I’ve read arguments on both sides that I liked.Positionally iDL at least most often, you get 30yrs old before some signs of decline. So from a spending Draft Capital viewpoint, if it’s a RD5 guy probably not a huge concern, whereas for a RD1-3 guy you kinda want to maximize their play-lifespan to expenditure.Somewhere else I read this idea (also I believe it was poster Dante? was a big proponent of age) I used to think it was just something they liked for personal draft ratings. I discovered years later in a scouting report that age has more to do with ability to translate and growth grades. They have a column they check more so for players who excel early in college and don’t regress or even improve. Their thought was the earlier a player transitions into elevated circumstances (HS to College) often times relates to how they elevate College to Pro. Also they can sustain their “peak” longer. So there must be some real proof that grading variable.  That part makes sense to me, maybe but a primary checkbox, but in a case where 2 players are graded equally it could be a tilting decision winning variable.</blockquote>
