Matt Daniels signs undrafted free agent contract with the Rams! They are getting a player. Underestimate this kid at your own peril. He is going to play on Sunday's. Mark it.
Considering that neither Helfet or Varner are in the NFL.com database for and only Helfet shows up in the ESPN database, my hopes are not high for their names to be called on the final draft day. I think both could get invited to camps, we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed. Matt Daniels has mixed reviews on most sites, but I think he has a legit chance to get drafted in the 7th.

good for him. I was hoping the cowboys would sign him.
These guys are very high on Daniels, calling him the top safety prospect in the draft...

Congrats to Matt - wish he could have snuck in the draft, though, for selfish reasons. Duke could sure use the bump in players drafted.
You would think. I believe Conner Vernon considered entering the draft this year. Danny Coale of VT was drafted this year. Vernon Has better size, close to comparable speed and catches the ball as well or better.
So, who will be invited for tryouts? I would think Helfet, Varner. Are Hatcher and Hill still in the mix, as in interested in giving the tryout route a try?
Here's the data on Duke NFL draft picks vs. other current ACC teams, based on data for the last 12 drafts, 2001-2012:
Yep, that's right -- one-twentieth of the number of draft picks of the next LOWEST school in the ACC.Code:Sch No. Ave. DU 1 0.1 WF 20 1.7 BC 21 1.8 GT 26 2.2 MD 29 2.4 ST 35 2.9 VA 32 2.7 CL 39 3.3 NC 38 3.2 VT 53 4.4 FS 59 4.9 MI 76 6.3
I believe that will begin to change next year, but it hasn't happened yet.

Cut was on twitter yesterday with the statement that Helfet, Varner, Hill and Snyderline would make an NFL roster given the chance. One might take that as these guys are seeking tryouts with NFL teams, that Cut is promoting this on their bahalves.
Perhaps we will learn more of this near term.
He is now on the 90 man roster, and has a shot at making the team. Tight end was considered a need for them after losing John Carlson in free agency.
Here's a Duke NFL draftee
We old-timers know all about him. This is presented for the younger set.
Unfortunately, Seattle released Helfet to make room on the 90 man roster for Kellen Winslow:
