And yet about 25% of all NFL 53-man rosters will be UDFAs. That's about 425 guys during any given season that the drafters were wrong about. How do you even count the number of DRAFTED players who are out of the league or underperforming that they were wrong about?
It's fine by me if message board jocks want to evaluate players by draft status. I just hope McVay doesn't care about it. It's a flawed tool for evaluation.

Hey, hey, hey. What makes you think Canada wants him?
He would be better off playing with Kenny Britt than The Rams

Well .... DGB has had 3 years in the League and Spruce is going into his 2nd, After Spruce has 3 years in the League I'll bet his career will out-Shine DGB's!
Spruce is a Team Player, a True Football player that gives 110% all the time! He takes nothing for granted. the same things can not be said about DGB so far!

Curious where you stand with guys that don't know where the sun rises?
I heard that 25% of the NFL is undrafted players....that sounds like 400 players...
I was looking at a possible Rams roster...wanted to put it somewhere...search wasn't helping...but it was interesting to compare the salaries of the players....I could see where you keep a cheaper alternative at various positions...even tho they may not be better players...comparable....but usually younger and cheaper.

Check it out if you can...
Mack Hollins....a beast outta UNC....plays ST's....understandable. He's DGB with...better attitude???? And ST skills.
Still worth a look

How many undrafted players each year? I know about 220 or so get drafted, and a large % of them make the team from 5th round down. Undrafted guys? Well, there's 347 D-1 schools so.....

Of course drafted players will make the team in their first year. Management almost has to do that to justify draft decisions and cost, even when a player turns out not to be as expected. You have to look past that first year to judge success or failure. A three-year test seems about right, unless failure is obvious before then (e.g. DGB).

I am a huge Mizzou fan, but I do not want him on the Rams..now. I think McVay is really trying to build something with the core we have in place. Should they try him out? Sure! I think if there is an "ouchie" in Training Camp, yes and see what you can get out of him. Three year ago (heck, two years), I would have said yes and get Brian Quick out of here.
Also as someone said earlier, I have not seen him work as hard and depend on his athleticism. Plus, in Springfield MO, the circles are small around here and my stepson met him and he seemed to want to be about that life instead of a football player.

Drafted players make the team, and only a few undrafted players do. When you look at how many undrafted players there are, the % are just totally out of whack.

You talkin about Mike Sims-Walker? Hey, lol I fell for that hype. Came so close to buying his jersey before he even played for us.

Says a lot about the great California school system to me
I believe that our TE's like Everett, Higbee & Hemingway can the the Red Zone Nightmares instead.

If Fisher was in charge I could easily see him being brought in - I was pro-DGB during his draft year, I really thought he could be a bit of a matchup beast, but I was worried about his work-ethic back then, he really hasn't improved by the sound of things, so I'd stay well away now.
Love this quote from an NFL OC on him: "We had him in for a visit and put him on the board and he was completely lost. Whoever takes him better have a plan for him because it could be rough early on."
He's NOT a McVay kinda guy at all. As was previously mentioned by @OldSchool sounds like the GRob of WRs.
