I knew Ozzie was a great GM, but I think that is impressive on the GM's part and also I guess Harborough also could care less where a player is drafted.
Every time a UDFA makes a roster a 6th or 7th round pick usually gets cut. So it is more about luck than good drafting.
The Bengals have had quite a few UDFA that were somewhat productive in recent years (Erickson, Burfict, Redmond, Rey, Hewitt, Lamur, Andrew Hawkins, Hopkins). We won a division title in '09 with 60% of our starting O-line made up of UDFA (Cook, Livings, Roland). Wallace Gilberry and Benjarvis Green-Ellis were UDFA but they were with other teams before the Bengals signed them.
