What did we learn, if anything?

There are a few names amongst Mike McCarthy’s former seventh-round draft picks to stand out and have had a little success in the NFL. But, I don’t think there is any rhyme or reason as to why those or any of the other players were selected this late. This is typically around or teams either draft the highest rated player still left on their big board or start targeting some of their coveted players who are looking to go undrafted. It’s what the Dallas Cowboys have done in the past and I don’t see any reason why that should change.
