re: Worst NFL Draft Declaration Ever?

While Saban was at LSU I remember an interview he did, he said that at the end of the season he sits down with the players and tells them where they will likely get drafted. If it is not in the first two rounds, he recommended that the player should stay put.

If you are a projected 5th or 6th rounder, why not come back and work on building skills to improve draft status?

The only think I can think why a later round prospect should leave is a running back with an OL that is depleted between seasons, or a WR with a subpar quarterback. There are great NFL receivers out there that never got the chance in college to truly show what they could do on the field due to a subpar QB.

Could it be that he just couldn't make the grades?

Nothing else makes sense.

Aren't those just a matter of which schools want a player?

If Kelly, Kirby, Nick, Harbaugh, and Dabo are all courting a player he must be good. Those coaches can't all be wrong.

I can't imagine Rivals is spending time watching film from thousands of high school games.

I think Maason had it in his head already that he was going to declare this year no matter what.

Wish him well in the NFL.

Wish he would've stayed one more year to try and reach his full potential as a college football player but it's his life, as they say.

Malachi was ALWAYS going to declare early. I worked with a family member when he signed with LSU and that was always his plan. Some plans seem great initially, but there’s no harm in revising them. These players need to realize that when it comes to deciding when to declare.

Although I believe that staying is the best option if you’re not projecting first three rounds, it’s hard to figure who can and will be good pro players. It’s a very different game.

Trev Faulk was the worst!

The answer is Sam Montgomery. Left early and went undrafted.
