By third workout I am assuming you mean third day.
I would suggeat not dropping the hamstring curls as it is difficult to strengthen them anyother "full functioning " way
If you have acess to a "total gym" you can do hamstring pull ups on a very low invline at first other wise you can do something similar on a regular incline bench. You hook your heels at the upper end of the incline and "slide up the incline. The seat must slide
Can do the same on a rowing machine.
Straight leg Heel raises is one little done but very helpful to all you will do. The hamstring curls will be "slower" because they are longer movement. Good Luck.
