How Likely Is It For a Day 3 Players OR UDFA's To Make The Roster?

I see lots and lots of competition in camp. I just don't see many late draftees or UDFA's making the roster. And yes, someone here will be the one who will have the one or two that makes it listed among their 50 prospects.

We'll take a dozen shots in the dark. Some will be in the draft; some will in UDFA's. I don't see many late picks making the roster, even with the normal number of camp injuries.

I have us drafting WR, DT, OT, CB, LB with our first 5 picks.
We also have the picking up a free agent OG, CB and RB.

OFFENSE (25) There may not even be this many roster spots
QB - (2) - BRADY, GARAPPOLO
WR - (5) - EDELMAN, HOGAN, Amendola, draftee, Washington, Martin, Harper, Dobson, Carter
RB - (4) - LEWIS, BOLDEN, White, Gaffney, Brown, free agent
FB - (1) - DEVELIN, Iosefa
TE - (3) - GRONKOWSKI, BENNETT, Harbor, Williams, Derby
OT - (4) - SOLDER, VOLLMER, draftee, Cannon, Waddle, Fleming
OC - (1) - STORK
OG/OC (4) - JACKSON, MASON, Cooper, Andrews, Kline, free agent, Barker
ST - (1) - SLATER
I agree that there is plenty of room for competition. However, I seem a late round addition to be unlikely.

DEFENSE (25) There may be an addition one or two ST roster spots
DE - (5) - NINKOVICH, SHEARD, LONG, FLOWERS, GRISSOM
DT - (5) - BROWN, KNIGHTON, BRANCH, EASLEY, draftee, Jones, Kuhn, Kitchen, Vellano, Kearse
LB - (5) - COLLINS, HIGHTOWER, MCCLELLAN, draftee, Freeney, Bostic, Johnson, Martin
CB - (5) - BUTLER, RYAN, COLEMAN, free agent, draftee, Roberts
S - (4) - MCCOURTY, CHUNG, RICHARDS, HARMON
ST (1) EBNER, King

There doesn't seem to be many open spots. I assume they'll try and trade in to next year frequently with their late picks. RB would be my guess as to an urfa making the team. Maybe a S or CB through special teams.
