Who cares when they were signed, or where? These are guys that went undrafted and made an impact in this league. The point couldn't be simpler. There ARE diamonds in the rough, and you just have to hit on one every now and then. What, do you expect an 80% success rate? 50%?

Of course you aren't going to strike gold every single year. But you can't just say they're all "PS fodder", as if none of them have any chance. History proves you wrong.

2007
PT
2008
Moore

2009

2010
Ivory

2011

2012

2013
Bush

2014(the last season with Pace)
Coleman(maybe)

We're talking about a trend where under Reese and Pace, the FO had a propensity for landing UDFA gems. Who's responsible for scouting the UDFAs?

•225 bench - 19 reps
•Vertical jump - 38.5 inches
•Broad jump - 10-foot-6
•20-yard shuttle - 4.41 seconds
•60-yard shuttle - 11.60 seconds
•3-cone drill - 6.92 seconds

This is where we make our money. Drafts are our Manchester by the Sea. Depressing and hopeless. Bet we find a speedy WR that not only takes the top off but out plays Cooks. Then some nobody defender ends up making half the tackles in PS.

I think this guy makes the team, Saints always do well with undrafted WR's.

OMG.... can't believe we signed an LSU player! All kidding aside, I do truly hope he can make it. As previously said, QB play at LSU has been spotty of late.

Stills plays for Miami as the number three receiver and actually he's better than Snead.

How so? Stills had 440 yards in 2015(first year with dolphins) and three touchdowns, Snead had 984 yards and three touchdowns the same year...

Stills had 726 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2016, while Snead had 895 yards and 4 touchdowns...

Snead has had a better career with Drew than Stills had with Drew; if you want to compare each in the same offense...

Stills was accurate in 2014. Brees didn't throw as much to Stills because Graham was on the team and Colston was on the team. Further, Stills was not traded because of his play because if you actually look at his game log stats for that year, he hardly missed a target.
