What's happened to Silva?

As we type, the Kansas City Chiefs are on the clock with the 210th pick in the draft, and East Providence native and Boston College star Jamie Silva has yet to get the call from an NFL team.

Why?

Several scouts we spoke with before the draft spoke highly of Silva, particularly his skills around the ball. Silva's workout numbers weren't impressive, particularly his time in the 40 dash, but the feeling with Silva is that he was a football player, not an athlete. As colleague Jim Donaldson noted, the sum of Silva is much better than the individual parts would attest.

Most pundits figured Silva was a fifth- to sixth-round pick.
