Everybody on that list is replaceable. Alexander will hurt the most bc of other guys graduating.


You really think Hawkins is replaceable? Hopefully he does stay. Depending on what position they put Pocic at, I'd hate to break in an LT, LG, C, RG, and RT. Pocic has yet to play in games at tackle outside of maybe garbage time last year. Domond is the guy who is raw, but powerful, that would step in at RT. Brumfield would take one of the guard spots, leaving Dodd at center and either Boutte/Clapp, at RG. I see Pocic as the LT. I wonder though, would they put Teuhema at a starting position?

I've been thinking since the beginning of the season that Dillon Gordon should start making a gradual transition to tackle, especially if he aspires to play in the NFL.

He needs to add 40 lbs in the offseason then. I would not be opposed to it.

Kwon is the best defender on the team this year. He should do very well at the combine and I could see him going as high as the 2nd round if he has a standout year (very good season thus far).

Jalen Mills - he has pretty much tapped out his potential. He is going to be a nickle at the NFL level unless he can beat the odds and play safety (he is small).

Jalen Collins - no higher than a 4th rounder but he has tapped out on his college development. If he has a solid year, then leaving isn't a bad choice.

I would be surprised if we lose OL...none have been overly impressive yet this year.

Hunter looks like a freak but he is not as dominant as he needs to be. He can definitely benefit from another year - if the light ever goes on, then he could be a first rounder after his senior year.

None of them are high round picks. If more than 2 leaves then there is deifnately a problem

Kwon
Mills
Vadal
Hunter
Dural


I think they all go. Some people might say Dural stays because of Harris... but the thing is, Dural was awesome with Jennings and think if he comes back, his production would dip due to Dupre, Quinn, Diarse, etc all taking that next step. And it looks like it most likely will be a weak WR draft class this year.

And its all about potential in the NFL... you dont have to have great stats in college to be a 1st or 2nd round pick in the draft.

No he doesn't. He's already listed at 295. He doesn't need to be 335 to play tackle.

Before the season, I would have guessed Dural, V. Alexander, Hawkins, Hunter, K. Alexander, Mills and Collins.

Now, I'm thinking maybe Dural, K. Alexander, Mills and Collins.

Hunter looks the part but it's not translating into consistent production. And most of the entire OL outside of L. Collins seems to be struggling. Then again, who is likely to go and who should go are often two different things.

Yeah, I agree. Some of these guys have already established themselves as legitimate NFL prospects, but there's still a lot of football to be played this year, and a lot of time for draft status to change.

Also, on average, players with degrees have longer NFL careers.

Vadal Alexander will definitely...he's a 1-2 round guy.


Says who? Detillier? Oh, that is the guy that said Freak was a 2nd rounder...

I was talking to my source (player/friend) last night about early departures. He thinks Mills stays. If J Collins has a strong year he's prob gone. Doesn't think any of the o-line juniors leave (mentioned V Alexander as being kind of soft). Dural he said would be back too. We didn't talk about Hunter.

I spoke with Kwon's mom before the Sam Houston game and she said it all depends on how this year goes (super nice people).

In this day and age, I'd be surprised if any came back.

Our secondary will be STUPID good next year if Mills stays.

What have u been watching? This guy has been below average at best this year. He plays lazy and his pass blocking needs a ton of work.
