Based on the timing of the draft, is it possible for Coffee to go through Spring Practice and have the benefit of practicing with a new QB and behind a new line?
BTW, my assessment on Coffee is similar to my opinion of SA. Neither has been overused in college yet I dont think either can be consistently effective in the NFL unless the have outstanding line play especially in the run game. Neither is as elusive as you would like them to be nor do that have breakaway speed needed in the NFL. I perceive SA better at receiving but Coffee being better at running between the tackles.
The way I see it is that Coffee is not really going to improve his stock next year if he stays because we will have less experienced OL and QB but we will quite likely pass the ball a little more next year. But on the other hand, barring injury, I dont think his stock will drop all that much either.
But if I was in his situation and this is how I viewed it, then I would probably look at going pro and taking my chances.
