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.

i don't see the difference. Every player in an investment as long as you are making money.
Draft pick or not.
Besides, you made it sound like he couldn't do it physically. That's what I wanted to know the differences in.
Sitting out a year isn't a big deal as long as he is working on his game. You don't just all of a sudden forget how to play.
