Navigating the 2023 NFL Draft: Pre-draft strategies and unpopular opinions.
Agents can use pre-draft damage control to prevent their clients' draft stock from falling due to off-field issues or unexpected events. Experienced agents like Drew Rosenhaus can help prevent a major draft slide. In 2003, agent Joel Corry helped his client, Dennis Weathersby, salvage his draft stock after he was shot six days before the draft. Weathersby was ultimately drafted by the Bengals in the fourth round but suffered a severe head injury in a car accident and was unable to continue his NFL career.
