but have no doubt his draft stock would have been higher had he stayed at least one more year. He's still a relatively young guy for the draft, there's only one real season of game film on him, and he's still in the process of sculpting his body into NFL standards. Yeah, he'll get paid next year, but that initial contract would probably have been better coming into the draft as a junior with a lot more tape. All that being said, whoever drafts him is getting a steal.
