If you look back at the Colts 2006 SB team, Gary Brackett, Nick Harper, Jeff Saturday, and Raheem Brock were either UDFAs or rookie waiver wire pickups by the Colts, as were Willie Parker and James Harrison for the Steelers.
The fact of the matter is that you can't fill every hole with 7 draft picks a year. You have to be able to not only scout UDFAs in May, but also other teams' cuts during the final cut down.
You aren't going to find Peyton Manning doing that, but you can find valuable role players, and in rarer cases solid starters and even Pro Bowlers.
