Predictions on who stays and who goes to the league

[squeezebox]

It's that time of year again when we take a look at who stays and who goes. Feel free to add anyone that I likely missed. Just my opinion on these.

1.) Cade : 100% back, maybe not healthy
2.) All: 25% back, 75% league bound
3.) Lachey: 25% back, 75% league bound (deep TE class this year)
4.) Higgins: 10% back, he had an absolute monster year I'm assuming he is league bound, back up the brinks truck please
5.) Seabass: 10% back: I don't know if he can improve his stock at this point as much as I would love to see him back
6.) Cooper: 0% back, Bro should be gone with a 1st round evaluation, it was fun while it lasted
7.) Black: 50% back, going to depend on his evaluation
8.) Harris: 25% back, went through senior day, but I see him as a UDFA
9.) Colby: 75% back, few prognosticators have him as a 3rd rounder

I think Logan Lee could have 1 more year also if desired.

that would be a solid keep given the loss of Thompson.

 

[nu2u]

I have a feeling Deonte Craig will test the draft waters.

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

We have had a couple of players that were not ready for the league despite their evaluation. Davion Nixon and Josh Jackson come mind. Both would have been better served by staying an extra year.

Craig is not ready.

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

Higgins is ready to play at that level.

Lee is married. Might need to get a real job.

I must admit, I had to look at the depth chart to determine who Seabass was….

Sebastian Castro?

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

Sebastian Castro?

Yeah, I was drawing a blank as to who might be good enough for the league but wasn’t listed. Makes perfect sense after I saw the depth chart….

I really like Logan but I think he may need too add a little muscle at the NFL level

I don't disagree but both had slam dunk seasons stat wise and likely weren't going to match that by returning.

Picture of said prognosticator:

But they lacked the acquired skills to be successful in the league.

Iron was hot, especially for Jackson. He wasn't going to have a higher stock by staying another year. Nixon possibly but that's hindsight and hard to say.

 

[nu2u]

Craig is not ready.

4/5 Rd IMO, maybe higher. He has all the skills teams need. Certainly a great oppurtunity to improve his value if he returns.

How did their careers go? Short sightedness.

 

[BurgHawk87]

How did their careers go? Short sightedness.

Also in hindsight. There's no guarantee coming back would have changed any of that. They were both highly talked about during the season they declared so I can't fault them for taking the jump. If coaches or those "in the know" were telling them now is the time or conversely you should work on a few things, that also plays a part but we'll likely never know that portion.

To add on to this, Josh Jackson was drafted in the second round. There isn't much room to improve on that as a primarily zone cornerback.

 

[Etalicus]

I see Cooper staying he is the type of player that won't like the taste left in his mouth from his injury this season. I think he probably still feels he can improve more.

 

[MWardT]

I must admit, I had to look at the depth chart to determine who Seabass was….

Also known as the Cuban Missile!

 

[globalhawk]

Would you turn down 15 million?

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

I guess that all depends on how much college d-line players are making these days.

 

[Ladell-hawk]

It's that time of year again when we take a look at who stays and who goes. Feel free to add anyone that I likely missed. Just my opinion on these.

1.) Cade : 100% back, maybe not healthy
2.) All: 25% back, 75% league bound
3.) Lachey: 25% back, 75% league bound (deep TE class this year)
4.) Higgins: 10% back, he had an absolute monster year I'm assuming he is league bound, back up the brinks truck please
5.) Seabass: 10% back: I don't know if he can improve his stock at this point as much as I would love to see him back
6.) Cooper: 0% back, Bro should be gone with a 1st round evaluation, it was fun while it lasted
7.) Black: 50% back, going to depend on his evaluation
8.) Harris: 25% back, went through senior day, but I see him as a UDFA
9.) Colby: 75% back, few prognosticators have him as a 3rd rounder

I think one or both of the TE's, ( All, Lachey) will be back. I think Black, Craig, and Harris will all benefit from another year.

Not everyone drive is money and some are driven by what they have or haven't accomplished and I get that feeling from him and the way he plays.
Yes he could.leave for the money I just don't see it just an opinion

He is gone, and should be.

 

[ichawk24]

Cooper is gone. He can continue to improve in the NFL.

Guys going early to become first round picks is a good thing for the Iowa program, I'm glad to see him go.

I thought All had just one season, but it would obviously be great if he could return.

Coming off of another injury, I wonder if he isn't best off heading to the league TBH. Lachey really should come back IMO due to the depth of the TE position this year. He could be a 1st rounder next year.

 

[squeezebox]

Black is returning, Craig is returning. Higgins and Castro next?

Looking Likely Lee is headed toward the pros

Graves will def get more time, and time for Pittman.

I honestly haven't paid attention to where he is lining up, but Is Graves getting time at DE?

DT

DT

So in other words, not replacing Lee at all, which was how the question was lining up.

 

[DutchyFunStar]

Gonna be tough for Lachey and All if they are not healthy enough to go for combine/draft days. You gotta be a sure-fire top tier first rounder to get drafted when coming off an injury.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Insider tidbit: I’ve heard Lachey is coming back.

 

[hawkisoaker]

We have a couple younger kids who should fill right in. 90 Brian is legit, as it a couple RS. 1 I know has a motor!

 

[hawkisoaker]

Lachey and All Jr both back, along with KJ, LW. Brown is legit WR, we just need 1 in case SE doesn’t pan out. Bostick is a wild card, kid has skills been hurt 2 yrs now finally healthy. OFF should be just fine.

D needs a solid lockdown DB. 1 big horse in the middle, with Jackson and Higgs returning! If Coop or Castro return, we really don’t need much from the portal this yr, which is why KF should take his time and get the right OC.

Yall are just wanting to play the portal when this is a yr to save the $$, we don’t need much if most come back who should.
