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

Fraction of rookies, not fraction of total players.

15-19.9%

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.
