What does he think about the juniors on the team now especially Welter

Well some of this stuff you aren't going to want to hear.

He said you can kiss OBJ, Landry & Hill goodbye, he thought it might be good for Collins "and he also said Hill" to stay but the others are gone. He didn't mention Welter, and I didn't bring him up. He said with Mett gone from eligibility he doesn't see how OBJ and Landry will improve their draft status. He said with Hill he usually would recommend leaving because of wear in tear of the position but he actually felt that if Hill had a great year next year he would be the first back taken in the draft "he won't be this year" and the difference in pay day he said would be huge. The only kicker is the possibility of getting hurt so he feels leaving is going to be what happens.
