I counted the UDFAs that are in the league already (1 or 2), and the guys that are projected 4th round or higher this year, and that's 19 sacks. Against guys that are or will be in the nfl this year.

Those 18 sacks for Garrett are against guys that aren't in the nfl and aren't projected as UDFAs (they had a 999 of 200 ranking on draft scouts). I'll go back and look for names. They were very hard to find and for good reason.

A guaranteed 19 sacks (and maybe as many as 30) for Barnett came against guys that are or will be in the nfl.

Only as many as 13 can be said for Garrett (still haven't checked the other 3).

That's production against nfl caliber players.

It's going to take time and I have a party for 2:00, but I'll edit this as the day goes. I started with the 3 teams I was unsure off (so these aren't even in the 18; and if the guy is nfl bound I'll take them out after).

Garrett game log

2014
Lamar roster
Guy he faced

Rice roster

Louisiana-Lafayette roster(OL pretty far down)
Guy he faced(might be an UDFA; outside of top 40 ranking)

2015
Arizona State depth chart
Guy he faced(might be an UDFA; outside of top 40 ranking)

Nevada depth chart


Louisville depth chart
Guy he faced(might be an UDFA; outside of top 50 ranking)

2016


And again this isn't to knock Garrett. It's to show that Barnett can hang with the big boys and did so more often than Garrett.

Edit:
So I'll give on that fact that MAYBE a few of these guy could be UDFAs next year or the year after, but being ranked outside of the top 40 at a position puts those prospects low (even lower to actually make a team), and outside the top 50 is a real long shot.

The UDFAs I counted for Barnett in the 19 (not the 27) actually made rosters and are still playing (1 even started a few games).
