NCAA needs to change NFL draft status.

You may not, but the NFL does, because it would be a very expensive disaster for them.
They don't have to draft them. They go to the combine, work out on campus, do the interviews then make a decision. If they don't get drafted then choose a college. If the NFL team drafts the guy and it is a "disaster" then that is their fault. No one forced them to draft them.
 
I believe the NFL's reasoning is that 18 and 19 year old kids aren't physically ready for the violent NFL game
The experienced NFL players feel that 99% of the younger college players are not NFL ready and are trying to protect the younger players who will often make mistakes. I trust their judgment and agree with them.

Maurice Clarette was one very good college player who made the mistake of declaring too early.
