But Kiper as a general rule has usually been relatively accurate in his predictions of BYU draft stock. He, just like the NFL, has no inherent bias toward BYU or the MWC. I would think if anything it would make him and or a NFL team look smarter when they do find a diamond in the rough (LaDanian as a prime example).
All NFL teams care about is can you make my team better. College allegiances carry very little weight- other than the fact if you are a star at USC, or the SEC there is a good chance you are going to be a good NFL prospect.
