If a few of those Juniors had stayed we would be rocking the world.

This is why going early just to get drafted is sometimes a dumb decision. I get Mingo and Reid going. They were first round picks. But, if Montgomery, Minter, Simon, and Logan come back, everything is different on this defense. The team would be the best in the country and it would have an incredibly high profile. You'd have more first round picks next year, just based off of reputation.

Heck, we could still have had Michael Brockers and Mathieu.

With all the guys going early, it is like the defense was hit with NCAA sanctions.

We need to figure out how to get some guys to stay past their junior year when they are mid round picks.
