Washington is dead last at finding undrafted players.

What I found

The Chiefs have an undrafted rookie starting at left tackle, so I checked how Washington does with the players nobody drafted. Since 2021 the undrafted rookies we signed have played 772 snaps for us. That is last in the NFL. The average team has 4,057 and the Rams have 8,982. You don't need undrafted players to win. You need them when you've traded your draft picks, and we traded ours.
