What? The vast majority of NFL starters were... “drafted” by some team, in some year, and at some selective draft position. The can’t have a “minimal impact on a whole”. Overwhelmingly, they ARE the NFL, the starters for sure. Undrafted players are the exception. I truly don’t get what you are trying to say here.

D'uh! That's a given. Everyone acknowledges that. You completely missed my point. The vast majority of NFL starters were drafted. But, they most likely all make up only around 10% of ALL players drafted over their years in the league ... if that many. The vast majority of drafted players either never make the team (or league) or do not go on to have more than a minimal impact. That's point I was trying to make.
