With our draft over and guys whos names are coming off the board like Greg Hardy and Jonathan Dwyer that I'm shocked to see are still out there who are some guys we should be paying attention when the draft some to an end? There should be plenty of players that would be drafted almost any other year still sitting there. Are any good 3-4 D line prospects still up for grabs? I'd love to see us address our depth on the line still.

Ugh there's still a whole round left. No telling who'll be left by then.

One guy still available, as of now, is DE George Selvie from South Florida (6'5" 315 lbs. ) . I remember he had like 15 sacks as a soph. but I hadn't thought much about him since. Just looked it up and he had 5.5 as a junior and only 3.5 as a senior. Quite a drop from his 14 1/2 as a soph. Guessing he never stepped it up the last 2 years.

You're right, man, this draft was stacked. I thought they'd go the UDFA route at RB, but they obviously saw that as a priority.

3-4 DE, DE/OLB transition guys, a TE, WR, and maybe a punter, too - that's what I'd like to see.

Rich Gunnell , WR, Boston College

- left BC as their all time leading receiver, had a great career.

- was Matt Ryan's favorite target the year they made it to number 2 in the rankings

- had a great career capped of with an excellent bowl game vs USC.

If we are looking to pick up a WR in UDFA, I would take a serious look at Freddie Barnes from Bowling Green. I realize that the guy is not a burner and didn't play against the best competiton, but that kid put up some historic numbers and catches everything.

Freddie Barnes, WR, Bowling Green

I think he'd make a good fourth or 5th wideout, he doesnt have elite speed, but he's a hell of a blocker and catches everything that comes his way (set the NCAA record for single-season receptions and broke some of Randy Moss' MAC records).

Plus he started off as a college QB so we have him for option plays as well.

And as an added bonus for me, I get to see a player from my Alma Mater on my favorite NFL team...

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/WR-Brandyn-Harvey-will-work-out-at-Eagles-local-day.html

Harvey is considered a real sleeper for the draft but he’s generating a little buzz and could wind up getting multiple free-agent offers if he goes unselected. He’s got good size at a shade over 6-3, 201 pounds, and he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds at his pro day. A former track standout in high school, Harvey’s vertical jump was 40 inches and he posted a broad jump of 10 feet, seven inches, which is tops what any receiver did at the combine.

He caught 53 passes for 694 yards and five touchdowns last season and excelled in the Wildcats’ upset of Temple with nine receptions for 142 yards and the game-tying touchdown.

Harvey is raw and will need some work, but he has the frame and athletic ability that teams look to develop. Stay tuned.

Sweet! Anyone know anything about him?

Quick Google tells me that a lot of people thought he'd be a 2nd or 3rd rounder before slow runs at the combine and his pro day. Could be an upgrade over some of our CB stiffs, anyway.

Overview First-team All-Big Ten as a junior, when he started to live up to the hype as a top-rated recruit from California's fertile Long Beach Poly.

His four interceptions in 2009 were twice his total from the previous two seasons as a starter, and his seven pass breakups gave him a career total of 16. A physical corner, Warren's 66 tackles were also a career high (he made 52 in both 2007 and '08).

Despite the honors given Warren, his technique is less than stellar, which will cost him at the next level. Some teams will project him as a free safety because of his physicality, average straight-line speed and lack of fluidity on the edge. Other teams might view as a zone corner with the athleticism to improve. Either way, it may be difficult for him to leap into the top 100.

Analysis

Read & React: Reacts quickly to throws in front of him, although his footwork is not always sound. Struggles to get to jump balls even when in ideal position. Could improve anticipating routes.

Man Coverage: Quick hip turn and feet to change direction but is not fluid in his movements. When he finds the ball, has the hand-eye coordination to make a play but doesn't have great hands. Comes out of his high, slow backpedal early and gets turned around to give up easy completions. Loses his balance when trying to plant, affecting his ability to close. Plays a lot of press-bail coverage, yet is inconsistent staying with quicker receivers downfield. Must work on getting his hands on the receiver within the five-yard area to knock them off their route.

Zone Coverage: Pounds and wraps up receivers making receptions in front of him. Jumps routes when quarterback locks onto a receiver. Jumps underneath routes to make tackles. Poor backpedal, allows receivers to eat up cushion.

Closing/Recovery: Physical closing on receivers. Takes wasted choppy steps coming out of his backpedal. Body control when closing in zone coverage is erratic. Has trouble finding the ball consistently and sometimes fails to get his head around. Can lose track of his man and will mug receivers when looking back to the quarterback.

Run Support: Works hard to get off tight end blocks on the edge when supporting the run. Is not strong enough to rip off consistently, put will attempt to force plays inside and reach the sideline. Backs typically don't elude him once in the grasp. Stays home against misdirection plays and cutbacks.

Tackling: Secure tackler in the open field who brings his hips and wraps with authority. Strong enough to knock the ball out of the receiver's hands during or after the catch is secured. Effective arm tackler but bends at the waist to tackle in space instead of dropping his hips, will miss tackles against NFL backs. Lunges and leaps at the feet of running backs when supporting the run, which is not acceptable at the next level.

Intangibles: Loves the game. Plays with passion and toughness. Directs other defensive backs into position. Father, Alvin, played football at New Mexico State, his godfather is former USC and Chicago Bears safety Mark Carrier, and cousin, Chuckie Miller, was a defensive back for UCLA, the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions.

Doesn't sound too bad. Combine runs can be overrated anyway. We saw Shonn Greene who had "slow" combine speed outrun defenses at least a few times this season.

Hope he can beat out some scrub like Coleman.
