    Since virtually everyone has given up on the draft by the end of the second round, isn't it time to start beating the bushes for those guys who won't get drafted but should be brought onboard to see what they can do?

    Whats the general rule of thumb? Usually one or two of the UDFAs make the final roster, right? Or is it fewer?

    Keep an eye out for Marquez North. Talent that has been hindered by injury. Boom or bust potential R7 or UDFA.

    Robbie Anderson temple WR

    We get him and North and combine their DNA to clone the perfect WR

    Depends on position but it could be 0. PS is another story.

    I wish jets fans weren't such hypocritical idiots who have mental breakdowns over literally every pick made every single year

    That is what being a fan will do. Until they can win consistently the fan base will change its mentality.

    If it's Hack or Geno brother, Hack away. Hack, smart average QB > Geno, dumb average QB.

    The Jets got Matt Miller's 9th rated wideout (Peake) and 14th wideout (Marshall) in the 7th and UDFA rounds. Love it.

    It's an Aussie invasion: The Jets signed Utah punter Tom Hackett as an undrafted free agent. He will compete against fellow countryman Lac Edwards, a seventh round pick from Sam Houston State. Should be an interesting battle, mate.

    Happy to have both these guys here!

    It's nice when you grab a guy you really wanted.

    He actually was an UDFA! We're talking about Tom Hackett, P, Utah, aren't we? ;)

    Hard times for those of us, who wanted as much (1st team) snaps for B. Petty as possible...

    I guess this is telling us something about Petty?

    So, outside of Hackett, were any of our UDFA's worthwhile? seems we always get the bottom barrel guys....

    Every year there is a slim chance these guys make it through - for those who think this is a total waste of time think "snacks"

    The fullest list I have seen - and for those too lazy to google I will try to put up some stats - views
    Doug Middleton DB App. State Hard hitting box safety

    Robbie Anderson WR Temple Tall but very thin WR - good 40 time and can make the difficult catch

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1886746/robby-anderson



    Kyle Friend OC Temple Strong and powerful, good leader but arm length a major concern

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1998924/kyle-friend

    Tom Hackett P Utah Punter from Oz - has really strong leg

    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1996595/tom-hackett



    Ross Martin K Duke Kicker but long shot leg strength an issue and few touchbacks on kick offs
    http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1998160/ross-martin

    Quenton Bundrage WR Iowa State
