re: Draft stock of returning and opt out players

So it’s easy to go “well we all thought this guy was gonna be a 1st rounder, but he ended up not going there so clearly xxxxxx effected his stock” when it’s entirely possibly the same result would’ve been had after that player went through the draft process and got dissected for 6 months

And teams do advanced scouting for future years, but for the most part they are singular focused on the current year, and they constantly review the same tape and info on these players to reveal any and all flaws.

That’s my point.

If you’re Shelvin and Vincent you did nothing to help your tape. And not playing football for a year is rarely a plus.

But if then knew they had questions to answer and came back to play a year to show people they’re better than they’re tape from 2019.

So it makes very little sense for them to opt out.
