Making it to the practice squad doesn't matter. As a league average, 90% of the players taken in the 7th round end up not having an NFL career. Period.
Yes, the Pats have been ABOVE AVERAGE with their 7th round picks. But they have still had more misses than hits with them. Of the 17 draft picks used in the 7th round from 2000 through 2009, they had 7 clear misses. They had 4 players who had minor contributions (Pochman and Morton for other teams, Andrews and Kelley for the Pats), 5 hits in Cassel, Pass, Edelman, Givens, and TBC, and 1 who is undetermined (Richard).
So 30% chance the pats can get a solid player out of the7ths.
I guess the glass is half empty for you.
