Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.
Just thought of another OFA signing that made an impact- Willie Parker.
There really are some good players out there now. Some need a little time and work to be solid players but, if you could find em all, I bet you could build a damn fine team with nothing but OFA's. The biggest problem w/ OFA's is finding and developing them. Parker was hidden on his college's depth chart, same w/ Priest Holmes. Most OFA QB's need to get up to speed on the pro game. Same w/ O-linemen (I think you could build a pro-bowl line with OFA linemen BUT it would take about 3-5 years of development). Given the time and money invested in raw talent (i.e. draft picks), teams just don't have the resources (including cap space) or interest in taking 3-5 years to develop these OFA's - only to have them sign elsewhere when they become true contributors. It is one of the downsides to the salary cap era.
