The 2019 NFL QB class is weak outside the kids from Oregon and WV. The 2020 class is going to be much stronger. Not saying Burrows leaves this year but if he did that would be a big consideration.

Likewise the DT 2019 class is super strong. Walter camp has Lawrence rated as the 17th best DT prospect. He would probably better himself draft wise to come back for senior year.

Yep. Guess you are.

I get what your saying, but the qb position is totally different than a RB,WR,DT when declaring early. You better be ready.

Burrow isn't going to be viewed as a high value prospect.

Greedy and White are going and they should. They have nothing more to prove in college and they will be first round picks.

I think Lawrence goes as well. It's not 100%, though. I'm not sure how high he will go. This DL class is loaded as another poster alluded to. Lawrence reminds me of Chad Lavalais at this point. Lavalias went in the 5th round. I'm guessing Rashard goes higher than that but he has a 3rd/4th round feel to it. I think that's a hard question for him.

I suspect that Fehoko flirts with it, but comes back.

My fear is that Fulton is the Malachi Dupre/Kevin Tolliver of this team. Sure, he's talented but given his lack of on field performance, he's not going until the mid-to-late rounds. He SHOULD come back and be "the man" next year so he can secure a first round contract and guaranteed money. But the same was true of other talented Tigers and they got bad advice or didn't listen.

On offense, I really don't see Burrow leaving absent him just absolutely going off in the second half of the season and LSU making a playoff run. He lacks the NFL arm so no one is going to fall all over themselves for him. His value is in his leadership and smarts. I suspect he is a late round flyer or an UDFA this year. He can maybe play himself into a mid-round pick with a solid 2019. But he has to show the NFL scouts things that won't show in the combine and for that he needs to play. 12-15 college starts is just not enough.

I will be curious to see how Sullivan continues to develop. There are not a ton of 6'7", 235 lb WRs. He appears ready to explode. He's been a real nice surprise. Given that, I could see him going pro, particularly with the talent in the WR room and one football to go around.

All WR's return except maybe Giles because he's not seeing the field as much as he anticipated 


Reminds me of Quantavius Leslie. I think they both committed to LSU thinking they would be the automatic number guys but got passed by better players.

Burrow would be a fool to leave early. He's only started 5 games in his career. I think there's a 90% chance he's back

Lawrence is a lean to come back I would guess. Greedy gone. Devin White should leave but with that wild man anything is possible. He has a chance to be the most beloved Tiger off all time if he comes back.

As always very low. LSU players of late have made poor decisions about entering the draft early. Would be nice to see it stop.

Well by the end of the season he will have started 12-13 games. He will have played in 4 or 5 games against the top defenses CFB in Bama, UGA, Aub, Miami, Fla, etc. He would have plenty enough film for scouts to make a decision.

My thought is that Burrow doesn’t really possess high rd QB physical talent. That will not all of a sudden appear in year 2 at LSU. If his goal is to play in NFL then there might not be much else he can do to improve his stock especially if (and this is a big if) he plays well against UGA and Bama.

If think the only sure locks are White and Greedy.

I see Rashard and Fehoko coming back, Burrow coming back,

Outside of those few spots, we are pretty young all around. I don't see anyone on the O-Line leaving, which is great.

Everyone with a remote chance of getting drafted has been leaving. Hopefully this is the year that changes. Only 1st rounders should leave early.

I really think it is on O to convince White and Greedy to leave.

There is depth at their positions, and those guys being on tv for months leading up to the draft will do wonders for the future of the program.

Losing Lawrence, Alexander and Fehoko scares me. I do not see any of those guys going in the first 3 rounds. If all three leave, I think you need to start looking into graduate transfers and JUCO kids.

Next year's team will be special. My only question right now for next yr is the D line depth.

Why would Fehoko return? I'm pretty sure he came to LSU for more national visibility. You just don't see that many defensive lineman stay for the whole 4 years if they're halfway decent and show pro potential.

Lawrence I could be wrong about but if he does well for the rest of the year, like I said for Fehoko minus the recognition part, he's got no reason to stay another year.
