Brianmoorman4jesus Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I wonder why the NFL doesnt just make the draft a few more rounds. They make an event out of everything. They could put rounds 8-10 on Sunday and own that whole week. I thought I saw somewhere that there are more undrafted players in the NFL then drafted. That shouldn’t happen and certainly doesn’t have to. Make the draft 10 rounds. It used to be a lot more anyway. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Don't like all the UB guys, but how in the world can you question this regime in the UDFA department after Foster/Wallace? They've made a lot of "questionable" decisions, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here. These rankings are meaningless. How in the world can you accurately gauge the true value of guys who weren't even drafted? Edited May 4, 2019 by LSHMEAB 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just now, Brianmoorman4jesus said: I doubt they would have an issue with getting more players drafted. It's probably not a big issue, but extending the draft means that players have less freedom. Some players who aren't drafted are able to negotiate better deals than seventh rounders. Again, not a big issue, but the owners would have to give up something to get it--assuming they even want it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I think they picked the right 3 from Buffalo who have a shot at making the team. It is Jackson, Sills and Dodson then a load of pure camp fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious about why but he did have extensive interactions with the Bills over multiple years. Maybe he wanted out of town, or some tense relationship with a scout or coach (sometimes they tell prospects things they do not want to hear) or maybe the report was bs. I think he has a chance to stick in the NFL and get a nice start on his career at the very least, ala Namaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of these guys ever see the field? Much less have any impact. You are grossly underestimating the role of UDFAs on NFL rosters. In any given year, there are as many UDFAs on 53-man rosters as first and second round picks combined—an average of about 14 per team. In the 2018 Super Bowl, one quarter of the players on the two rosters were undrafted. Edited May 4, 2019 by mannc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Best case is that one or two guys from the list turn into decent contributors each year. If you have many more than that it is probably an indication that your roster is weak, There are always gems and Buffalo has landed quite a few over the years Freddie Jackson being an example, now Foster is another.
