The Filter System Nobody Talks About

NFL draft rooms run a layered filter. First: physical viability. Height, arm length, hand size. Second: age and durability. Third: character and judgment. Fourth, and only then: college production. Pavia failed the first filter before anyone opened his game tape. He failed the second because 24-year-old quarterbacks don't get developmental patience. His post-Heisman meltdown cemented the third. By the time scouts reached his 39 touchdowns, three upstream disqualifiers had already closed the door. College dominance was theater. The NFL was buying blueprints.
