Foles was... disappointing. I think it's possible it just takes him longer to adjust to brand new teammates than his QB brethren. He threw a solid touchdown to his Arizona teammate, so maybe he just gets better when he's more familiar, whereas guys like Weeden and Cousins take to new surroundings like a duck to water.
Quentin Coples is a man among children.
I finally saw Alameda Ta'amu as a true nose tackle. He looked great -- I don't have the acumen to identify if he's more of a one-gapper or two-gapper, but he's got the size for two-gap football.
Isaiah Pead and Vick Ballard were, by far, the most impressive runners. Ganaway from Baylor was shit.
One other QB... the kid from Wisconsin looked really good. But he's just too limited. He's a backup prospect, maybe a 6th or 7th rounder.

Foles lost a LOT of points with me b/c he couldn't get into any rhythm with any non Arizona receiver. He completed some short passes to other receivers and runningbacks, but when he missed a couple receivers, he went to Criner, and only Criner. Even looked for him all day on one play, until pressure was in his face and tried to hit another guy quick only to have it fall incomplete.
I really didn't like that about him. Moore's STATS look like shit, but both McNutt and Posey dropped a TD pass on consecutive plays for him along with a few other drops and he actually went deep once in a while. I actually came away feeling a lot better about Moore. Seems like he really has the head for the game and his only real big flaw has been his arm.
