Trey Smith, Elijah Mitchell, Kenneth Gainwell, Adetokunbo Ogundeji, Brandin Echols and Jonathan Cooper are the only guys taken past the in the 5th or later who really made a dent last year. Maybe Nate Hobbs? And some really nice long-term guys like Larry Borom.
If all 4 of those 7th rounders combine into a single guy who is as useful as Trey Smith it will be a miracle and frankly an extreme outlier. I believe our 6th went to the Steelers for Ingram and the pick we got from Baltimore in the Brown deal went to the Vikings for Hughes.
I woudl say we have 5 picks that are more relevant than merely attacking the UDFA pool would be. 1, 2, 3, 3 and 4 can all be expected to have better returns than just sifting through the UDFAs and doing a nice job with your scouting.
But the 7ths aren't even useful to move up. If we bundled all of them together we might be able to get into the back of the 6th. Then maybe we could take that 6th and move up maybe 6-8 spots in the 4th?

If they ain't useless, they're near enough as to make no difference.
