The Pats look to have a minimum of eight UDFA players on their roster. Wes Welker and Larry Izzo, proved themselves elsewhere, while the other half dozen are home-grown: Mike Wright, Randall Gay, Danny Baugher*, Eric Alexander, Pierre Woods, and starter Stephen Neal. Add in the possibilities of having Gutierrez and Britt, and that number could hit double digits.
It always amuses me to hear people complaining about how, for example, the Pats missed on someone like Marques Colston. (A) 31 other teams did, too, and (B) the Pats have scored far more talent in the late rounds/UDFA market than we fans have any right to expect.
In other words--we should all thank our lucky stars the Pats have such a first-rate scouting organization. :rocker:
*Yeah, Baugher originally signed with the Bungles, but he was cut so soon that I'm counting him as a Patriot.
