This year's final cuts feature a few surprises

Here's the one fact you need to know about this past weekend's final cuts to know it was anything but ordinary: A total of 53 undrafted free agents made NFL 53-man rosters.

To put that in perspective, anything over 30 is considered a lot. So it goes without saying that there was a lot of depth in this draft.

Everybody who went in first three rounds made their teams, which hasn't always been the case. Al Woods, a defensive tackle drafted out of LSU in the fourth round (No. 125 overall) by the Saints, was the highest drafted player not to make a team.

And how about this? Tramaine Brock, an undrafted free-agent defensive back, became the first player from Belhaven College to make an active roster, as the 49ers took a chance and kept him.

Here's a team-by-team breakdown of this year's final cuts by the numbers:
