NFL to limit the number of draft evaluations for underclassmenf

I'm torn in this issue. I get what Troy Vincent and Saban are saying about this but, is this really the NFL's problem to solve?
It seems to me that the NCAA would be more effective at dealing with this, but is it even a big deal as far as CFB is concerned?

NEW YORK -- The NFL will limit the number of underclassmen who can receive evaluations for the draft to five from a single school, although special exceptions will be allowed.
Concerned about the record 107 underclassmen who applied for this year's draft, and with 37 of them not selected, the league's College Advisory Committee developed new guidelines for players considering forfeiting their final years of eligibility.
quote:
"When you look at our accuracy rate, we did a good job evaluating first- and second-round picks," Vincent told SiriusXM NFL Radio. "Below -- the third, fourth and fifth rounds -- a lot of these players were not getting drafted. It's better for these young men to remain a student-athlete for another year."
Only two schools, LSU and California, had more than five underclassmen in this year's draft. Six of LSU's seven players were chosen, while only two of the six from Cal were drafted.
quote:
"A guy is going to get a first-round grade, a second-round grade or a stay-in-school grade," Saban said. "Look, all these players that went out for the draft, that went out for the draft late, or didn't get drafted, they were potential draft picks next year. They're not in the draft next year. They're not playing college football either."

They have exceptions, some teams with a lot of talent can have more evaluations than others

I don't have a problem with what the NFL is doing, I'm just not sure this will accomplish anything. Based on the article, this would have prevented fewer than 5 guys at two schools (LSU and Cal) from declaring early if they did it last year.
I guess I'm wondering, if this is such a problem (not really sure it is) why doesn't the NCAA do something about it.

The NFL has more cover when it comes to protecting its free minor league.

Is it really to prevent them, or they just can't get an NFL evaluation but still leave?
Like say Ego, he could leave but he would have no idea of his projection type thing

It's a great solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
