As someone who is firmly on the players side, the directions for college players to not attend the draft is bush league and not a smart pr move. I believe they had the majority of informed fans on their side, but there was quite a backlash when this was released. I understand the reasoning, NFL will make money off the draft, but robbing the young kids their moment in the sun is not worth it. Also, the draft is at least something the fans will be interested in even without a season. Dumb move.
