I've seen projections with Chad as a 2nd rounder and Toliver a 3rd. There is word that this might be the last year without a NFL rookie salary cap so there are going to be some encouragement for guys who normally would stay, to go. I know CJ has alot to figure out and Toliver has very little experience but it is a possibility. I think we will be alright w/o Jones but Toliver would sting some..

Les is pretty good at getting guys to come back for their senior seasons. I think they'll be back (if Chad leaves, it will be for baseball most likely).

Tolliver seem to have LSU spirit, unlike the a-hole fans on here, so he'll probably stay for another.

Not unless he gets some serious time in the field this year.

the lack offense only hurts Toliver. Jones is another story.

Lefty pitcher, with 2 good pitches, throwing low 90's.... you gotta be kidding me.

Look for Tolliver to leave, Julio Jones and AJ Green will both come out next year. That'd make TT immediately at minimum the 3rd WR taken.

He's barely pitched, and his pitches don't have enough movement on them to be given a big-time deal. He'd get a decent shot, no doubt, but it would be a tough road to the bigs. He's better off letting football and baseball play out to make the best choice....IMHO of course.

Coming out of high school with a lot of innings under his belt yeah he is getting drafted pretty high. However a guy who primarily plays football and has only thrown a hand full of relief innings to almost only left handed batters, will not get drafted high enough to get NFL league minimum.

Tolliver leaving would be a mistake. I don't believe his stock would be as high as some are projecting. He needs another year to pad stats, garner attention and impress the NFL teams. This years offensive output will hurt him IMO.

I realize the combines, pro days etc....are much more important but there is nothing like being in the spotlight on gameday to impress.

Todd McShay said last week that Jones currently projects as a 6-7 round pick.

Exactly. They will both be back unless Jones has a breakthrough season in baseball.
