Something kind of missing is when folks mention Whitworth being a 2nd round pick.. By the time he signed with LA nobody would have considered him a 2nd round pick. Round picks are really only real number the day they're drafted. Once they have a few seasons under their belts all that draft slot numbering goes out the window.
How many undrafted free agents who later go on to multiple pro-bowls are still thought of as undrafted or undraftable players years after their drafts? The opposite also holds true of say, first round busts like Cedric Ogbuihi, but heck, he was a first round player and still must be since he went to Jacksonville, eh? How many would now declare Ced as an undraftable player? Nobody, right?
