I think he'll go between the 3rd and 5th round. Gurley and Gordon are definitely higher ranked backs, and then you have other guys who will make a charge. I think he COULD go second, but right now I'm not confident that he will.


So with that said does he come out for a 3-5th possible round draft pick or does he stay another year to increase that?

Would love to have TJ another year. He would take over basically every rushing record at Alabama, which wouldn't be touched for years.

I don't think he has any reason to stay from a long term standpoint. He won't have many miles on him because he shared the load for three years. I slotted him 3rd to 5th because it seems some injuries are creeping up + he hasn't performed well this year. That said, he has had it rough. Cam and Arie are the only guy getting any push in the run game. He isn't a combine freak type of guy either. He'll probably post a mid 4.5 forty time, if he runs it, showcase average hands, and then of course the 2013 fumble problem will be on the minds of GMs.

But I'm not qualified to really speak to his draft status. Only reason he'd come back is so he could completely rewrite the record books like Coop has, or if we finish ugly and he wants another ring.
