Just pointing out errors and irregularities.
Yes, but still not as common as some here like to claim.
And 2 of those 52 were guys PA turned into starters (Livings, Cook).
The claim that all NFL coaches are consistently finding starters that are either undrafted or picked in the fourth round or later just is not true. And when you look at the numbers PA was as good as most coaches in finding and developing this type of talent.
During one 12 year stretch ('97-'08) the Bengals used a total of 3 picks in the first two rounds of the draft on O-linemen, and only 2 more on third rounders.
