I don't really know what criteria they are using, but common sense tells me ranking guys who have never taken a snap in the NFL ahead of any veteran is just a big red flag as far as credibility goes.

That's the part of the drafting equation so many ignore.It's funny you brought this up, Rich. Just yesterday my friend and I were discussing that in the NFL, if you're drafted anywhere in the first 3 rounds, you're expected to contribute almost immediately. If you get drafted into the NHL or MLB, it could be years before the club brings you up to the "Big Squad". You play in their system, get conditioning and coaching and they groom you to be ready for the big leagues. There are exceptions of course, but most draftees are given time to develop.
Quote from: TDToomer on April 22, 2024, 10:47:50 AMBB said he was the only rookie he coached that was NFL ready on day 1, not of all time. Barry Sanders held out of training camp as a rookie and had 80 yards or so with almost no practice in his first game.Yes TD, I misquoted that. BB did say LT was the only rookie HE Coached.
