Leaving early?

Kirkland seems to be making a solid decision. Probably 2nd rounder right now.

WR Mike Thomas is #OhioState 's 8th player to leave early for NFL draft>I spoke to an NFL scout who LOVES Thomas' competitiveness.


OSU losing a lot of guys
 
Based on the numbers on that page:

Years 1998 - 2002 there were 168 total early entrants into the NFL ... an average of 33.6 players per year.

Years 2010 - 2014 there were 391 total early entrants into the NFL .... an average of 78.2 players per year.

There are already 69 early entrants this year with 2 weeks left for players to announce.

Quite the trend. I'd be curious to know the success rate of these early entrants.
 
Lol @ Cardale Jones. One year too late.

Def got bad advice. Jones would have been a 2nd rounder at worst last year. He was as hot as any QB out there. Loyalty gone wrong.

Kirkland just got bad advice when he was told to move to T. If he had stayed as a dominating guard he could have been a 1st rounder IMO. Its happened before. Wasnt James Carpenter a G? The kid from Bama? Forgot who drafted him in the 1st round..

He was a tackle at Bama, drafted by Seattle.

I wonder how Urban's heart is. Might have to take a leave for medical reasons
 
FSU lost Ramsey and the kicker... I know younger brother will kick for them soon though..

I saw something a year or 2 ago about it. I don't remember exactly, but the numbers weren't good.
