For those with a real chance, I think it's when it looks like there's no real marginal value as far as possibly breaking into the NFL. That is, if they can do as well or better somewhere else. Obviously, playing time is an important component, but I think they're smart enough to look at the quality of their opportunity as well. Our DB NFL placement rate is stellar and is only going to get better as we get "mo' betta" national tv time. One or two years as a starter at OSU with a year or so playing dime and nickel coverage is better than four years starting at many schools. Also, we're, I think, starting to see the NFL version of the NBA's premium on potential over collegiate success, at least with DBs within a certain size and speed range. Teams are increasingly likely to take a big and/or exceptionally fast CB with less PT over a kid who has solid D1 experience. Obviously, that can be taken too far, but I see the idea. After a certain point, assuming premium skills, the potential value of your D1 game experience caps out. At that point, you're ready to move up and let the pros have a crack at really developing you. Like anything else, I guess, if you have less skill, more repetition will be more valuable, but for somebody like Ginn and the boys, as opposed to Doss, who I think really helped himself by coming back for his senior year, once you've played a year or two, it's time to move up.Brutus1 said:
