What they have to realize now is alot of teams have been putting an emphasis on what's between the ears, not just pure athleticism, and if a guy like bandy declares early, one itll show he's not a good decision maker in their eyes, #2, itll show he's desparate, so they'll slow play em, his agent might front him $30,000 at best, #3, itll show he's not hungry, as oppose to staying 1 more year, showing leadership, getting his degree, i know he wants to bet on himself, but its been proven, nfl guys will take a bigger chance on using a pick to draft 4year guys than the 3rd year, non-accoladed guys. Now should garvin had stayed another year, he could've have, but garvin did all the other things he needed to show in his game, like being a run stopper, his qb pressures were real high and that alone will impress scouts, his 1st year being on the strongside and he put in that kind of work, but also, he has film that showed what he can do agsinst 1st round o-linemen, so his body of work and upside is their. He more than likely wont be on the strong side in the nfl, but he'll definitely be a weakside d-end that wrecks havoc. Keep in mind people his tackles for loss over the last 2 years, he was running neck & neck with gw3 last year. He's a guy a gm will feel they can bring em in, and he can give them a strong 5 to 8 year run.
But bandy on the other hand, again i know he'll bet on himself, but right now, he might want to think about it, and if coach diaz is smart, he'll leave coach rumph alone. If he starts axing competent coaching over recruiting, the handwriting for him will be on the wall.
