My first attempt at a mock had this guy as a 2nd round prospect because of that production. Obviously, something is missing with him, but there's something I'm wondering about how scouts end up passing on guys like this.
The workout warriors and superb athletes who get selected early, often have questionable production. Those are the guys who end up busts at a higher rate than those who have production to back up their measurables.
Then you have a history of these guys that produce at a high level, but because they don't have ideal measurables, they slip way down and sometimes don't even get drafted.
Here's what I'd like to know.
How many guys who have led one of the best conferences in college football at their position, go undrafted? Out of those, how many of them make a roster after signing a UDFA contact while the same team's mid-round picks get cut?
A thorough analysis of related statistics, in my mind, very well might change the way scouts and their teams go about making their draft boards.
