It isn't just 52 players spread over 7 years. For example Jeff Saturday made this list and he entered the NFL in 1999.
If you want to check each individual player to see how many enter the league each year have at it, But to me it looks like maybe about the same number each year as players drafted fourth round or later, maybe 3 to 5 for the entire league.

So as to your argument wouldn't the undrafted guys be counted as players that are coached up at least doubling your initial numbers?
Just pointing out errors and irregularities.
