Speaking at the 2015 SEC Media Days on Wednesday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban said he is not in favor of the current timetable in which underclassmen receive feedback from the NFL regarding their projected draft standing.
According to ESPN, Saban considers it a distraction towards the end of the season as players prepare for bowl-games.

"You're talking about a young person who has to deal with a lot now," Saban said at SEC media days in Hoover, Alabama, on Wednesday. "We had six guys in this situation last year and 11 the year before. So we're trying to get ready for a game, and then all of the sudden a guy finds out he's a first-round draft pick or a guy that thought he was a first-round draft pick isn't a first-round pick, and we're trying to get ready to play a playoff game.
"I think that it would be better not to submit that information to a player until he was finished competing in college. We've moved the draft back [from April to May]. We have not moved the date that a player has to declare back."
