The 2017 Secondary is a great example of potential outcomes - Jaquan Johnson, Sheldrick Redwine, Michael Jackson played their Senior years in 2018. Redwine - played better, tested great, was a 4th RD pick. Draft stock moved up. Jaquan - played the same, tested terribly, was a 6th RD pick...

Kam Chancellor is an extreme outlier, no doubt. He also hurt his draft stock by coming back for his Senior year. My feelings on Williams is - he struggles in coverage compares to most Safeties, but I'm guessing he's better compared to most LB's. I'm assuming he's more athletic than most LB's...

Yeah - my first thoughts for comparisons are: Miami guys - Ray Ray Armstrong & Jamal Carter were hybrid type guys that made the NFL but didn't really play much Isaiah Simmons & Taylor Mays - There were jumbo athletes where it didn't work out great Mark Barron & Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah - those...

I agree with you Williams probably has the most to gain by coming back ans changing to LB. But I don't look at it as an easy cut & dry decision. The key for Williams would be not just have tape of him playing LB, but have GOOD tape of him playing LB. Right now he's looked at as a Day 3 pick...

I actually agree with you that coming back might be the better decision - but I don't think that means leaving early is therefore a bad decision. I think it's a very hard, complex decision for these players to make that that should be looked at from a lot of different angles - but most people...

Yes - you get paid more the higher you're drafted. Watch the full draft & count how many times when a Senior gets drafted you hear an Analyst say "I liked his Junior/Sophomore tape better" Your argument/opinion only considers the most positive outcome for Taylor/Kinchens/Williams if they...

It becomes a numbers game. 11 Seniors were drafted in the 1st RD. You have Taylor as a 3rd-5th RD projection. There's probably about 40-50 early entrees with a 2nd-5th RD grade right now you could say "made bad decisions and should've come back to have a shot at going in the 1st" But if they...

There's 2 ways to look at this: From a College perspective - you're probably a better college team if you have 5 5th Rounders than if you have just 1 1st Rounder. From an NFL perspective - you can't trade 5 5th Round picks for a 1st RD pick. Can't even get a 2nd RD pick. You'd only get a...

I think people confuse "CAN improve your stock" with "WILL improve your stock". You're just giving yourself a chance, but it's a risk. All the things Taylor / Kinchens / Williams could work on as Seniors is the same they could've worked on as Juniors. There's no difference. A Senior season...
