would you take a shot on a player who has never played football 7th round?

You'd also have to be prepared to waste a roster spot on a player likely too green to contribute or risk losing him to another team by trying to stash him on your practice squad while he learns how to play football.

That's the key right there, you're taking an athlete who doesn't know how to play football. You're pulling an Al Davis.

Al Davis would take him in the 1st or 2nd. If a roster spot is needed elsewhere for whatever reason, risk him on the PS. Otherwise, let him play ST and get use out of his roster spot that way. Doesn't take a lot of football knowledge to run straight then try to tackle the guy with the ball.

Olympian? Yes. I know a few people who have trained at Olympic levels, and I'd give the guy a roster spot just to have someone with that work ethic and professionalism in the locker room. Think about it; he hates to lose, is an elite athlete, and would instantly be the worst player on the team. He would be the single most dedicated player in the NFL. If he can play on special teams and drive his teammates further than they would normally go, I think he would be worth it. And with his speed, size, and rugby experience, I would think he can play special teams.

5 picks, Frank Alexander, abort thread.

Doesn't have to be a de at 6'6 304. seeing as how 7th rounders are just being given away and the high likely hood of us trading down, this shouldn't be to far fetched. And with our gm coming from a defensive line minded team, i don't think frank alexander would stop us from using a 7th on a potential stud.
