Every year there are more than a few prospects left waiting and wondering why they weren’t taken in the draft.They sit and quietly contemplate whether their careers are finally over and then like that, their phone rings, usually with a front office executive of one team or another on the line. And then the fun begins, with teams vying to be the first to offer rookie free agent contracts to players who often have the talent, but questions in other areas.

Obviously, very few of these players actually end up making it over the long run with the team they sign on with, but it definitely goes to show that perseverance and luck can get you through if you put your mind to it.

With that in mind, here’s my list of the top prospects still available after this weekend’s festivities came to a close a short while ago. I’ll be updating this list with all the latest signings, as the night goes on, so be sure to check back often for the latest news.
