For those complaining about giving up all our late round picks

DCSaints_Fan said

Here is who we drafted in rounds 5 or later over the last 5 years:

2019
Saquan Hampton
Alize Mack
Kaden Ellis

2018
Natrell Jamerson
Kamrin Moore
Boston Scott
Will Clapp

2017:
Al-Quadin Muhammad

2016:
Daniel Lasco

2015:
Davis Tull
Tyeler Davison
Damian Swann
Marcus Murphy

Of those players, I think only Swann ever got meaningful playing time outside of maybe special teams.

Will Clapp started three games for us last year and was the sixth OL power guy in a bunch more. Tyeler Davison started for three years and got a FA contract with Atlanta. Muhammed started four games for Indy last year, and Boston Scott averaged 4.0 YPC for the Eagles late in the season. Elliss and Hampton are still with us. Jamerson and Mack are still bouncing around the league.

What I am sure we are banking on right now is that given these odd circumstances, more guys that we might have liked in rounds 5-7 than usual will slip all the way through and be UDFA (e.g., Shy Tuttle), so this was the year to pull the trigger on Trautman.
