    Graduating players getting drafted

    Anyone know how the draft position for graduating players is calculated? Is it random? I just finished year 5 at Syracuse with a pathetic pro potential grade and was hoping to see it get boosted with my 99 OVR QB graduating (4-year starter at Syracuse, led the nation in QB rating, passing yards, and completion percentage as a senior, 5th in Heisman voting as a senior, broke every single school season and career passing record), but he didn't get drafted at all.

    My 85 OVR TE went in the 3rd round and my 82 OVR LT went in the 6th round.

    I guess I'm glad they just don't just go straight by overall to determine draft position, but I would have thought my QB would get picked by SOMEBODY.

    I'm pretty sure that height has something to do with it. I was going through the list of players that weren't drafted and they all seemed to be on the shorter side.

        This is interesting. I wonder if "measurables" also play a role in the mock draft in NCAA. For instance a 88 over 6'7 300 lb left tackle wil get drafter before n 88 overall 6'1 280 tackle that has better stats.

          So he was Timmy Chang from Hawai'i?

            But several QBs that were outstanding in college end up really late picks or undrafted. Some include: Case Keenum, Graham Harrell, and Kellen Moore to just name a few recent examples.

            I'm guessing that the type of offense you used, along with measurables like someone else mentioned, play a part in draft status. Keenum's & Harrell's downfall was the type of offense they played in, which was the air raid/spread. Moore's was his height.

              Does school prestige play a factor here? You know that if a guy is the nations top QB and is at a 6* school, he's probably more likely to be drafted that a 1-2* guy

                Russell Wilson got drafted in the 3rd round and he's 5'10. Moore's downfall was his noodle arm. He's super accurate but he's playing slow pitch out there.
