Hilliards not ready
OBJ and Hill need to go. They are ready
Landry is 50/50 to me on upgrading his stock, but he will go.
AJs need to stay and show better effort
Ego probably gone

we've reached the point in football that basketball hit a long time ago.
the "talented" players all left before their senior year, so there are never any seniors left for the draft. this opens up more spots for juniors and redshirt sophomores to go get big money.
nfl teams are going to grab the "talent", the guys with the physical characteristics and hope they can coach the rest. you can't teach speed, size and arm length.
it's still hard to fathom that they want to draft guys who aren't even that good in college. but if you look at it, you start to get the picture.

Taking off the P&G glasses, how many of them are truly ready for the NFL?
This the fundamental misunderstanding most college fans have. It doesn't matter if they're truly ready, it matters if they think they are and the NFL grade tells them they are.
Right now with the rookie wage cap, NFL teams don't have to spend money to take a chance on the second day players. They're more than willing to waste those picks if every three or four turns out a good player. The college players are more than willing to sign up, because they all believe they're Mingo and not Sam. The real money comes on the second contract, so why not start serving your sentence earlier. There's not much a college coach can do, aside from convincing a player he could jump to the first round next year and make more money.

quote:Offhand, I'd say Beckham and Landry. Not sure if Hill is, just yet. While we widely assume he's going just because he's our starter and the most talented guy, I still kinda wonder about his conditioning. Of course, you have to look at the Gurley/Lattimore situation and take that risk of getting hurt into account.
Taking off the P&G glasses, how many of them are truly ready for the NFL?
Hilliard- no. Wouldn't be drafted at all.
Collins- not ready.
Johnson- not ready.
Ego- maybe, but could use another year.
Magee-no, but better chance than Hilliard due to his speed.
Rasco- no.
Allen- no.
