The Gamblers look like they'll go with former Northwestern star Clayton Thorson at quarterback. Thorson was a fifth-round draft pick in the NFL, but never saw the field during the regular season.
The Gamblers appeared to do well at defensive end, getting two guys - Chris Odom and Ahmad Gooden - who played in the NFL.
