Jimmer? Nope.
Hoffman? Nope.
Unga? Nope.
The list goes on and on of BYU players leaving BYU, not getting drafted and then going to bad situations where there are many guys or more experienced guys at those same positions.

It's a risk these guys took, this year it looks like it didn't pay off in

The article also talks about Po'Vey and De'Ondre Wesley and how they got placed

The agency got Po'Vey into the Green Bay packers and Wesley to the Ravens
