Quote: 

Using Pro Football Reference as a resource, I looked at all players who were classified as starters at the beginning of the 2014 season to determine what round they were drafted in upon entering the league.  Of the 595 players designated as such, the results reveal the following:

Round   Percent
1          29.9
2          17.5
3          12.6
4          10.8
5           6.4
6           4.9
7           4.2
Undrafted    13.6

I'm assuming the 13.6% got a fire lit under them since they were overlooked in rounds 5-7..

I think the reason there are more undrafted free agents than 7th rounders that become starters is because there are more undrafted free agents.  Each team is taking 1 seventh rounder, and 10-12 undrafted free agents.
