NCAA Football Column: NCAAF with Michael Emmett

MarQueis Gray QB,WR - Minn: Apr 27, 10:32PM: 49ers sign...

49ers signed Minnesota QB/WR MarQueis Gray. Gray (6-3, 240) shuttled between wide receiver and quarterback for Minnesota and is expected to be a developmental H-back or tight end in the pros. He ran a 4.69 forty with a 1.59 ten-yard split and 30-inch vertical at the Combine. As a sophomore receiver in 2010, Gray caught 42 passes for 587 yards (14.0 YPR) and five touchdowns. He faces long odds on such a deep 49ers roster.

Collin Klein QB - K St: Apr 27, 10:08PM: Texans sign...

Texans signed Kansas State QB Collin Klein. Klein was a run-first quarterback at K-State, throwing just 30 career touchdown passes. With an awkward, unnatural throwing motion and little velocity, Klein was asked to work out as a tight end at the Combine, but declined. He showed enough physicality in college that he could perhaps be tried at linebacker or safety, although Klein has 4.7-4.8 speed. The odds are against Klein having a long NFL career.

Matt Scott QB - Ariz: Apr 27, 9:57PM: Jaguars add QB...

Jaguars signed Arizona QB Matt Scott. Scott succeeded Nick Foles at Arizona and excelled in first-year coach Rich Rodriguez's spread-option offense, posting a 27:14 TD-to-INT ratio and 60.3 completion rate in his lone season as a starter. He rushed for six more scores. An intriguing athlete with some explosiveness as a runner, Scott has a long way to go as a passer. Despite strong velocity, his footwork, accuracy, and decision making were all suspect as a Wildcat, and he is very raw. With the quarterback situation so dire in Jacksonville, Scott could see the field as a rookie if he makes the team.

Sean Renfree QB - Duke: Apr 27, 7:23PM: Falcons take...

Falcons selected Duke QB Sean Renfree with the No. 249 overall pick. Renfree (6-3, 219) succeeded Thad Lewis under center at Duke and started three seasons for QBs guru David Cutcliffe, completing 64.7 percent of his throws with a 50:40 TD-to-INT ratio. Renfree tore the pectoral muscle in his right (throwing) arm in the Blue Devils' bowl loss to Cincinnati, but should be ready for camp. He's drawn Matt Hasselbeck and Matt Schaub comparisons as a heady if modest-armed passer with accuracy and anticipation. Rotoworld draft columnist Alen Dumonjic studied Renfree on tape and believes he could grow into an NFL starter. Developing behind Matt Ryan will be a big plus.

B.J. Daniels QB - SoFL: Apr 27, 6:59PM: 49ers take QB...

49ers selected USF QB B.J. Daniels with the No. 237 overall pick. Daniels will likely move to running back or receiver. We are surprised to found out that Daniels is draft eligible. He started 42 games while in college and rushed for 2,068 yards and 25 touchdowns on 526 attempts.

Chris Gragg TE - Ark: Apr 27, 6:15PM: Bills add speed...

Bills selected Arkansas TE Chris Gragg with the No. 222 overall pick. Gragg (6-foot-2 3/4, 244) caught 72 passes for 1,003 yards (13.9 YPR) and seven touchdowns in four seasons with the Razorbacks. He was injury prone and underutilized in the Petrino offenses, although Gragg seemed to be coming on with a 41/518/2 line as a junior before knee and hip injuries cost him seven games as a senior. Gragg rehabbed his stock at the Combine by leading all tight ends in the forty (4.50), vertical (37.5"), and broad jump (10-foot-5). Gragg isn't going to block anyone, but obviously has NFL-caliber athleticism. The Bills continue to add speed on offense, and Gragg can be a movable receiving piece.

D.C. Jefferson TE - Rut: Apr 27, 6:11PM: Cards take...

Cardinals selected Rutgers TE D.C. Jefferson with the No. 219 overall pick. Jefferson (6-foot-6, 255) never exceeded 20 receptions in a college season, and scored just two career touchdowns. A long-armed (34 1/4") blocking tight end, Jefferson ran forty times of 4.97 and 5.00 at his March 28 Pro Day. He's not a short- or long-term threat to Rob Housler.
