Yea, I'd say drafting is not an exact Science.
But he spent a whole year on the bench first. And there are lots of examples of undrafted or low pick players who after a few years became stars.
But name another guy who as a rookie started and played most snaps on a dominant defense of an elite team, who was undrafted. When in the past 10, 20 years has this happened?
Well, you don't have to go far from Tommy, Adalius Thomas pick 186 in the 2000 daft.
Adalius Thomas: Career Stats
His first year he played 3 games, no tackles.
Again, there are lots of guys who developed into great players. But who was undrafted and then started immediately as a rookie on an elite team
London Fletcher - Washington Redskins - Career Statistics - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
London was a good guess but he only had 29 total tackles his first yr.
Jeff Saturday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saturday only started 2 games his first year.
Seriously, Gary Guyton is a freak when you look at history.

It also makes me wonder what we would have done with that second #1? Who would it have been? Would that #1 be a bust? Would we have traded for picks next year?
Would Guyton be out of the picture all together?
Guyton is a great find, amazed everytime I see an undrafted FA there on the D, seems to be in on a lot of the pass packages.. does anyone know the contract numbers and how long he will be with us??..
QUENTIN GROVES...
and then we wouldnt have used the 3rd on Crable. We couldve used it on another CB... and then we wouldnt have used the 4th on Wilhite
