I thank you for your comments.

I agree. The NFL is [B]very strict[/B] [B]and biased[/B] in their observation of elite talent coming into [B]THEIR SYSTEM[/B]. The college system is far from the pro system and they, (NFL), will take time to develop someone they've drafted and veteran players at times will show them how a route is supposed to be run - if not a coach will. After all the draft pick, unless he is hurt or does not show the promise he had when drafted in camp, is now hopefully a part of the team and the teams future.
I also do not like the word SYSTEM. Sure it's different in college due to the fact the HC has goals of his own about how his team is going to be successful and win games versus various opponents defensives schemes. Routes will be run accordingly.

So you better be ready, be an elite athlete have a good Senior Bowl and Combine numbers. They count a great deal toward where and if you are going to be drafted. However some of the best players  go undrafted because of bias and no it's not fair but neither is life.
