Comments on: Are Big School Prospects Overrated in the NFL Draft? http://www.footballperspective.com/are-big-school-prospects-overrated-in-the-nfl-draft/ NFL History and Stats Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:39:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Tim Truemper http://www.footballperspective.com/are-big-school-prospects-overrated-in-the-nfl-draft/#comment-18446 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:39:45 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=9865#comment-18446 I like the analysis but do have a quibble with the nomenclature. Labeling the two groups as Big vs. Small Schools creates a kind of association that then as to be verbally qualified. For example, above, Michigan State and Texas Tech are in the “small school” grouping, but then its stated they are not really small schools as generally understood, but they are in the small group catefory because they have fewer players drafted, and so forth. I would have used a more literal label for the two catefogories; High Draft (player #’s) schools vs. Low Draft Schools. Then its understood, and somewhat more immediately revealing that even colleges in major conferences that these schools are classified as Low Draft because numerically they have a lower # of players drafted.
