Today is the deadline to declare. LSU keeps LB Kendell Beckwith and CB Tre'Davious White.

White returning isn't a shocker but a coup for LSU for sure. It also hurts the CB class this year.

OJ Howard, Bucky Hodges, Jake Butt and Jordan Leggett are returning to school, takes a huge dent out of the tight end pool as they were all probably top 5 at their positions.

Yup, cbs white, sutton and king all stay in school making it harder to get corners after the 1st round. Cyrus jones may be a second round prospect now. Kendall fuller might go back up to the late 1st round now.

Surprised to see so many good prospects returning considering how weak of a class it is. And of course it's the one year we pick high.

Basically if you are a team in need of a TE, Free Agency/Trade will be the best way to go and waiting for 2017 is the safe bet.

 

 

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

 

I was hoping Williams would have declared.

And still about 100 underclassmen declared.

No reason for him too. He would have fell quite a bit and he can easily fix his stock with a healthy year.

96 players declared early for the draft, 2 away from the record of 98. Another 11 went early but had their degree, so they aren't counted in the total number.
