Nose tackles rarely go 1st round. Kenny Clark was consistently the best player on the field for UCLA and that's the exception. Norton is a 3rd/4th guy imo. He would have a lot more media buzz if he returned for a year but it's not a given that he would be drafted any higher.
McIntosh should be 2nd round at worst. There isn't much more he can show with another year of college. If I were him I wouldn't risk injury.
Besides Walton those are the only guys who should consider declaring.
Also important to note that the most important financial factor is the 2nd contract so in some cases (RBs especially) it's better to declare a year earlier and potentially get drafted lower than delay that 2nd contract by a year and risk injury. That's why so many declare every year - many to their peril unfortunately.
