re: Tre Mason makes it into Mel Kiper's Early 2014 RBs

Any chance he leaves early?

I was wondering the same thing after the game Saturday... dude's the most complete back we've had since Tate... outside of the occasionaly fumble, he doesn't really have a weakness in his game -- can run inside, outside, can catch passes out of the backfield, blocks well... good size/speed ratio. Amazing balance as well.

with RBs, you never know... I wouldn't blame him at all if he left early, but wish he'd stay.

At his size I don't see teams drafting him any higher than the 4th round. IMO that is not high enough to leave early.

Whether he can be a workhorse back or not, I believe the NFL teams will see him as a situational back which lowers draft stock. Also remember, RBs are rarely drafted any higher than late first round in today's pro game. There will likely be some RBs drafted ahead of him.
