By your logic players rated as high draft picks should quit as soon as possible after receiving their high draft grade, and it doesn't matter when that time is.

People are fooling themselves if they don't see that this is where the sport is heading. Maybe I'm being too doom and gloomy, but sooner or later these players are going to realize that the regular season is just as "meaningless" as the post-season when you aren't getting paid, are a high draft prospect, and the risk of injury remains throughout the season and not just in the bowl game.
