Greedy Williams
Devin White

Kristian Fulton - I think he is the most likely, and we saw how much his loss hurt Saturday. replacing him and Williams will be monumentally tough.

Lawrence and Fehoko I think really behoove themselves to stay another year, but that has not stopped players from leaving early.

Giles - I think it is probably best for them to mutually part. I am not sure how transfer rules work but he is like 8th on the depth chart right now, with Jenkins and Jones waiting in the wings.

what say you rant?

I say Fulton is a toss up.

I think Fehoko and Lawrence stay. I dont Know how recovered Fehoko is by the time the combine comes around. And he’s gonna need to perform Well to get drafted.

At this point all I think who leaves is White and Greedy.


Lawerence, Fehoko both will return.

Fulton is great, but doesn’t even have an entire season under his belt. NFL teams will take notice of a major suspension, and Fulton is injured currently. Fulton stays another year and could be in line for a very nice payday if he chooses so, I think he realizes this.

Stingley would help soften the blow of losing Greedy, but if Fulton leaves, idk who will step up... I dont think Kary would succeed outside. Joseph maybe, but he seems more like a safety. I know I am missing some young guys, but man would it suck to lose both.

Right now Fulton is a mid round pick, and he improved so much from game 1 to his last game. I think he can come back and make himself a 1st round pick.

Fulton might lose on a big first contract to depart a season early. He would almost certainly make up this money and more by staying another year.

Coach O's biggest recruiting job will be getting experienced players with proven leadership to stay.

Damien Lewis? Hopefully he stays for senior year. Solid OG.

Agree on Williams and White. The rest, I don’t see them leaving, esp Fulton. He just got eligible at the beginning of the season and took several games to get acclimated. I think NFL would like to see a full season of him

I truly don't see Fulton going out this year. That would be a big mistake. He doesnt have enough film at the college level yet. He would benefit himself also by proving he can keep his nose clean and pass drug tests after the bs that happened to cause him the suspension. He would have a chance at greatly increasing his draft stock by coming back for his senior year. He could be a first round draft pick in the 2020 draft ffs.

White and Williams are the only 2 that should go without question, with Lawrence having a good case to enter the draft as well. The rest should stay and increase their chances of getting drafted higher and earning a better contract. They honestly need to stay another year to gain more experience, to perfect their craft a little more, and to mature both mentally and physically.

Just my opinion on the subject though. It does seem like we always have a guy such as malachi Dupre, etc., who gets inaccurate info from a source and obviously enters the draft before theyre ready.

I think Ed Alexander might go due to chronic injuries. He may decide he needs to get paid while he can. He's kind of in a no win situation. He can stay and possibly improve his stock, but if his knee issue is truly degenerative he shortens his NFL career. If he declares, his injury and limited play in 2018 will make him a lower pick due to health concerns.

Fulton has essentially only played one season of college football. While it was a solid season, it certainly wasn't remarkable like Greedy's season last year. If he comes back he will be the #1 CB on LSU's team and get all of the scout/media attention that went to Williams this season.

Interior DL might be the deepest position group in this draft. Lawrence is in that mix, but the question he'll have to consider is does he just want to be drafted, or does he wanted to be drafted high? Or to put it another way, is it better to be the 10th-15th best DL available (this year) or (potentially) the 5th or higher best available DL (next year)

One named not mentioned in the OP is Ed Alexander. Now, he's probably not a 1st round pick if for no other reason than his position isn't valued as high as others by NFL teams. However, the thought (and maybe this is wrong) is that his body only has so much football left in it. Maybe he's better suited using what he has left in the NFL vs. college. IMO, he was a very underrated aspect of the defense this year. When he was out, there was a noticeable drop off

On offense, it's hard to see any of the draft-eligible underclassmen being highly coveted right now.

What about Chaisson? Does he stay, or does he continue to rehab and enter the draft?
