- The player is in their absolute prime and expected to increase in expertise/skill as one would expect a draft choice.
- This player is completely unaffected by performance enhancement (what you see is what you draft). So, we are ranking Joe Namath for instance on what he was at his prime, not his prime plus roids.
My guess is prime Bo Jackson would still be drafted today, I can’t think of anyone before him with comparable stats to the combine metrics today.
Each position is probably wildly different as well. Dempsey would get drafted today for sure. “You got a kid that can kick HOW FAR?”
