7th Round

Panthers TE James Thomas (195th overall) - Last season, I spent the 209th selection on a TE that was projected to go undrafted. I was so impressed by his rookie season that I decided to let my 92 TE walk away as a free agent and hand over the reins to Joel Albright. Could it happen again (yes I know Thomas was a projected 6th rounder)? Almost certainly not, but Julius Thomas will likely retire after the season, so who knows?

Cowboys DT Joe Waters (203rd overall) - The Cowboys once selected a DT, Dominic Lee in the 7th to play the rotational DT and first in line with injuries. He thrived there for a long time before getting starting jobs in other places. Waters would be in a slightly different situation because if he were to thrive and get awarded a second contract in Dallas, he could be a sneaky pick to succeed one of Jerrell Powe or Ryan Walker, who are now in their mid-30s.

Bengals OT Mike Aldridge (204th overall) - I mentioned in my draft doc that the Bengals had older starting OTs and weak depth. Aldridge doesn't make the depth any stronger, but it does give him a slightly better shot at sticking there, getting some starts, or even becoming a full-time starter, however unlikely those outcomes are.

Honorable Mention
Vikings C Donny Nash (208th overall)
