Can someone more internet savvy than me put up a list of who they are losing early to the draft.

Today is the deadline right?

So far I know that from Auburn Shon Coleman and Avery Young declared.

The only underclassmen that LSU is losing is Hawkins although we're still waiting for Beckwith to announce.

On offense

RB Derrick Henry, Alabama: Though it’s not official yet, a source says Henry will enter the NFL draft. How can you blame him? He just won the national championship and the Heisman Trophy. Next in line for carries is freshman Bo Scarbrough, another big, physical back.
RB Alex Collins, Arkansas: Coming off a terrific junior season, it was hard for Collins to pass up the opportunity to move on. Expect Kody Walker, Rawleigh Williams (if healthy) and current ESPN 300 commitment Devwah Whaley to all be in the mix for carries next year.
RB Jonathan Williams, Arkansas: Williams missed the entire 2015 season with an injury, but he’s leaving early anyway. He rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore. See above for replacement options.
RB Kelvin Taylor, Florida: This one might have been a bit of a head-scratcher, but Taylor showed flashes and he has the NFL pedigree. Look for one of the two freshmen -- Jordan Cronkrite and Jordan Scarlett -- to emerge as the lead back in 2016.
RB Keith Marshall, Georgia: Finally healthy, Marshall rushed for 759 yards this past season. But with Nick Chubb returning from injury and Sony Michel back, the oft-injured Marshall saw the writing on the wall.
WR Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss: Replacing the SEC’s leading receiver won’t be easy, but Ole Miss has plenty of viable options. The closest one to Treadwell is Damore'ea Stringfellow, a former Washington transfer who has the size and skill to be a true No. 1 option.
South Carolina may have a hard time replacing wide receiver Pharoh Cooper, who caught 66 passes last season. Streeter Lecka/Getty
WR Pharoh Cooper, South Carolina: How important was Cooper? He caught 66 passes last year. The rest of the wide receivers caught 56 combined. Looking ahead, freshmen Deebo Samuel and Terry Googer might be the best bets to step up and fill the void left by Cooper.
WR De'Runnya Wilson, Mississippi State: Could Wilson have benefited from another season in college? Sure. But his raw ability likely had NFL scouts drooling over him. The good news for Mississippi State is that the team’s reception leader, Fred Ross, is expected back.
WR Demarcus Robinson, Florida: Another head-scratcher. However, Florida just added three early enrollees at wide receiver, which should add depth and help the Gators overcome the loss of Robinson.
TE Hunter Henry, Arkansas: The Razorbacks will certainly miss Henry, the No. 1 tight-end prospect in the draft, but teammate Jeremy Sprinkle was fifth among SEC tight ends in receiving last year despite playing second fiddle.
OL Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss: Many are projecting Tunsil as the No. 1 overall pick. At the very least, he’s a top-five pick. As for Ole Miss, it’s rare for a true freshman to step in and play left tackle, but current five-star commitment Greg Little might be the exception to the rule.
OL Germain Ifedi, Texas A&M: If you can count on one thing, it’s that a Texas A&M offensive tackle will be taken early in the draft. This year, it’s Ifedi. As for a replacement, the coaches think highly of Koda Martin. Also, Avery Gennesy could move from left tackle to right tackle.
OL Jerald Hawkins, LSU: With Hawkins leaving early and Vadal Alexander graduating, the two offensive tackle spots are up for grabs at LSU. K.J. Malone, Jevonte Domond, Toby Weathersby, George Brown Jr. and Chidi Okeke could all be in the mix when it comes to finding replacements.
OL Shon Coleman, Auburn: Two years ago, Coleman announced a pick at the NFL draft. This year, somebody will be announcing his name. Pretty cool. The most likely candidate to take over for him at left tackle is Robert Leff, but the coaches might shuffle some pieces around to find the best five up front.
OL Avery Young, Auburn: The Tigers are losing not one, but both starting tackles to the NFL. Behind Young, there isn’t a true replacement. You might see Austin Golson or Braden Smith move outside to fill the void.
OL Denver Kirkland, Arkansas: For those counting at home, Kirkland is the fourth Razorback on offense to declare early for the draft. To fill the void, the coaches could move Dan Skipper back over to left tackle or give former ESPN 300 recruit Brian Wallace an opportunity to start.

On defense...

DL Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss: With Nkemdiche out for the bowl game, the Rebels got a preview of what next year might be like. And fellow defensive tackles Breeland Speaks and D.J. Jones seemed more than capable of replacing one of the elite players in college football.

DL Chris Jones, Mississippi State: Like Nkemdiche, Jones is a special talent. But the defensive line should still be a strength for Mississippi State next season with a handful of juniors returning, including A.J. Jefferson – the team leader in tackles for loss.

DL A'Shawn Robinson, Alabama: Robinson is a first-round pick, but it was significant that Alabama lost just him and not fellow defensive lineman Jonathan Allen. The Tide will look to Da'Shawn Hand and Dalvin Tomlinson among others to pick up the slack in Robinson’s absence.

DL Alex McCalister, Florida: After he was dismissed from the team in December, McCalister opted to declare for the NFL rather than transfer elsewhere to play his final season. His departure opens the door for freshman CeCe Jefferson.

LB Leonard Floyd, Georgia: Floyd likely was leaving regardless, but Mark Richt’s departure made the decision even easier. The silver lining for Georgia fans is that maybe Lorenzo Carter will finally fulfill his potential with Floyd out of the picture. He’s a natural replacement.

LB Beniquez Brown, Mississippi State: One Brown (Beniquez) is gone, but the other (Richie) is back for another year. Fellow linebackers J.T. Gray and Gerri Green should also help fill the void. Plus, don’t forget about Leo Lewis, a highly-rated freshman who redshirted this past season.

LB Stephen Weatherly, Vanderbilt: If there was one position in which Vanderbilt could afford to lose an underclassmen, it was at linebacker. The Commodores return six of their top eight LBs, and they welcome back former freshman All-SEC selection Nigel Bowden from injury.

CB Vernon Hargreaves, Florida: This was a no-brainer. Hargreaves basically declared for the NFL before the season began. However, many will argue that fellow cornerback Jalen Tabor actually outplayed Hargreaves at Florida this past season, and Tabor is back in 2016 along with Quincy Wilson.

CB Rashard Robinson, LSU
: If you don’t recognize the name, you’re probably not alone. Robinson’s last game at LSU was in October 2014. He was suspended for this past season and was later dismissed from the team.

S Keanu Neal, Florida: With Hargreaves and Neal both leaving early (and possibly Marcus Maye), the Florida secondary will look quite a bit different next season. At safety, Marcell Harris and Nick Washington are the likely replacements for Neal and Maye, if the latter opts to declare.

It was just an ESPN cut and paste.

Pocic will be out 4-5 months, leaving him little time to work at LT. He will most likely continue to play C.

I really do not blame any player for leaving early, but I am especially happy for Shon Coleman.

Kid came back from cancer and is still going to make it to the NFL. Given his age, I think everyone understands he needs to go while he can.

I am an NFL novice, but I would think if you are going in rounds 1-3 you should. This is your shot, and I appreciate all you did for the team but it is time to look to your future. I like the way lots of schools are trying to get the student athletes to graduate in three years. That way they still have a diploma if it does not work out.

Kind of a tangent, but I was wondering about the Alabama kids not getting their NFL grades until after the National Championship game. I wonder how much of an impact that had. On the one hand, you could argue there would be less incentive to stay after winning the championship. On the other hand, they probably had less time to mull over their potential contracts. Once people start imagining money in the bank, it is hard to go back.

Mullaney was an awesome pickup as a grad transfer.

He really helped while Stewart seemed to be getting his sea legs this year.

JWill could have come back next year if they had wanted to use this year as his redshirt year.

So forgive me here, but I know very little about the draft.

Is the deadline 5 PM Eastern or something?

Are we expecting any surprises?

Yea, but this writer thinks he is a junior. See his yardage last season and him referencing it being his sophomore season.

He rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore.
