however there is a hell of a difference between an established NFL football player sitting out for one year and a college player getting thrown off of his team and then not playing again and entering the draft almost a year and a half later.


what are the differences?

Really?

Ok a draft pick is an investment for an NFL team no? A kid that hasn't played football in a year and a half is a lot more risky to a team to use a draft pick on than for a team to sign a free agent that has already proven himself at the NFL level.

I don't even understand how you could argue that.

Again, try and understand, I am not trying to argue and say he won't get drafted. IMO, I repeat, IN MY OPINION, I don't think he will get drafted in higher than the 5th round because of the risk associated with spending a higher draft pick on him. It is one thing to spend a 5th or 6th round pick on him, its a completely different thing to nab him in the 2nd or 3rd round.
