where Clapp and Weathersby rank.

They’re not valued the same at all. Think about how many centers are taken in the first 3 rounds and then think about tackles. Frankly they both should come back but I understand if Toby leaves.

Y’all do remember he almost drove to Houston to try and save members of his family right? I would blame him one bit.

Draft stock wise- they both should stay.

If this information is accurate, what round, if at all, does he likely go?

I'd bet Weathersby will be drafted and/or signed as a guard prospect. He's a better run blocker than pass protector.

ETA: Clapp can also play Guard or center

I've got a connection over at Westfield and Weathersby definitely wants to declare (mostly family circumstances). I hope he uses the rest of this season to put some good film together and stays on the field.

I think Clapp stays until his eligibilty is up. His family does not need the money all that badly.

So another mass exodus of JRs this draft?

I can only speak about Weathersby and he seems to be in a unique situation.

Declaring too early could cost yourself way over 10 million dollars.

I hope your correct about clapp staying. I've been assuming he's gone. He has decent draft position now. An injury would do him in.

Weathersby played his best game as a Tiger Saturday.

Tender, as soon as the rookie salary cap was implemented, it is now a matter of starting the clock to get to your second contract. That will be where the money is for someone like weathersby.

Most don't make it to their second contract.

And there is a difference between a 5 million dollar contract in the 2-3 rounds vs 2.5 million in 6-7 rounds. The signing bonus is 400-500k vs 60-80k.
