[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1032456, member: 7261"] Yes and no. I think there are cases where guys declared too quickly and would have been better off being a star on a college team VS riding the bench for a few years in the NFL. Then you take a player like Kenny Clark, whom you correctly point out has been pretty damn good since being drafted at the age of 20. Basically, I think its all individual dependent and possibly position dependent as well. For instance, I would rather spend a 1st round pick on a QB, that I plan on starting as a rookie, that has 3-4 seasons of being a starting college QB under his belt. Now a 20 year old guy like Braelon Allen (RB at Wisconsin), who started college at the age of 17, has 3 years of being the featured back at Wisconsin, has nothing more to prove and everything to gain in the NFL. Playing 1 more year at Wisconsin might have improved his draft stock a bit, but it also might have resulted in an injury that blew up his professional aspirations. The final variable, maturity. Some of these guys just aren't mature enough to start a professional life, with a ton of money in their pockets. Of course, we see that with 30 year old players too. [/QUOTE]
