Falling in rankings as a result of continued viewing of these players (and, during a draft year, the closest scrutiny you're going to get) means you have suddenly stopped progressing relative to your peers, which is a bad sign. Or even worse, that you've stopped progressing at all. Guys can look good at 16 relative to their age group but at 17, when more players are filling out into their eventual frames, if you haven't at least kept up, I'd be staying away.
