And if you look at the difference in salary for late 1st round to mid first round it does make some sense. It's the difference between sub 1mil numbers and 1.5 mil type numbers.

I understand, but he also loses one year of paid pro ball that he'll never get back. Even if he improves his draft stock next year by coming back, I'm not sure he'd improve it enough to make up for that lost year of earnings. And if he goes now, he's one year closer to his second contract.

Clearly, if a guy comes back and jumps dramatically in the draft, he was wise to come back, but I think Martin will go high enough now that he should go.
