bay, and then two DL's---CMUs Letterious Walton and Kristjan Sokoli went in the 6th round.  Finally, Da'Ron Brown of NIU (WR) went in the 7th.

Perhaps most surprising was that Titus Davis was not picked in the draft. He was named as a UDFA by the Chargers, but I think there was a lot of anticipation that he would be drafted, particularly over Brown.

Hustle Belt has an update on where MAC players are headed and you can check there to see if there are any updates.

You can see above where BG's players landed.  It is sometimes tough to tell, but it appears that it is a straight UDFA deal for Martin, Lynch and Montgomery and a try-out for Adjei-Barimah.

It wasn't a great day for the MAC, but the last two years had unprecedented top-five picks, so maybe some course correction was to be expected.  We'll keep a close eye on the training camps waiting to see if the Falcon prospects can make the roster and realize their dream of playing in the NFL.  Either way, they will always be champions in our hearts, whether they make the NFL or not.

Updates:

Thomas Schmeltz reports that Jude Adjei-Barimah will not make a mini-camp appearance....and the following on DJ Lynch.

In other news: Kansas City pulled it's contract offer from DJ Lynch. He'll be in mini camp w/ Patriots this weekend. Lynch's knee scared KC.
