I really think delpit and Chaisson should be the only jr's on defense to leave. I think jefferson leaves on Offense.
Hoping Phillips/queen/logan/farell come back on defense and moss on offense. Any others i missed? IS shelvin draft eligible ?
Hope he comes back we really need him next year.

I am hoping a lot of them come back.

I can't see any of the OL going.

I can't see Queen or Moss going.

I could see Jefferson leaving if he gets a little more buzz.

Shelvin is a risk just because big guys like that sometimes feel like they gotta make their money while they can still move.

Other than that i think we should be ok.

WR is not a position i am super worried about. We have recruited that spot really well in teh 18, 19 class and the 20 class is going to be amazing too.

I really hope some of these guys learned a lesson from some of the guys who left early over the last few seasons only to go undrafted.

My opinion:

May as well celebrate them on Senior Day
Delpit
Chaisson
Jefferson

50/50
Phillips
Shelvin

Could go, but not likely
Jacoby
Charles
Cushenberry
Queen

A lot need to come back. I'm not knocking chi at all, but it is amazing to me the accolades that he gets, given his overall production at LSU. Imo Delpit is currently living off of 2018 results. He has plenty of time to change that though.

Charles will probably go. Some agent will convince him that the NFL won’t notice his six game suspension for failing so many tests

Really, really hope Cushenberry stays.

If any of the Olineman leave for NFL draft early i believe that will be a huge mistake. Phillips and Queen need to come back they will not be drafted till maybe 3rd or 4th round. Thats just based on their performance so far this year.

Delpit (imagine a safety projected in the first 5 picks - even at 15 to 20, that's a no brainer decision)

Chaisson might depend on the grade - of course he is probably served declaring because an injury or an underwhelming senior season might do more damage than it can help. He will absolute stun them at workouts.

Jefferson is the enigma - might even be driven by which juniors declare - if too many ahead of him, he might come back. Of course, I'm not sure I would come back with Burrow gone if I was him - their partnership has made them both a lot of money so far. But, Jefferson may not be a 1st Rounder with a senior year, even, so the time might be now.

Delpit is living off his 2018 season. Not sure how that translates to his draft position, but if I am an NFL team I am not taking him top 5. He has the measureables, but you have to pass the eye test and so far this year he hasnt.

I think Chaisson and Delpit are your no doubters.

Charles, Jefferson, Cushenberry, Shelvin are on the medium to high watch list

Phillips, Queen, Stevens, CEH, ZVR, Moss, Logan, Farrell, are on the low watch list

Any junior that has a chance of being drafted in the first 3 rounds is as good as gone. Hell any junior that just has a chance of being drafted may leave. That’s just the way it is nowadays and you can’t blame them.

I think Jefferson should absolutely go. There's no guarantee Miles will be what Burrow is, and he's Burrow's favorite target.

He's on pace for a 1200 yard, 12 TD season. And that's not including post season.

Chaisson is a redshirt sophomore. If he leaves, it’s because he thinks he will blow up at the combine, which could very well happen. He still has a ton to prove on the field. He is our best edge player, but still lacks experience and consistency. I think he would vault to a top 10 pick with further development and a better junior year after this year under his belt.

Depends. If we win the natty or get to the playoffs many of the juniors will be told that they will never be hotter and can hurt themselves by coming back for their senior year. They may declare, BUT if we win the natty and beat the Gumps I DON'T CARE!!!!!

I think he is one of the risks, but he is getting 0 hype.

It would be nice, but he is getting more buzz, and he is a 4th year player. I don't hold my breath for good RS JRs to return.

We have occasionally had a great WR corps that goes 3 or 4 deep. The current one is almost certainly the deepest ever.

Think how little we've seen of Devonta Lee and Trey Palmer, and Jarrett, Burton and Boutte are on the way. Moore is kind of under the radar, but we are 1 spot removed (Moore) from 4 WRs in the 247's Top 250 players.

He's a midseason All American. So that makes it a shitty opinion.

Makes me wish we were getting a top 3 or 4 spread QB recruit this year. Not saying theres anything wrong with what we have in this class but i dont believe either one runs a spread. If brady is on staff the next few years then i wont be so worried though.

You are correct. Jefferson still may be underrated in spite of his production. He had a good 2018 in a pretty rough offense. And his numbers this year speak for themselves, but you always see the NFL not really recognize production as their measuring stick. I am not sure of his measurables, catch radius, and all that other shite. But it seems to me he gets it done.
