Normally I would agree... but lime green is the color of "Headstrong Foundation"... so I'll put up with it and think of that.

Feels like a major pitfall for conservative teams.  Drafting a player you KNOW isn't that good, but who has NCAA production and tape available, over someone with less tape and more upside.  

Teams and even high end armchair GM's know where a player has value based on year to year experience.  A 3rd round talent with 3rd round upside should not be going late 1st or early 2nd just because they played a ton of football this year.

The name Pumphrey comes to mind.

Odd strategy

Yeah it's a bunch of baloney.  I'll explain why below.

I think it makes sense though. You have more complete information with the player who played. 

"If there are two players that are close or equal, we’ll take the one that has played most recently,” Colbert said.

That strategy would only be applicable to borderline/marginal later round picks, imo.

For example, I'd like to see that GM pass on Trevor Lawrence if Lawrence decides to sit out the season.  

Or any other top 50 ranked player for that matter.  If your scouting staff can't determine what a kid can do after 2 (maybe 3) seasons in College Football, then maybe you need a new scouting staff.

When it gets down to the 5th, 6th 7th rounds maybe...but even then you should have a decent idea of who you want...especially after the combine, pro days, etc etc.

Might have been someone we wanted to protect before we got Huntley. Seems more redundant now.

Again, they’re using it as a tie breaker according to the quote. He didn’t say the guys who sat out all go below the guys who did play.

I think it makes perfect sense to slightly adjust your board based on added information. 

I would guess a really bad season versus a sit out would benefit the player sitting out.

I read it as we have 2 players =but 1 sits the other performs as expected nod goes to the player who played.

He wasn't saying a top 50 player is off the board for sitting out

You were clear and probably didn't need me jumping in but this was starting to feel like a rabbit hole that we not ever escape from 🤣

@Connecticut Eagle 

Eagles -12 and 4

On offense Improved WR, continued improvement from Miles and top notch TE play help Carson shine and over shadow a slight dip in Oline play 

On defense the pressure and pocket collapse from the DT combined with improved play at corner makes the difference early. LB play improves as the season goes on and we enter the playoffs in great shape. 

Too optimistic?

For "borderline/marginal" later round picks, yeah, I can see that being a "tie breaker".  Top 50-60 talent?  Nope. 

If anything, I would want a guy that has a year less wear and tear on him...especially for RB's, TE's, D-Line, O-Line and LB's. 

It's only a matter of time before College Football players will be allowed to declare after 2 years....what will his "strategy" be then?  Is he going to pass on a top 50 talent because he only played 2 seasons vs a guy that played 3? 

And how close does it need to be for it to be a "tie breaker"?  How often does that happen with top talent? At that point you go with a position of need if it's that close, then combine/pro-day performance, interview etc ....those should be your tie breakers, imo. 

If it gets down to the later rounds (I still would only use it as a last resort, depending on position) but then I could see with going for a WR or a QB that played 3 years vs one that played 2.  But that would be the "last" tie breaker, imo..after "position of need",  combine, pro-day. interview, etc
