Interesting read from Our Lads survey on draft 2005/2007
It’s truly shocking that so much great talent is found in undrafted free agency. A lot of that talent doesn’t walk into rookie camp and take a two-deep spot right away. No, they become good because of coaching, hard-hat determination, and a drive to succeed. Nevertheless, udfas come at a much cheaper price than any pick before the 6th round – they need to be cultivated.
What’s not shocking is the obvious need to find your cornerback, running back, tight end, and wide receiver talent in the first two rounds. For each of those positions, 1st and 2nd round were the rounds with the highest rate of two-deep talent over the last three NFL seasons: 47%, 50%, 37%, and 45% of the two-deep talent at each position, respectively, was acquired in the first two rounds. Those are sizeable numbers not to be ignored.
Get talent at CB, RB, TE, and WR early or you’ll be waiting for them to develop into contributors
Good read not sure if the numbers in the chart given have changed since 2005/2007
Surprised looking at the chart you would not draft a OL in the first since most that are playing/ starting 2 deep on most teams can be found UDFA/or later rounds in the draft.
