I fear the opposite will be true.

I think NFL scouts and GMs will realize they can get older, talented, tough-nosed players from BYU without having to draft them, since the other teams are passing them up in the draft.

They'll start to realize that guys like Ziggy and KVN can only be landed via draft picks, but others can easily be picked up as free agents.

That's my point, seems like many because we rarely get players drafted

They do care. The Browns organization is just a mess.
