Who ya got?

A. Trev Faulk
B. Malachi Dupre
C. Maason Smith

Maason cost himself a lucrative career tonight. Literally $7-15 million in earnings coming out early.

Kayshon Boutte is up there

He would've had a good shot to go in the 1st round with Malik

Smith takes the cake.

I think he knows he was going to lose his job next year. We have some studs coming in.

How can you succeed in the NFL when you don't even have the chest to grow and compete at the college level?

That's tough. Malachi definitely could've made more money, but he was soft as Charmin. I don't think he would've had a long career regardless.

I'm afraid you are right.

I hope I'm wrong and he's drafted in the top 3 rounds. But, I'm concerned.

Malachi Dupre


I played WR and told anyone who would listen that Dupre would never make it. He had the worst form trying to bring in a catch that I’d ever seen. He never could break the habit of trying to clamp down onto the ball and would never set his pocket. It drove me crazy watching him struggle with that same thing over and over.

Mason needs to get rid of whoever is giving him this shitty advice of going pro.

Trev Faulk LB was the first of the shockers for me. I believe he went undrafted.

It’s Trev Faulk. Maason will like be a taken in the 3rd or 4th round based on pure potential, Faulk went undrafted.

Trev graduated and wasn't enjoying football anymore. I wouldn't have him on the list.

While Saban was at LSU I remember an interview he did, he said that at the end of the season he sits down with the players and tells them where they will likely get drafted. If it is not in the first two rounds, he recommended that the player should stay put.

If you are a projected 5th or 6th rounder, why not come back and work on building skills to improve draft status?

The only think I can think why a later round prospect should leave is a running back with an OL that is depleted between seasons, or a WR with a subpar quarterback. There are great NFL receivers out there that never got the chance in college to truly show what they could do on the field due to a subpar QB.

I agree with yours. But I might move Smith to #2 ...but Faulk is no doubt #1

Could it be that he just couldn't make the grades?

Nothing else makes sense.

Will he even be drafted. Truth is he did nothing at LSU.

I think Maason had it in his head already that he was going to declare this year no matter what.
