Great game for both and many expect them to dominate all year. Do you guys see them entering the draft with Mett's exit? To me, I think their measureables will hurt their stock (which is stupid), but with a big year and really not much to gain from a salary standpoint in the NFL, do they bolt or stay?

One will go, one will stay. Not sure which is which yet though.

If they both put up 1k yards, I don't see any reason to stay, especially with the new guys coming in. I'd love for them to, but these days players are leaving as early as possible despite lower round projections because of the salary slotting.

Landry will go. Jr. stays drops too many passes. He leaves after next year.

Something tells me beckham is more likely to leave....I think a deep threat is valued more in the draft. Landry's ability really lends itself to the current spread trend for heavy passing teams in the slot. I think they probably both should stay, but I also believe at least one goes.

To me it would seem like they don't project very high. Both on the short side as far as getting drafted high. Don't know the heights though just thought they were both like 6'1

I disagree. If they continue the rest of the season like they do, they'll both shoot up draft boards.

Beckham seems to have potential out the roof and we see this every game. Dude makes insane plays whether returning kicks, ends arounds, or deep passes. But then he has drops that make you shae your head. He could have easily had over 200 yards receiving.

Landry doesn't have gamebreaking speed but he is one of the toughest WR's I've seen in awhile. He could legitimately play Safety for a lot of teams in the country. He wrecks shite with his block game and catches almost everything thrown his way. That's pretty invaluable in this day and age's NFL.

Might as well get used to it, they all leave after 3 now.

Landry
Beckham
Collins
Hill
Hilliard
Johnson
Ferguson

That's probably all.

Projecting high really isn't much of a factor anymore. There's only a couple of tiers now. 1st round and drafted.

No, but waking up for a 7:30 class is a factor, and it's one of the biggest ones.

As talented and valuable as I believe they are, the fact is the combine does magical things for guys like Darius heyward bay. I see their stock bring comparable to Kenny stills because of size and athleticism....stills coming off of some injury concern goes 5th round.

Beckham will gain more momentum going into the draft because of his athleticism. I think both guys are middle to late rounds in today's draft. 3rd round is about normal to see some receivers to go off the board. Linemen and DBS make up most of the 1st 2 rounds.

Mrwiseguy.....we are saying the same thing....not much holding kids back from jumping to the draft.

I hope they stay, but i doubt it. They'll have an amazing year.

I like the enthusiasm but it was just one game. Lets wait until after maybe UGA game before saying we will have two 1,000 yard receivers. Landry looked really good and Beckham made some nice plays, but we are still going to run the ball alot this season. I enjoyed the offense though
