Alabama Juniors potentially entering the NFL draft
- Thread starter dmac.2055
- Start date
I have a hard time seeing Cyrus stay if he gets a first round grade. I know his parents put a premium on education but usually CNS will even advise them to go if they are looking at most likely going in the first round.
Cyko and Hubbard should stay IMO. I know Hubbard has the measurables for a first round grade but he's never really put it all together on the field. Not saying he has played bad but I don't think he's dominated. Same thing for Cyko. He didn't play bad this year, maybe just a little underwhelming relative to what his preseason expectations were. Haha should definitely go.
The fact that we have Cam Robinson committed is a pretty good indicator that Cyrus K. is declaring for the draft.
Yea I'm just not sure about playing true freshman on the Oline. I know CR is gonna be a beast but the trenches in the SEC is grown man football.
CR probably wouldn't start but don't forget Cyko played a good bit as a true freshman. If Cyko was returning, that would mean CR would probably redshirt. I just don't think he would have picked us if that was the case. I may be wrong.
Unless HaHa's injury is worse than they are letting on, I think he is gone. Cyrus regressed a bit this year, in my opinion, but not enough to keep him out of the first round. Too much potential; every NFL offensive line coach is going to think they can fix whatever problems he has had. He will go. Hubbard is the one I think is too close to call. He has some highlight reel plays, but also some costly busts. Of those three, I think he has the most to gain from another year in college.
I always hesitate to say anyone who can go to the NFL should stay because I never know the young men's personal circumstances, which are none of my business.
And I have zero doubt that Cyrus will eventually get his degree, if he isn't on track to graduate this spring already.

Hubbard flirted with leaving last season.
Cyrus is gone (we have a JuCo tackle committed. Hopefully he works out better than Leon Brown)
HaHa is up in the air but we're young (but REALLY strong) at Safety. With Collins and Sunseri providing leadership, we'll have a guy in Ronnie Clark who is more Mark Barron than Rashad Johnson and a guy in Hootie Johnson who is more Rashad Johnson than Marcus Spencer who could step right up and play. Hope HaHa stays though

I agree with this. Not that he had a bad year at all, but wasn't as dominant as I think most thought he would be.

I think Dix and CK are no brainers. both will be 1st rounders. just cant turn down that money. Hubbard IMO just has reached his ceiling for the college game. great measurables, but is normally lost in the shuffle when it comes to making big plays. having said that though i think he's gone. even 2nd round money is better than struggling or barely making it. pagan should return. He'd be a late pick. Depriest will be interesting. he came on strong towards the end of the season. with a strong combine i could see him going by round 3 which isnt awful. just depends on what he wants to do.
I'd love CyKo to stay, and he could probably get better, but the question is always this; will the coaching he gets at 'Bama be as good as the coaching and work he'll get going pro. If we still had pendry, maybe it would be better at 'Bama, but I don't know if that is true now.
HaHa honestly has very little to gain by staying. He's the #1 FS. Could Saban make him even better with another year? Probably, but if he's already the best rated the gain wouldn't mean anything draftwise of $$ wise.
Hubbards been somewhat limited this year -he was the #2 OLB for the 2015 draft, but not sure he'll rank that high based off how he did this year. that said, his measurables are going to get a lot of attention and playing both OLB spots for us as well as lining up as a DE in a lot of sets is going to also get a lot of attention.
Pagan probably wont' get the grade to go high especially since he's only been a starter for one season.
Trey D might give it a look, and for the 2015 he's ranked as high as 4th, so might get a good grade and be tempted, but for that year 4th rated is only a 4th round grade, so not that compelling - will be interesting
With Hubbard's size and speed he was projected as a fringe 1st round pick last year. He will go and be a late 1st round pick IMO.
I think Depriest is in a similar situation as CJ was last year.
He should come back next year and improve his game to a first round pick. I think he can do it.

I think our only hope to keep CyKo next year is if his parents want him to play 1 more year next to his brother - or if that is something that he personally wants.
