As much as has been made about college players deciding to stay because they don’t like the NFL team they would potentially be drafted by, it is short-sighted.
You have limited control over where you get picked.
If you are a top pick, the team selecting you are going to suck…that is the way the NFL draft is set up.
If you have a first or second-round grade…you should go unless you are a mid to late-second-round grade and can jump into the top 10.
After that, it becomes a financial decision because some guys may make more money a whole extra year in college with NIL versus getting into an NFL training camp and getting cut.

It does matter if the team that you might go to historically mismanages your position
