How many of these 5th thru 7th rd players have actually developed. single digits?

Depends on your definition of developed. Most of them will increase in OVR but do you mean guys who significantly improve? Ones who develop into starters? It's hard for 5th to 7th rounders to develop purely because of lack of play time but late round picks who actually see the field do develop.

Quick glance over the last 3 drafts (2014 draft is based off projections, I didn't write down draft positions for that one. 2015/16 are based off actual draft position)

5th rounders
C Russell Bodine 75 > 82 (2014)
G Luke Bowanko 75 > 80 (2014)
P Jacob Schum 74 > 87 (2014)
G Arie Kouandjio 74 > 78 (2015)
MLB Joey Kaufman 71 > 81 (2015)
WR Dennis Robinson 73 > 78 (2015)
SS Quentin White 74 > 77 (2016)

6th rounders
WR Chris Hogan 75 > 81 (2014)
SS James Sanford 75 > 80 (2014)
G Mark Glowinski 74 > 80 (2015)
WR Robert Woods 76 > 82 (2015)
WR Chauncey Sharper 72 > 77 (2015)
WR Dennis Robinson 73 > 78 (2015)
OLB Neil Parker 72 > 78 (2016)
OLB WIllie Walls 71 > 75 (2016)
TE Jace Amaro 74 > 78 (2016)
MLB Chad Carpenter 70 > 74 (2016)
C Dimitrius Massey 70 > 76 (2016)

7th rounders
FS Shelton Kelly 70 > 75 (2014 - but he did get to 77 after his rookie year)
SS Jermaine O'Leske 71 > 77 (2014)
MLB Alvin Williams 65 > 79 (2015 - so +14 in 2 seasons)
TE Josh Hill 71 > 76 (2015)
MLB Raymond Els 68 > 71 (2016)
WR Alex Erickson 71 > 74 (2016)

I only have draft data for the last 4 drafts so that's all I can give you.

I do know that Stephen Tulloch was a 7th rounder and he's my starting OLB who has been amazing since he got the starting gig 3 seasons ago (280 Tackles, 14 Sacks, 8 FF, 6 FR, 2 INT). He's gone from 76 > 86 in the last 5 seasons despite being old (he's 33 now)
