Would you rather be drafted in 6th or 7th rounds or rather

go as undrafted free agent where you can choose where you go.

It seems to me a great example of this is Brock Wright. He chose a team with a new coach who was a career Back-up TE and with a weak roster. It seems like he could not have chosen a better place to sign in 2021.



Drafted players get guaranteed money.

and I believe practice squad guys check in at about 250k per year, and those rosters have been expanded.
Brock Purdy (last pick) got signed for 800K a year for

3 years.

Sam hartman got 225K.

Huge difference.
Purdy's guaranteed money was $77k. *

I believe that is the consolation of not being drafted

But with only 7 rounds, it might be better to be drafted
6 to 1…
