That and our record this year vs SB Coaches.
This isn't that team.

You can remove CHJ if it offends you, my UDFA list still buries your 5th round list.
I agree i am positive on Jaimes. But they are all either inactive or unused. Q contributed when our bottom-of-league players got hurt, sure. How many snaps has he contributed in 2021? Guyton could well be upgraded, but TT drafted a 5th round WR just two years ago and that guy sure didn’t do it.
you have your point and are forcing and contorting data to fit. The roster status as of 10/30/21 confirms that 5th rounders are a flier. UDFAs are a flier. The difference is you have unlimited UDFA options and a single 5th round pick. The aggregate odds of finding UDFAs out of the entire universe that contribute more than your 5th rounder is obvious and factually proven. Which returns us to the starting purpose of this eternal UDF v Rd5 review: if LAC could get a player than can contribute this year for a 5th round flier, should they? I say yes, get a guy that can provide proven solid rotational depth or more. You apparently want to protect that coveted Rd5 pick so we can snag another Joe Reed someday in the future.

One 5th rounder vs those 19 UDFAs. Now if we can get 19 5th rounders as well this year then im sure our depth would be much better. I agree with Critty as well , if we can trade a 5th to move up in a round or acquire a vet being dumped for salary, im all for that too but to say picking up a bunch of UDFAs will help this tea, i think is BS.
I recall a time when we werent very good a while ago and the posters here calling the part of the problem being that we had TOO MANY UDFAs on the roster. I'm talking young UDFAs that weren't getting better.
CHJ was a UDFA but at this point he is a vet player of 9-10 seasons and not what id call a UDFA anymore. Teams miss in these guys all the time too and a low % of them prove to be that good.

Im not forcing anything and you are missing the pojnt. You said we can just pick up a couple of UDFAs and can do as well than a couple of 5th rounders. Bullshit.....we signed i believe 19 UDFAs this year and who is doing anything? Jaimes is our 5th this year and will contribute at some point this year.

Maybe you could reassess based on that correction to your assumption.
I recall a time when none of our 5th round picks were doing anything for the team. I call it today.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

The Raiders gave up on running against us because they couldn’t and we were scoring TDs, while they were getting nothing. NE will go away from the run if the same thing happens tomorrow.
Do you enjoy making things up so everyone can be equally pessimistic?
