he staying or leaving, Bama fans? he's a 3rd-4th round 2012 pick, but sometimes they leave early.

I bet he leaves with the rest of the defense.

Stays. Good kid. Good student. His mother has passed away, but he promised her he'd get his degree.

He doesn't have any of the external factors that traditionally lead a kid to leave early when he shouldn't (grades, discipline, family issues, etc).

exactly the type of info i was looking for. good to know and good for him. this draft is pretty deep at OLB, and he'll make 1st or 2nd round money next season if he stays and gets better.

obviously he will be THE leader on your defense next year i would assume.

He'll stay. Needs a bit more PT and exp.

Tough call. Depends on if Lester stays imo. Nico is very much in the Hightower mold, whereas CJ is more like Rolando. Different type players. Depends on who is more vocal, but I definitely expect strong play out of him in 2012.

Lester have any kids/had grade problems in the past?

If he's going to go to the draft at safety this is the year to do it. He's a 2nd rounder 2012 probably.. and next year, much deeper at the position.

I'd be surprised but not exactly shocked.

A guy like Upshaw was more likely to leave last year than Nico would this year. Of course that doesn't mean Nico won't leave but I don't expect him to.

He should stay. He is a little overshadowed this year, but next year he could make a name for himself.

stays with chance to elevate his stock next year
Hightower probably goes late 1st early 2nd
Mosely will be a stud next year

I feel Trey Depriest will get a lot of playing time. Will probably start out as a backup but will most likely see lot of playing time next year at one of the LB positions.
