I think burns and elder. Aqm, Stacey and grace need to stay. They have no guarantee money coming to them. They will all get a shot but maybe as free agents.

We will find out very soon. Usually our players ignore the what the league tells them anyway.

Depends who the coach is. Actually, I can see those 3 guys (aqm, coley, grace) staying. Burns is gone and elder is a toss up.

I just dont know who these guys are listening to if they are even thinking about leaving. (besides Burns) AQM might have financial responsibility (fiance and new baby from what was said on here)..but so did Denzel and he stayed another year and maxed out his potential earnings. Coley too. I think Elder is 50/50. But I am selfish because we need him to stay bad esp if Burns goes.

Maybe if we hire a proven coach and respected name (BUTCH!) these guys will stay knowing what it can do for them. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
 
Burns is probably the only one ready for the league. The others would be making a mistake IMO
 
They should hand out condoms during practice. Every ******* one of them has kids before they graduate. Totally ******* irresponsible.

Burns is the only one that's ready. That's it.

He can always wrap up his degree in the offseason.

Exactly. And his "ambitious" draft projections that are borderline criminal. I still have no idea (aside from the early "loans"/cash advances) why these kids even sign with an agent prior to their second contract. The money is pretty much slotted now based on where you're drafted. Just hire an attorney for that deal then get an agent later.
 
Burns: Family to feed, good measurables. Oh he gone.

Grace: leads the team in tackles and he is what he is. He should probably come back but I could see him leaving.

AQM: 2nd leading tackler, 7.5 TFL, 4 sacks. Another guy who should come back but would likely get drafted.

Elder: like Grace, he is what he is. Isn't going to get much bigger with another year and has been our best CB since 2014 imo.

Coley: should definitely come back but there's enough tape on him that he would get drafted imo

None of these guys get a top first two rounds assessment from the league except maybe Elder. He's very fluid and has good coverage skills. Excellent closing speed. Burns will go. He's got very good measurables. He's gotten a lot better with the ball in the air. Needs to play with much better technique. He is still a liability in run support.

Just go ask Tommy Streeter and Brandon Washington how they feel about Drew's draft projections
 
I cant see where Elder would leave he's had a decent year but can really improve his stock .. Grace has played okay AQM would probably be drafted but he would hurt himself financially same way Olivier Vernon did by coming out early he isn't Olivier Vernon either (by the way)

Grace would benefit from being a little bigger he cant help his height but he could be a little thicker

Coley - will be drafted late if you drafted late with another year should you really come out? He's often times hurt pretty sure that will be flag
for scouts he has first round potential blow that by coming out early?

Elder - with one more year of strength and conditioning he too could be first rounder he's thin right now.

Burns- has tape and measurable only one who could be okay coming out early but if I am not top half 1st Rd I would consider staying
