I thought this guy played well vs the Rams.

As an undrafted rookie? Hell, yeah! We hit paydirt with several UDFAs this year...

Curiously, the one position we've not done well with UDFAs - offensive linemen

I don't know if thats on scouting or on coaching. I mean Dan Roushar is okay but he is no Aaron Kromer.

Actually Roushar is terrific and every bit that Kromer is; in fact, I'd argue this team's scheme, execution in the run game is better now than it was under Kromer...

It's the talent, coaching; look, part of the advantage of being a UDFA vs a late round pick is that you can pick your best opportunity, not only for a roster spot, but playing time...

Got to offer a more coin to sign better o-linemen who inexplicably (not really, just p*ss-poor, nepotism-hired scouts) fall through the draft; develop them and sign them to cost-effective contracts as veterans...

Imagine where we'd be right now if we'd signed LG Andrew Norwell, Alejandro Villanueva, La'el Collins, Matt Skura as a UDFA?

And don't even get me started on late round picks we didn't have because Payton has target fixation on a couple of players and lacks good draft management skills...
