New NFL Draft rules for underclassmen - washingtonismoney - 07-18-2014

This seems like a rather important change to their rules:

Quote:The number of underclassmen declaring for the draft is on the rise: from 53 in 2010 to 98 in 2014. Traditionally, early entrants could ask for draft projections from the NFL Draft Advisory Board, which would assign them one of five grades: first round, second round, third round, fourth through seventh round, and undraftable.

Now, according to the NFL, only three different evaluations will be given out: first round, second round, no grade.

Additionally, the rules now state that only five underclassmen per school will receive grades (though exceptions will be made at the biggest programs).
