Should be another deep draft

---

I'm wondering if this is going to turn out to be a 'cyclical' type of thing where it goes back and forth. In other words, for a few years lots and lots of Underclassmen declare for the draft. Ineligible players see this happening but notice that they may get a better draft position in the future if they can develop their talents a bit so they hold off. Now the cycle is at the point where less Underclassmen declare.

 

Not sure it will play out that way but it'll be interesting to see if it does.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Since the rookie wage scale started, there's less reason to go back to school to improve draft stock. If you feel like you're a lock to be a day 2 pick at worst, why not declare? You're basically guaranteed to make about 2 million at worst over 4 years.

 

IMO, the risk of going back to school outweighs any extra $ you would make by being a top pick, especially for skill position players.

Actually I think many players left early just to prevent their draft stock from falling because often we see guys have amazing junior seasons, then look average as seniors. That is not exactly improving their draft stock.

You also see Undrafted guys make teams and get paid 400k/a year to play.
