So Im guessing if they all came back then this time next year the 1st team All-Sec D will look something like this...
All-Sec - T. White
All-Sec - K. Alexander
All-Sec - K. Beckwith
All-Sec - J. Collins
All-Sec- D. Hunter
All-Sec - J. Adams
Lol, I wish.
Btw, great thread!

I'm like GCTiger11, I hope they come back, but who am I to advise them. I don't know their circumstances.
re: Official NFL Draft Early Departure Discussion ThreadPosted by Ironhead985 on 12/10/14 at 12:56 am to RoyalLSU
I think Kwon and the Jalens bolt and maybe Hawkins, but the rest I feel good about.
re: Official NFL Draft Early Departure Discussion ThreadPosted by USARMYDasher on 12/10/14 at 1:08 am to Ironhead985
Odd that Kwon isn't receiving much love. I honestly believe all should return except for Vadal who actually is most likely to stay.
Jalen Mills is gone. He's been playing at a high level since his freshman year. He's on a few teams boards around 2-3 round.
Jalen Collins stock isn't that high. He's played well, but never had a true breakout game or season. Should return to be an anchor next to Tre White.
Kwon Alexander will probably see where he would go, but this year's draft is full of OLBs. Especially seniors with a year more experience. Kwon would benefit from another solid year on the defense with a 100+ season. When LSU linebackers get recognized (Sheppard, Minter, etc) they had 100+ tackle seasons.
Hawkins should return. Hasn't necessarily been explosive on the line. Especially since the line was hit or miss this season. Physically ready, just needs more experience and finesse on his technique.
Vadal Alexander is the most capable NFL ready player on our team. Been a starter since day one. Really showed out. I believe La'el Collins convinced him to stay till his senior year for a first round pick which he would be. Coach Cam Cameron even hinted towards him staying.
Travin Dural started out hot. Has a lot of talent. Poor quarterback play really hindered his season. Will almost certainly return next year, but will leave after next year.
Danielle Hunter came on strong in the middle of season. Could potentially leave and get picked up in rounds 6-7. He needs to return one more year and have a big season 6+ sacks/TFLs and maintain at a high level and will certainly improve his stock. Another year will boost him up. Could certainly see him as a Keke Mingo in hiding.

Chances of leaving:
Mills - 80%
Vadal - 70%
Collins - 65%
Kwon - 50%
Hunter - 35%
Hawkins - 25%
Dural - 5%

Just found this link. Think it may help.
Noticed Kwon wasn't on any of these mock drafts. Neither is Mills. If those 2 come back, I honestly don't see our D losing a step whatsoever.

-Kwon would benefit greatly from another season.
-Mills gone
-Collins should stay
-Hawkins Stays
-Alexander is probably gone, but could benefit from staying.
-Dural stays
-Hunter stays
In a best-case scenario, I think Kwon and Alexander stay so we only lose Mills, and that would be awesome. Mills is a very good safety, though.

why would he stay if he is UDFA prediction?

If QB play gets better he will get a big bump. Hope he comes back
We should have a good returning group next year.. Biggest hole to fill will be O-Line but I think we will be fine there.
QB I know the rant hates this position but it will get better either harris will emerge or Jennings will play well enough to get some good offense.
RB we lose two but LF7 will be beastly plus some good RB coming in this class
WR very young will improve
O-line biggest ?
D-line should get much better
LB If Alexander comes back we will be very good, but even if he doesn't we will be good
CB/S I think good again even though we have holes to fill.
Offense will get better, we will lean heavy on the run but the QB will improve I think, enough to get us a decent offense.
Defense could be shades of 2011 good. Our D will be top notch and one of the best defenses in the SEC and the nation.

They're all gone, just accept it now
re: Official NFL Draft Early Departure Discussion ThreadPosted by Jonathan Ikon on 12/13/14 at 11:56 am to Brettesaurus Rex
Only Vadal and Hunter should consider it. There are valid reasons for both to come back and understandable reasons for both to leave. Depends on whether they want to be patient and get guaranteed $10+ million or be impatient and lock in guaranteed $1-2 million now.
The latter isn't chump change but it's not "set for life" either.
Everyone else being speculated about would be making massive mistakes coming out now.

Bump to add that LSU sent in for the following 5 draft grades: Vadal, Kwon Alexander, Jerald Hawkins, Jalen Collins, and Danielle Hunter.
Not in the 5 was Jalen Mills
LSU petitioned to get additional draft grades.
