Crazy that Jeremiah Smith would probably be a top 5 pick if he was eligible this year (probably the 2nd-3rd pick), and he has to spend another 2 years in college.

With the NCAA getting killed on every single court case, basically not allowing them to have any rules at all because of their "monopoly", how the hell does the NFL still get away with requiring players to be in college for 3 years before they can go to the league?
The collective bargaining agree the NFL Players Union has with the league is what makes it legal. It isn’t collusion when the involved parties agree to it. I do wonder though if some guys who hate school, and “school,” would opt to play a year year in the UFL (money aside) to just focus on football 24/7.

I don't know much about law, but it seems weird to consider guys not yet in the NFL to be "involved parties" when they're not allowed to be "involved". They not in the Players Union, so they have no say in the collective bargaining agreement. Not arguing with you, I agree that's why they get away with. I'm arguing with the ruling. Seems like a bad argument to me.

That is such a Baltimore pick. They are so good at drafting.

Way up there
I don't really care where Sanders goes but him falling will be the biggest headline of the draft. Once Prime puts his narrative out, it will have nothing to do with football, his fanbase will eat it up and make it political or some conspiracy theory against Coach Prime. It'll be an ugly cloud over the draft and will consume NFL media all summer.

I get a kick out of grown men giving man hugs over selecting someone in their early 20s that will either be a star or bust for them.
