Assuming we take a late flyer on a QB, what about Fitzpatrick from Harvard. I don't know much about him.
KB, Boomer what do you guys know about him? Is he worth a late round pick? Or could we get him as an undrafted FA?
 
Better players still available. The guy reminds of Fiedler with a bit less mobility and a little more arm.
 
Havent seen too mcuh of him....McPherson just has too much potential to pass up with this late of a pick IMO. I really hope we get him with our next pick.

Fitzpatrick is a well-built athlete with a muscular upper body, quick feet and very good field vision. He is a player that possesses good leadership poise and smarts for the position, a student of the game who is a quick thinker and communicator on the field. He also is effective in running the one-back multiple system or operating out of a pro set. … Fitzpatrick operates mostly out of the shotgun formation, but when he does take snaps from under center, he shows decent quickness driving back to his set point.

Sounds a lot like the system we'll be running (single-back).
