There is at least one interesting name who wasn't drafted last weekend or who wasn't signed as an undrafted free agent: Oklahoma State's Adarius Bowman.
Bowman is living proof that NFL teams now care about character. He was arrested in the weeks prior to the draft and he has, remarkably, gone untouched. He was expected to be a top choice prior to last season before he was injured. He was a productive player for the Cowboys and he has NFL size.
Bowman had the numbers to be drafted. But slow 40 times in recent months and his arrest have kept him off teams' radars. It's really an intriguing story. This kid has ability. Football speaking, he deserves to be signed. Really, he deserved to be drafted. But teams look for more than football these days and the fact that Bowman is still unsigned proves it.
