The best, worst 7th-round picks
Of the last decade, clearly the best pick has been Luketa, who played three seasons and was a great special teams player and also developed into a decent pass rusher last season. However, after finishing the season injured, he was not re-signed.
Benjamin was solid for a few games. Dogbe was a good rotational defensive player for a brief time.
The worst? Menet never did anything. Neither did Wilson.
