Romeo Okwara will head to the New York Giants while Matthias Farley will join the Arizona Cardinals as the post-draft scramble for free agent talent has already begun. Notre Dame finished with seven picks, the fourth-most this year of any program.

For Romeo Okwara, the next step in his maturation will come in the NFL.

He’ll do it as an undrafted free agent.

Rounds four, five, six and seven passed Saturday afternoon with only Sheldon Day’s name called among Notre Dame’s potential picks, meaning Okwara, safety, Matthias Farley, wide receiver Chris Brown, safety Elijah Shumate and receiver Amir Carlisle went undrafted.
