Yeah IMO bowl games that aren’t NY6 / Playoff games can and in many cases should be skipped by players declaring for the draft. ESPECIALLY if they have a history of injuries or are currently recovering from injuries.
I get the supporting the team and all that but if it makes you feel better about it, a bowl has very little positive impact on draft stock but can have massive ramifications if someone gets hurt. We want players to get drafted as high possible as that is one of our huge selling points. Winning a bowl game is great but having a 1st round pick to brag to recruits about is pretty damn good.
