re: Draft departures from this team

Hill: He's gone.

Hilliard: It depends on his draft grade; I don't think he'll be able to improve his stock much, so if he grades out in the top 4-5 rounds he's gone. If he doesn't then he'll probably stay just to see if maybe he can push his stock up, but I don't think he's gonna rise a whole lot. Teams know what they're getting from him by now.

Landry: Definitely gone if Beckham goes. If Beckham stays and we don't get a championship this year, he might come back for that. Would still say he probably goes.

Beckham: See above replacing Beckham with Landry.

Collins: Also depends on draft grade. He's got legitimate 1st/2nd round potential, if teams don't think they've seen enough after this year to make that decision, he'll come back.

Turner: See above, but I don't think he's 1st/2nd round material, probably mid-rounds. Gone if he grades out 4th round or better, back if it's fifth or worse.

Johnson: Depends on draft grade, he's somewhat underachieved this year and might benefit from coming back for another year.

Ferguson: He's impressed so far but might still come back to improve draft stock. I think he's more likely to go than Johnson.

Allen: Not going anywhere.

Rasco: See above.

Collins: Not going to the NFL, fair chance he transfers if White/Robinson/Mills become our nickel corner set

I think Hill, Landry, and Beckham are gone and should. All are NFL types who will get drafted in the first 4 rounds without doubt (obviously I think they go early in that)

The only other one who should even consider it is Collins. However...because he will have very little film at tackle (compared to others) and that there is a ton of high level OTs in the draft this year...AtM, Bama, Tenn, and Mich. I just don't see him getting a high enough grade to make it with it.

Hilliard will go un drafted if he leaves.

Ego and Freak will carry 5th round grades at best from scouts based on film.

Rasco is a late round pick. Collins would go un drafted.

we have zero defensive players who should consider early entry.

He would been academically ineligible for this season anyway.

Here we go again. Why don't we encourage our guys to stay for four years? Why do our fans encourage our guys to leave? As I have stated before, we need more Whitworths and Dorseys. If our defensive guys were still here we would win the national championship without a doubt. In my mind, it is about LSU, not the business of the NFL.

Our fans are urging players to leave?

Offense: Hill 60/40 goes Collins 50/50

I'll be shocked if Hill doesn't go. It's never 100% because you never can tell, but it's as close to 100% as you can get. Same with Collins...95%

defense: None go (if the draft were held today...per Detillier)

I have a hunch Jalen Collins goes. He might not be drafted, but that won't change with another year. He's a third year guy, so he's eligible. He won't sniff the field next year. And to those who say he can't make the NFL if he can't play at LSU, LSU has waaay more talent at corner than the average NFL team. Also, I think AJ goes, and EGO is a threat, as well. So, 1 to 3 losses on defense.

None on defense ,, maybe 3 on offense.

I see only three first day picks on this team. Hill, Mett, and collins.

I don't think obj and landry have the measurables that n.f.l. scouts like. They aren't 6' 2" or above and they don't run 4.3. Their best day is 2nd round more probable 3rd and possibly 4th round.

Anyone on defense, forget about it. they better come back next year or they will be sitting home alone next year.

Mike D is a well thought of Pro scout if he is saying (Rasco,Freak,Ego) need to stay then they need to stay.

The scouts will let these guys know they haven't produced. If they go pro they will be 6th-7th round guys make very low money.
