Current draft value: Round 2 - Round 3

thats what his "value" is, it doesnt mean he would get drafted there... there is no reason for him to declare early to get drafted in the 5-6th round. You are losing a shite ton of money... the vast majority of guys do not stay in the league for 5+ years... you cannot rely on the "retirement" package, the vast majority of what you make comes from the first contract for most guys...

This is the most loaded DL class the last 10 years in the draft... no way he should declare... He should come back, get better with his hands, prove to NFL teams he is durable, go in the second round next year and cash a $5 million dollar check instead of a $100-500k one. Hell, Aranda could promise him some calls to get his sack numbers up vs the weaker teams...

for far too long guys have left early thinking they would get either drafted late or sign as a UDFA and make tons of money... Proof is in the pudding, they make nothing and are the first ones cut... He has no kids, no family to "take care of" his school is paid for, living expenses are paid for, get your degree... hell, we should have a pipeline of future employers that should promise these guys jobs if they stay and graduate... Its not the same NFL it was 10 years ago where you needed that "extra year in the league" they are cutting guys left and right because there is so much talent and so many guys that "can" make it in the league...

There is literally only two guys that should leave, Greedy and Devin... and if devin wants to stay one more year with his team, he is a grown arse man, he should do what he wants... the money would be there the next year regardless, either NFL contract or cashing an insurance policy... Any company in the state of LA would hire that SOB in 2 seconds flat and pay him a shitload for a cush job that any of us wish we could have because of his name recognition...
