The rest of LSU's lineup, you can say goodbye to Laird. There's absolutely no way he goes higher next year without being an SEC POY candidate. Beyond that, his value will be depressed as a senior as none of them have any choice but to sign at that point.
Enjoy Laird this year. It'll be his swan song in Tiger Town. He'll be a Minor Leaguer come late June-early July.
Laird may not be drafted higher than the 35-40 rounds. Kid is a great college player but projects horribly at the next level. If his signing bonus isn't 6 figures, which it likely won;t be, he'd be better served by finishing his degree. There is little use for a slap hitting outfielder with no power and a weak arm in the pros. Players like that are a dime a dozen. No offense to him as he's been great for LSU, but it's just reality.

The 35-40 rounds is a bit of a ridiculous exaggeration. I don't disagree that he needs to put on a lot of weight to be able to get balls into major league outfields, but he's an amazing fielder with an arm that honestly has improved each year-though it's got a long way to go before you can say he's got a good one.
He's not coming back. I assure you.
