Some high-schooler ought to challenge the legality of the draft. 18 year-olds have just as much right to earn a living as a a 22 year old that got free training in the college(minor league) system.
*Nobody is forcing Kapernick or anyone else into the NFL Draft against their free will, so it is not equal to slavery.*
Tell that to Curt Flood. He was a millionaire and still a slave. The NFL needs a Snidely Whiplash like baseballs Marvin Miller.
What would be better than a draft would be an auction. A team names a college player they want to hire and the bidding begins. The first contract period would be 5 years for everyone. Basically Free Agency from the start.
