The choice to opt out is so puzzling as he ended hurting his draft stock.

How did opting out hurt his draft stock? I doubt it did. There is a belief, on here, that returning for an extra year automatically increases a player's draft position. That is not true. Shelvin showed enough that the pros know exactly what he is. LSU was moving to a system that was not a fit for him. He would have ridden the bench last year. That's why the big fat Utah NG left.
