What fraction of rookies on opening day 53-man rosters are UDFA?
This is a quiz. Multiple choice poll to register your guess to follow.

I imagine it's higher than people might expect.
15-20% I'll say or whatever number that is when the poll goes up |
Don't know about 53 man roster but I bet at least 1 guy makes most teams each yr.
|
30%
|
17-20%
|
Need more guesses before I reveal the answer.
|
I almost guessed 5-9.99, but after pondering kickers and punters I went with 10-14.99.
|
I went 5-10 range.
|
5-9.99%.
2.5 per 53 man roster |

53 guys on a team. Seven draft spots a year (plus compensatories). I guessed 10-14.99%, but now that I'm considering the numbers, I wouldn't be shocked if it's higher.

0 to 4.99.

I know we're "special" because we had a huge amount of turnover from a 2-14 season last year, but check out the Chiefs roster:
Rookies: Tyler Bray Mike Catapano Marcus Cooper Knile Davis Eric Fisher Nico Johnson Travis Kelce Eric Kush Josh Martin Bradley McDougald (was on the roster for Jacksonville, and not the practice squad) That's Bray, Martin, and McDougald. 3/10 = 30% Considering the other bad teams in the league from last year like us, plus the good teams that will likely bring that number way down, I think 15-20% is a good guess. 10-15% as well. I don't think it's higher or lower than those two. |
I couldn't wait. I did a little research. Hmm.
|
I missed the point and said <5% but now that I see what you are saying more clearly, I'll say 10 - 15%.

270 Rookies on opening day rosters 79 of those 270 are UDFAs 29.2% I was surprised it was so high. That means 191 out of 254 draft picks made the roster. That seems about what I would expect. |

Seventy nine of probably more than 800 who tried.

So 63 drafted players didn't make it but 70 undrafted did. Pretty balanced.
And I voted wrong, I did not read as fraction of rookies, I read it as fraction of the 53. Take one 5-9.99 vote and put it at the 20-24.99 category. |
