The NFL announced that 54 players were granted special eligibility to enter this year 's draft.
That is less than half the number the league is accustomed to applying for early admission over the past decade .
The NFL 's player pool is made even shallower by the NCAA 's liberal transfer portal, which allows prospects to re-open their recruitment.
Don't be surprised if these two clubs are aggressive in peddling picks on draft weekend , including possibly trading out of this year 's later rounds.
This brings up the ultimate question that the NFL and its 32 teams will have to grapple with moving forward: Is there reason to believe the Junior player pool will ever return to its pre-NIL and transfer policy strength? It seems unlikely.
Unless the NCAA changes some of its rules, the NFL appears to have no choice but to adapt to the new normal of a diluted player pool.
