I'm lazy, thus peeked at the answer. Question for you: is this a good thing or a bad thing? It either means that we're money in the late rounds, or that we completely hose our early round picks. My guess is a little of both.....

Hey, that's cool trivia right there.The nice thing about the spiffy new pro-football-reference database is that it allows me to easily check on things like: is this a record?

Answer: not quite, but it's pretty remarkable. Since 1980, I count only six teams with more starters who were undrafted or drafted in the fifth or later.

1984 Steelers

1980 Redskins

1985 Broncos

1981 Eagles

1988 Cowboys

1980 Bears

Remarkable. How many of those teams won the Superbowl? Congratulations.Edit. That was not very excellent, I apologize. I 'm having a bad day.

That's nice but when they traded Hasselbeck to move up 7 spots in the draft(10) to pick Jamal Reynolds Seattle used that pick(17) to take Hutch.

How they do in earlier rounds is important too.

How many were 13-3? Answer 0. How many were the youngest team in the NFL? Answer 0 I think.

Doug, can you tell if there has ever been a team that is the youngest on average in the NFL that has gone 13-3 or better? I doubt it.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what point anyone is trying to make or whom any unexcellentness may have been directed toward, but...The 1984 Broncos went 13-3 with 13 round-5-or-later starters. The 1998 Falcons went 14-2 with 12 round-5-or-later starters.

Like Murphy (yes, he got hurt but looked good before that), Jennings, Walker, Hawk, Barnett, Jones...They have some stinkers in the early rounds too...every team does.

along these lines, I remember coming across someone claiming that most if not all Superbowl winners, had a major impact player (not just a guy) who was drafted in the 5th round or later.

Doug, can you tell if there has ever been a team that is the youngest on average in the NFL that has gone 13-3 or better? I doubt it.

Last year I saw the claim that the Packers were the youngest team in the NFL, so I compared them to the Chargers, and I couldn't find any measure by which the Packers were younger. Going by average age of the total rosters, or just the starters, or just the starters plus key reserves, the Chargers were younger. So if that made them the youngest team in the league last year, they went 14-2.This year, the average age for the entire rosters are: Packers = 26.151, Chargers = 26.189, so the Packers are a bit younger. I haven't calculated it for just starters, but I suspect the Chargers are younger by that measure (because Favre would be weighted more heavily).

Both have accomplished a lot.

Clifton - 2ndFavre- 2nd (traded a first to acquire)Jennings - 2ndJones - 3rdBarnett - 1stHawk - 1stCollins - 2ndThey've been alright early, although your point above is well taken - you simply can't trade up and blow your pick - that haunted the club throughout Sherman's tenure (although it should be noted they also got Seattle's 5th in that deal which the Packers used to take - Aaron Kampman)

I guess I never really did the research. Just going off what I hear on the broadcasts.

 

[stevegamer]

And it was significantly easier back in the early 1980's with more draft rounds.

Look at the 1981 Eagles one year off a SB appearance - all these guys had multiple All-Pro selections:

Wilbert Montgomery, 6th round

Harold Carmichael, 7th round

Stan Walters, Tackle, 9th round

Charlie Johnson, NT, 7th round

Carl Hairston, DE, 7th round

Herman Edwards, S, UDFA

That's pretty solid. You need to have early picks pan out, but if you can pull off this kind of thing, you're ahead of the game.

Thats a good part of their core of the team that was really good in 78-81.

I wasn't thinking of it in terms of good or bad. A friend pointed it out to me, so I passed it along. The thing that jumps out to me about all of the players who succeeded from lower rounds is how long it took them. Only Kampman and Tauscher played right away, and Kampman took a couple of years to produce the sacks he is now. Most of the rest of those guys were on a Roster for at least 3 years before they became starters. It just shows how long it takes college players to become Solid pro players.

I remember at one point in 2002, 9 of Denver's 11 defensive starters were either undrafted free agents or gentlemen that had been cut from their previous teams for lack of performance (rather than being cut for cap reasons).

This team is young because the previuos GM (Sherman ) wasted a lot of picks that are no longer even in the league. He fell in love with players and moved up to get them. Ted had to reload and also add depth to this team.

This is true. However Thompson has certainly been up to the task.
