Evaluating NFL Draft Prospects

I think we may be using the word "objective" differently.

The grouping idea does seem like a good start. It also seems to be the basis for a good number of scouting reports (the ones we get to read anyway).

Another interesting factor from our earlier discussion was this: games played is a good indicator of NFL success. This makes a bit of sense, but I wonder if number of games started isn't an even better indicator?

i think that games played is a great indicator and should be looked at first and foremost....if u dont start on ur team its unlikely you will start in the nfl..not definite tho....i've always looked at games started as being more important unless the games they didnt start were caused by an injury...if they still managed to play that game then i believe the coaches were in agreement that player A is definitly better than player B who replaced him for the start
