Actually, I think he would be a good depth player. Very athletic and versatile 3T that can slide outside in the right defensive scheme.

    At this point he's insane value ...

    One of his biggest problems is that his skill set is only going to fit a subset of the teams (at least in their mind) ...

    But it's hard ... I understand why he went pro and I do agree with the sentiment made that it would be hard for him to dramatically increase his draft positioning next year ... although getting in a little bit of better shape and whatnot could have helped him a little bit.

    Wonder if he even got one of those draft evaluation/forecasts that the NFL offers underclassmen?

    I understand he has other considerations family wise, but hard to believe that by coming back a year he couldn't do better than the 6th (or maybe even 7th) round he's looking at right now.

    The way that guys drastically improve up the charts with ridiculous 40 times, or verts, or anything of the sort it would have made sense for him to come back. This isn't an IT situation where he can't grow and he had an MVP year and thus there isn't anything else he can do. He could get into shape, crush it during the year and then be in shape for the combine. Football has such a short shelf life and non guaranteed contracts seems pretty foolish to go out and try to barely get drafted(if he does)

    Yeah, this bullshit about him not being able to increase his value because he would be 23 is strange. Any player can come back, play better, and get in better shape.

    Getting in better shape and being more consistent would have helped.

    Quite honestly Softy, I think he underachieved last season.

    He was inconsistent. He looked amazing one play, then fucking disappeared the next play.

    I feel like he killed it last year
