The selfish side of me hopes everyone eligible takes the “unfinished business” approach and comes back.
A lot of them have families though and need to capitalize on their opportunity. Hard to knock someone for that.

I assume by this decision that the NFL grades are now in?

I have no idea if they are or not. I know someone here and in an article said that Holland stated he planned on coming back after the SECC loss. Of course he could change his mind but it gets my hopes up.

BM on 247 said Russel got a 2-4 round grade.

Why aren't the grades open to the public?

They're personal grades, not team grades. At this point, think of them as football's ACT.

Makes sense. Thanks.

I hope it pays off for him. As much as I love Auburn, if I got a 2-4 round grade, I’d be getting paid.

It's not a guarantee to get drafted there, he could have ended up like Stanley McClover and plummet. I think it's a good move for him to stay and raise his draft stock.
