Tough day for my UH Warriors. I like where Colt ended up, but would have rather seen him in S.F., Detroit, Tampa, or K.C. What was Carolina thinking? Zorn will be good for Colt and obviously likes him: "Jim Zorn liked all the intangibles ... leadership on the field," Vinnie Cerrato, vice president of player operations said on ESPN. "The guy has had a ton of success."
Looks like good destinations for all of the FAs (with DT Michael Lafaele likely to get into camp with someone too):
Davone Bess said he agreed to a two-year, free-agent contract with the Miami Dolphins. He said he reports to the Dolphins on Thursday.
Bess said he is not discouraged about going the free-agent route.
“I’ve jumped over 100 hurdles my whole life,” he said. “What’s one more?”
He also has no regrets about deciding to relinquish his senior season to apply for the NFL draft.
“No regrets at all,” he said. “One year wouldn’t have made a difference.”

And Jason Rivers has agreed to a free-agent contract with the Tennessee Titans. Rivers also leaves Thursday.
As for not being drafted, Rivers said: “Everything in my life has been hard. I’ve had to work for it. This is no different. It’s kind of silly to think it would be given to me, handed on a silver platter. Even if I were drafted, I’d still have to work for it. This is kind of humbling, and it puts things in perspective.”

Ryan Grice-Mullins said he has agreed to terms with the Houston Texans.
And Hercules Satele is going to sign with the Arizona Cardinals.
