2007 JaMarcus Russell QB right decision 1st overall pick
2009 Ricky Jean-Francois DT academics played a role and he's still in the league
2010 Chad Jones DB right decision and would have gone baseball at the end of that spring anyway
2011 Patrick Peterson CB right decision no brainer
2011 Stevan Ridley RB questionable decision but it worked out for him still in league and with depth at RB he would have lost carries
2012 Morris Claiborne DB right decision 1st round
2012 Michael Brockers DT right decision 1st round
2012 Rueben Randle WR questionable decision but if he had the work ethic would be a star in the league
2013 Brad Wing P had no choice punters rarely get drafted
2013 Michael Ford RB saw no carries made a team was his goal and he did that
2013 Chris Faulk T bad decision
2013 Barkevious Mingo DE right decision
2013 Eric Reid DB right decision
2013 Kevin Minter LB probably should have stayed
2013 Bennie Logan DT right decision
2013 Tyrann Mathieu DB had no choice and made a good decision to sit out instead of going fcs route
2013 Sam Montgomery DE not motivated to play college or NFL it appears
2013 Tharold Simon DB other situations made him leave but he found a decent landing spot because Seahawks love tall corners
2013 Spencer Ware RB again carries in a loaded backfield made him leave he was not better than Jeremy Hill

So according to your post, 100% of the players on your list were not getting paid to play football, and then left early and started to get paid for playing football. Yeah, what were they thinking.

So basically, in your opinion, anyone who left early but was not drafted in the first round or buried on the depth chart made a bad or questionable decision?

Dude is doing alright for himself. It's only questionable from the standpoint that I believe he could have been a no doubt first rounder after a year with Mettenberger at QB. But he got out the year before the new CBA and rookie pay scale went in to effect. Would have been the wrong decision if he had come back and ended up drafted in the second round anyway.
