--will I prefer to risk getting pancaked by some 380 lb. college behemoth and break my leg before I even get to the 2016 draft, or will I take the money that will be on the table in 2015?
--agent A tells me that I can get X if I go early, but agent B tells me that I can get 2X if I stay and really star in 2015.  Which bird is in the hand and which is in the bush?
--do I really want to leave the Farm early?  Do I want to tell my best friends and my favorite Profs that they are history?  Do I really want to leave without a degree?
--am I ready for the real world, or not?
--if I enter the real world a year later am I better off or worse off, in the long run?

I've been there and so is my eldest daughter as we "speak."  Neither of us ever had to worry about breaking a leg, but each of us was/is conflicted when we searched our hearts at this age.....

I think your list contradicts your original contention that it is a "no brainer" that Peat go to the NFL now.

Pretty clearly some make each decision. Either is reasonable. Hard to predict what an individual will opt for without knowing them.
