Finding someone who could be a long term starter from UDFA land is just pretty darn special and helpful to a team.
Jeff Saturday. Gary Brackett. Terrence Wilkins. Dominic Rhodes. Ryan Lilja. Melvin Bullitt.
Polian had a pretty special gift for bringing in UDFAs who ended up contributing.
Here is hoping that Ballard has picked some of that up. He hit a pretty good one in his rookie year as a GM; hopefully, the trend will continue.

If Ballard has drafts that are as productive as this year's has the potential to be (IMO there is potential for six starters and eight players who see a lot of playing time from this draft class), he won't need to hit on UDFAs.
