re: Spoke with an NFL scout regarding early departures today.

My opinion, call me crazy, but OBJ is NOT NFL-ready. He should return. Yes, he's incredibly talented.

He doesn't think that, in fact he thought both OBJ and Landry are NFL ready and he said OBJ gets picked ahead of Landry even though he truly feels that Landry is and he stated it this way "a much" better receiver. But with OBJ's special teams return ability that is the biggest reason that will jump him ahead of Landry.

He said that given everything that they do know and having to project, that OBJ and Landry will not improve their draft status next year over this year. The biggest reason is an inexperienced QB starting in the toughest division, in the toughest conference in the league. He just can't envision how it is going to get any better than it is right now for them. He is not saying it couldn't happen he just doesn't like the risks. He said if you are not going to improve your draft status than purely from a financial football point of view you should leave and that is how he feels regarding OBJ and Landry. I thought he would say the same thing about HIll but he actually thinks Hill will move up dramatically on the draft board next year if he stays and stays healthy.
