re: Matt Hayes: Jayden Daniels is LSU's QB1, and it's not close

The only thing he gets from another year at LSU, is another year at LSU.

If the top 5 grade is real and not just Mel Kiper's opinion, he's probably gone, but 5th QB isn't a first round pick, and first rounders get ~3x as much as second and later rounders. There actually is quite a bit to be gained by staying a year assuming he believes LSU's staff can take him to the next level. Which is probably true because he's really not very far from being elite. He just processes defenses a bit too slow while being gun shy leading to a lot of balls thrown late. That's a relatively easy fix so long as you have a decent coaching culture.
