How many WRs total were drafted in rounds 4-7 and signed as UDFAs those years?
That is why I said it was about a %1 chance instead of saying no way. Because obviously you can hit on those picks. But you could hit on those same picks at any position. I bet you could make an all-star team out of guys at every position taken in round 4 and lower in the last 4 years, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't sign good players to good contracts and should instead rely on hitting on low round picks.
I'd rather do both. Draft the best guys we can find in those rounds, and if they beat a vet out of a job, that's great. But Walter can play on that contract for the next 3+ years even if we find a gem who makes him the #3 WR, and the money would not be a big hit for us since the contract is reasonable.
