So I'm trying to figure out my strategy for drafting. What would be theoretically better here... a guy ranked #20 overall but may have to sit a year or two or a guy ranked #40 overall but will be a 4 year starter?

well we never really settled on a scoring system but generally the gist is rewarding awards and achievements in addition to high draft pick etc.

So you may be better off with a 4 year starter. But that's just how I approach this.

Driskel, for example, I chose not just because I think he's the best available but I like the situation he's walking into more.

Aside from pure talent, the number one thing I look for is availability of playing time.

For example, one guy I am looking at this year will be behind 3 seniors and 2 juniors. So if he redshirts this year, he should get a little PT next, and then start the rest of his career.

I look at talent, depth chart, school and coaching and make my decision from there. Most guys won't be four year starters, but I look for two or three year starters at major BCS schools because they have more chances for awards and to become major draft picks, and just be better players. I also look at where they are playing. LB from Penn State and tOSU, DB's from bama, QB's from SMU, Houston, WR from Mizzou, etc get a bump. Offensive lineman from UGA get a downgrade. That's pretty much my strategy. The first few rounds are pretty much best player available and it's hard to mess up unless you just pick a total bust player.

Since there's no really official scoring method.. I'd just say pick the guys who you think will end up the best (of course you get into how do you define best, but whatever you think).

For me, best are the guys that will be studs in college and NFL stars.
