Eason went undrafted in first round of NFL Draft

Those combine interviews coming back to bite him

This was always the equation which is why if he heard any rumblings that he might not go top 40ish overall he should have came back...RoadDawg55 said:

3 guys leave early, all on offense, and none get picked up in the first 3 rounds. Couldn't Score points, couldn't wait to leave.
I'm not sure what the difference of pay from first round to wherever Eason goes is, but you got to think he's playing with fire.
Easy to cut a 3rd or 4th round pick by the second year tho. 1st or 2nd and he gets at least 2.5-3 years before they cut him.
He loses practically nothing if he comes back and puts in a similar/mediocre season, he probably still gets drafted in the 3rd-5th rounds. But he has the chance into playing his way into a contract and situation that is not only a better first contract but more likely to get a second contract too. -
Ahmed decision is still probably the correct one, he isn’t even the best RB on UWs roster and people still thought he was a decent pass catcher and had speed.Doogles said:The punctuation of last year's dumpster fire season.

He just did the worst thing possible for his draft stock and bulked up and ran slow... dude needed to run a <4.4 40 and rely on the speed and agility underwear olympics carrying him... anyone who has actually watched him knows he is barely a football player...
If he came back it would have been even more obvious. -
I will die on this cross. He never should’ve played for Washington. He would’ve been a 3rd rounder or better if he would’ve come out last year.

Round 4?

Have to think that’s what Eason is thinking right now, though it would have been hard to predict 1) Peterman giving up coaching after the Rose Bowl, 2) handing away half the practice reps to a non P5 QB, and 3) resolutely not playing the best WRs for 90% of the seasonHuskyJW said:I will die on this cross.

To your point more broadly feels like he missed the last “big white qb regardless of accomplishment” draft last year - nfl teams seem to be more open to embracing a variety of styles and body types. Feels like he and family got convinced he could get drafted high on potential and physical tools alone, and just simply missed. Unfortunate we didn’t have a better alternative scenario lined up for him to stay - and I’m not sure he would have stayed with Donovan vs even a day 3 projection. -

Let me preface this in saying Haener sucks
But perhaps we now understand why Eason wasn’t just gifted the job going into the year ... if you couldn’t tell by just watching the inconsistent play in games last year -
I know it would never happen because agents and amateurism, but it would be legit if after the first three rounds you could withdraw your name from the draft.
It would be a win for everyone, guys who over valued their stock can see where they stand and improve. The NFL gets another year of free scouting fringe prospects, the quality of the college game would increase. The late rounds are basically as much of a crapshoot as FA guys anyways. -
Eason wasn't projected in any mock draft as a first rounder as the draft process was initially playing out. He also apparently bombed his draft interviews, which likely wouldn't have changed much if he came back. No guarantee next year plays out much better after a season with a new coach, new OC, reshaped OL, etc
