I missed the point and said <5% but now that I see what you are saying more clearly, I'll say 10 - 15%.

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.

Chiefs are pretty typical.

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.

They try harder. Like a fat girl sucking a dick.

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.
