Right now, we only get UDFAs for the Chiefs, or we can draft a UDFA who went to another team.
It would be interesting if we allowed ourselves to select two or three UDFAs. However, I wouldn't want us to get an unrealistic advantage over the real teams if we're already getting the Chiefs' signings. Any way we could work something out to make it fair but interesting?
Hmm, I just realized that I'll get two of the UDFAs I was coveting since they signed with the Chiefs (Badger and Briningstool). So that's a win. I'll add them to my training camp roster if they look promising in camp.
I've only drafted two UDFAs in 10+ years, and interestingly, they both worked out great. I drafted Ivan Pace at ILB recently, and long, long ago I drafted an offensive lineman, Alex Boone, who ended up starting in the league for several years.
