[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 734895"] Yeah, I think if you look at rosters across the league you'll find many UDFAs. It's basic math. Teams average about 7.5 picks per year including comps. That means 240 drafted players come into camp each year whereas there are 1696 spots on 53 man rosters. If there no UDFAs playing, the league would need to be populated with 7 entire draft classes. The league does come close to that. A lot of these UDFA guys cycle in and out of the league, in and out of PS, and in and out of rosters. If you look at the bottom of rosters where guys back up, play special teams or don't make the game day roster, they are fairly plentiful. They may not be THAT teams UDFA post-draft singings, but they are somebody's. Teams that don't go in for free agency will have more, those that favor FA will have fewer. Now. if one wants to look at UDFA stars, then go right ahead. As for the Packers, we're now going back to 2010 with Shields to find a "star". That's 7 years now. When you bring 25 to camp every year x 7 years = 175 opportunities, hitting on one looks like random chance. [/QUOTE]
