Yeah, the signing bonuses plus guaranteed money can be better. Ben Sims got more money from the Vikings as a UDFA (110000) than Carrington Valentine did (~100800) as a GB R7 pick. It's been happening over the last 3 drafts or so, the UDFAs getting as much or more along with control over where they can sign. Theory is it's one reason Gb likes those R7 picks - they have better cost control over the player's contract in many cases.
