SEEMS LIKE WE DO OK ON ROUNDS 1-3 AND THAN MAYBE ONE PLAYER MAKES THE ROSTER FROM ROUNDS 4-7 BUT AT LEAST 2 UDFA MAKE THE TEAM EVERY YEAR...WHY NOT TRADE ROUNDS 4-7 FOR ANOTHER 3 AND CALL IT A DAY?

You can't go all bold letters on here people will say you're yelling at them! Yes we do seem to find that one or so UDFA that we like a lot

Last year's 1st thru 3rd round draft picks sucked so there's no where to go but up this year.

But I agree on last years UDFAs Aubry and Bass as being outstanding pickups.

For starters you don’t have a 4th rounder so you probably couldn’t pull off a trade up into the 3rd if you wanted to.

Late round/UDFA LB

Marco Olivas (Lafayette): 6’2 235

Id compare to a healthy Sean Lee. Gas a motor that never stops and is a natural leader.

I'm not that impressed. You can make a solid case that only 2020 has gotten you two good players from the first 3 rounds of the draft.

Parsons, Lamb, Tyler Smith, and Diggs are very impressive. They more than make up for any misses.

Those guys are studs for sure but I'm not sure they make up for the 13 other picks, who range from JAGs to busts.

we do better in the UDFA pool than we do drafting players in rounds 4-7.....Daron Bland is the exception.......
...somebody prove me wrong?

Look I'm not going to spend a lot of time doing research but off the top of my head Tony Pollard and Jake furgeson, is a fourth-round pick trying to tell me he was a bad pick? how about Dorance Armstrong? Tyler Biadsiz? Prescott, Schultz, and hitchens, doug free,?.. Pretty sure I just blew the notion of we don't do well in the fourth round out of the water so I just proved that one wrong...

here check it out I believe you just made another ridiculous overly exaggerated post without thinking just like the whole second round bust narrative is not true got a lot of guys in the second round that have worked out no team is perfect at picking...

Because they are the "premium!" picks, I swear I hate when they start talking about these picks like they're gold!!! Guys barely play, or need time and never make the game day roster!

Still waiting for Deuce Vaughn to become Darren Sproles here. :laugh:

This is why.... All these guys have been starters or good contributors. The UDFAs, sure there have been guys that made the team, but besides Bell anyone on last year's team take a lot of snaps? I guess Bass played a couple games.

Jake Ferg(4th round)
Bland (5th round)
Biadsz (4th round)
Pollard (4th round)
Wilson (6th round)
Armstrong (4th round)
Dak (4th round)

we don't treasure them...
we literally traded off rounds 4-6 to add players last year.

we get extra picks because we do value the comp pick formula.
and those hit in round 5-7 almost always.

FWIW the 2nd round is where we have really bombed relative to expectation.
All that being said we have really hit hard in round 2 when we do hit.
See Trevon Diggs.
