The College Board

What if you had to run your team's draft without the benefit of scouting reports? Not a good situation to find yourself in.

With draft-eligible college players, though, we do have an extensive statistical record to go on. College stats are far from telling the whole story, especially if we want to answer questions about a player's ceiling, or if a starter will need to convert to relief. But with proper adjustments, and including newer developments like defense and baserunning stats, we can get a good grip on how well college players have performed.
