This is true from the player perspective, not the team.

A few years ago when the Saints were constantly whiffing on players in the draft, everyone liked to point out how well they were doing with undrafted FAs. You only have a lot of undrafted FAs if you're missing in the draft and it led to a bunch of 7-9 seasons.

Leonard was a reach, but I get why they did it. He was a raw prospect with the ability to outperform his draft slot if he put it together. We missed, shite happens all the time.

What about Teddy Bridgewater? Or Taysom Hill? Or Lutz?

All unique paths to the Saints. The team doesn't care how they acquired the player. They care about how the player produces once they make it to the team.
