    in 2022 it 28% if NFL was UDFA last year, some years as high as 30%-33% but a lot of them are special teamers.

    Also, year in and year out, roughly 40-50 players in a draft end up having a great to very good careers–and only 15 of them are first-rounders.

    “Great to very good” is my translation of the terms they use–it’s guys who were All-pro or Pro Bowl level but may not have gone–they track players some do really well, others average others bad-

    This means there are 40-50 guys who play like first-rounders in their career and of those
    40-50 only 15 or so were actually taken in 1st round.

    There are 25-35 guys every year that have as good a career as first rounders which also means a lot of first-rounders bust.

    In 2022

    14.5% of all NFL players 1st round
    12.5% 2nd round
    13% 3rd round
    10%-4th
    9.5% -5h
    6.5% -6th
    6% – 7th
    28% UDFA

    4th-5th round are about the same–no difference in 4th and 5th rounder
    5-6th rounders are the same–no difference
    (numbers rounded–may not be exact 100%)

    so it drops off but rounds 1-3 are not that far apart in terms of the amount of players on roster
    then it flattens in 4-5 then down in 6-7 but it is flat then the 28% of UDFA
