[Mt. Crushmore]

The yearly underclassmen declaration thread. Did a player declare for the draft or announce his return to college? Post it here.

 

Here are 2 good trackers:

Declared

Declared 

awesome, ive heard rumors on both ends, if he went back another year i wouldnt blame him at all, dude is a bonafide top 10 pick who may fall all the way to the 4th because of injuries, maybe he knows coming out this season will get him on a good squad like the ravens

I can see him as another Brent Urban where the Ravens have a higher grade on him than where he goes and he falls due to injury concerns that may not be substantial. I think he'll probably go early still because of the OLB draft class, but I wouldn't be surprised if we somehow came away with both Carl Lawson and Ngakoue. I think Lawson is probably going to be a first round pick though.

his combine probably ends all hope of him falling as far as hes currently projected, but maybe, just maybe... we luck out. 

 

acl's just dont scare me as much anymore, sports medicine has nearly made them a one and done thing, if we got him in the 2nd it would be the steal of the draft

I fully agree. I also don't think he's really prone to injury. To earn that label you need to not play through injuries and have to either suffer the same injury multiple times or simply have a substantial amount of injuries. Two injuries isn't enough for me.

i agree, thats why i had a 2nd round grade on stefon diggs but wanted him in the 3rd

[Mt. Crushmore]

Christian Hackenburg declared for the draft. Let the massive debating begin.

ACL injuries can happen to anyone. Just has the appearance of injury prone because of all the time he missed in his collegiate career.

[ravensnick]

This is old new by now, but my boy Hassan Ridgeway declared. He should be a 3rd/4th rounder IMO. He rushes the passer and defends the run very well.

Wonder if Bill O'Brien picks him up in the second or third round so Christian can end up in a offensive system he is similar with?

[Mt. Crushmore]

Notre Dame WR Will Fuller has changed his mind and is declaring for the draft.

[Cillmatic]

Boyd declared

[Mt. Crushmore]

Turns out Carl Lawson hasn't declared yet:

Tunsil and Treadwell both declaring as expected.

makes sense, as far as he could fall if he declares this year, he knows he is capable of first round and all he needs is the numbers to back it up. 

 

he could declare this year and almost certainly go 3rd/4th round, or he could bet on himself to stay healthy and if he does, go in the first, and if he doesnt stay healthy, well did it really hurt his stock? hes still gonna get drafted, too much talent there.

[ellicottraven]

Eli Apple has already declared right? He would be a good candidate for us, but I doubt he falls into the second round where we pick...

[Mt. Crushmore]

Based on this tweet from Carl Lawson, I think he's returning to school: https://twitter.com/carllawson14/status/684852865026928640

Yep. I can see him there in the early 2nd round.

Yeah, I was thinking he would return to school honestly. He was slowed down by the injuries this year. It just puts more pressure on us to get an edge rusher early. 

[ravensnation5220]

Sounds like kevin dodd is applying early. Another pass rusher to take a look at

[GrimCoconut]

If I am not mistaken, tomorrow (January 18th, 2016) is the deadline for these underclassmen to declare.

[ravensnick]

Jonathan Allen is returning to school. He and Tim Williams will make a very good pass rush tandem very year for Bama. 

[GrimCoconut]

Just got caught up, but I've seen quite a lot of popular names here returned to school:

 

OJ Howard

Jonathan Allen

Travin Dural

Cameron Sutton

 

To name a few.

Clemson is pretty much returning their whole offense and adding Mike Williams back in. That's scary. 

[GrimCoconut]

I suspect Ozzie called Cam & Nick & told them to tell those guys to return so he can scoop them up next year, potentially. Lol
