Two years ago I upset a few people when I declared no Pitt players would be drafted. It was difficult to admit that Ray Graham’s knee severely hindered his draft prospects but it was reality. Graham went undrafted and has struggled to stick in the NFL. This year that won’t be an issue thanks to TJ Clemmings. The question is whether or not a second player will be drafted.
Let me state this first: it is often better to go undrafted than it is to be drafted in the seventh round. Why? Options. When a player is drafted in the seventh round, he’s stuck with that team for a few years unless they cut or trade him.
