Since 2014, the Dallas Cowboys have drafted 12 players in the seventh round of the NFL draft (this year’s draft excluded). Of those 12, only one is currently on the roster. That’s Ohio State wide receiver Noah Brown, who is far from a lock to make the final-53 this summer.
The point being it is rare that a player taking in the final round of the draft sticks around long enough to make an impact. Many don’t even make it past their first training camp.
Of course, there are exceptions. For instance, defensive tackle Jay Ratliff was a seventh-round selection back in 2005.
