Undrated free agents are underdogs who are mostly shrugged, off but that just simply is not the case. It’s so important that franchises do their due diligence on these players and find ones that they can develop into their programs.

The three I mentioned in this post are the ones who I thought fit that mold of what the Chiefs are looking for. Versatile, team captains who can play more than just one position and could find a place on the oh so important special teams.

Here is a full list of rookies and UDFA’s the Chiefs drafted or signed over the weekend.

If the Chiefs could find even just four or five of them out of that bunch who can contribute right away then they’ve done a nice job in this rookie class!
