Hope for underdogs: There are more undrafted free agents on NFL rosters today (481) than 1st- and 2nd-round picks combined (480), per Elias.

I never would have guessed this statistic.

Money driven. It's cheaper to fill in spots with UDFAs than with Drafted players. The higher up in the draft, the more expensive, and if they're not performing, why not have a much cheaper option?
