While we have long known he was drafted only because he was gay, it's pretty shitty to think that some deserving player out there didn't get drafted because he was straight.

I don't really think that either. A lot of guys that have limited athletic upside but great college production get drafted in the late rounds. Once you get past the 4th round or so, there's noticeable faults with everyone. Athletic mythical creatures who can barely play the position and guys that are very niche players regularly get picked up. Hell, Belichick drafts deep snappers, and he's considered a pretty good draft guy (personally, I think he gets overrated a bit, but even Ozzy Newsome has had some terrible drafts).

He had a poor Combine, but it isn't totally out of this realm to think a player that won SEC Defensive Player of the Year would be deserving of a draft selection.

It's WAY better to be an undrafted FA than get drafted at then end of the draft. Money is almost the same and you can pick the best spot that gives you the best chance of making a roster.
