I'm not a videographer but occasionally I dabble ;-) Here's a video report I pulled together for yesterday's BGA Premium practice coverage:

As of this morning former wide receiver Drew Estrada, who played last fall at Baylor, is the only Dartmouth grad who is being reported as having signed an undrafted free agent contract. He'll have a shot with his home-state Houston Texans. This graphic tells the story:
Yale strong safety Rodney Thomas was the Ivy League's lone draft pick, going to the Indianapolis Colts in the seventh round with the 239th pick.
The 6-foot-1½, 195-pound Thomas, who flashed a 41-inch vertical during testing, had 11 pass breakups after making the switch from linebacker. Thomas was a first-team All-Ivy League selection last fall.
Here are the other Ivy products who are reported to have signed so far:
Prince Emili, Penn, DT – Buffalo Bills
E.J. Perry, Brown, QB – Philadelphia Eagles
Aaron Shampklin, Harvard, RB – Dallas Cowboys
Liam Shanahan, Harvard/LSU C – New England Patriots
Eric Wilson, Harvard/Penn State, OL – New Orleans Saints
Several other players of local interest signed as well:
Julius Chestnut, Sacred Heart, RB – Tennessee Titans
Josh Sokol, Sacred Heart, C – Minnesota Vikings
Benton Whitley, Holy Cross, DE/OLB – Los Angeles Rams

EXTRA POINT
You know that old Groucho Marx bit about how he'd never belong to a club that would have him as a member? Trust me, I'm the last person I'd ever go to for investing advice.
So here's some advice for those who are afraid of throwing their money away in crypto and would rather lose it somewhere else.
Buy up really nice houses close to interstate highways and sit on them for a few years. Today those houses are underpriced because of the unrelenting wall of sound from so many cars and trucks whizzing by.
Tomorrow, when the electric car/truck revolution takes hold? Blissful silence and soaring house values!
Legal disclaimer: Investing in stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, money market funds and harebrained schemes about buying houses near interstates involves risk of loss and public humiliation.
