Donte Jackson will absolutely be picked in the top 2 rounds. Press man corner with LSU pedigree. He's also a punt returner.

Tolliver regressed tremendously the last few years. He looked great as a freshman, then fell off a cliff. Only good plays he made all season were behind the line of scrimmage blitzing.

That was Arandas way of hiding his horrible coverage skills.

I do not think he'll be picked early, but may be drafted in a late round bc of his size and the LSU DBU thing again.

I'm not convinced he won't play safety at the next level.

Both guys would go in the first 45 picks. Nuff said






That still doesnt make them ready. They are not ready plain and simple..

They may not be ready, but if I were advising either, I'd go ahead and go.

1. Shelflife for DB in NFL is not long. I'd want that extra year of NFL pay before I retire.

2. Big money is on second contracts in the NFL. If you're drafted in any round other than the first, you have a 3 year deal. First round guys have a 4 year deal and the team has a 5th year option that gets players average of top 10 at their position (someone correct me if I'm wrong on this part, but a normal franchise tag is average of top 5).

These kids want to hit FA as young as possible.

Why risk another year of college and injury?

I'd be out as soon as eligible.

Before I hear the Malachi Dupree stuff, he wasn't good regardless. For every Malachi Dupree there's a Travin Dural..

Another year at LSU isn't going to change this.
