I assume this means he is declaring for the draft, but he needs another year and he is a first rounder.

Why does he need another year?

Eh, how deep are we at the position? If there's somewhere not to fret too much, I would imagine it's at OLB.

If the kid thinks he's ready and can get drafted relatively early, I wish him all the best. He's got the tools.

I also do not follow the NFL at all so I have no real idea where these guys are supposed to end up drafted.

Kirby has created a Draft Factory here, and that's a good thing.

^Agreed. Especially in this era of transfers. Kirby keeps the talent cycling through.

If they're gonna shine, let 'em shine.

Why would it be a mistake, we deep at linebacker? He should go now. The talent just keeps coming at LB.

It'd be nice if they stuck around occasionally like Devonte and Najee did for Bama this year.

And lets hope some of em are mature enough to handle the transition.Isaiah Wilson is working on suspension two and one more frickup away from being out of the league and we all know what happened with D'andre Baker who's also hanging by thread.

So now we will have Adam Anderson and Nolan Smith starting and getting most of the snaps at OLB. I have been anxious to see AA19 get a lot of snaps.

To be first round potential. He is not that this year.

Also, maturity helps at the next level physically and mentally.

Selfishly, he would be a great leader next year for this team.

No doubt.

He's got it now. Ojulari, Jordan Davis, and Richard Lecounte are high football IQ individuals. And they are physically at their peak. No where to go but to an NFL program.

Agree to disagree. I think he is top 40 right now. Combine, Pro Day, and team needs will determine if he gets I'm the 15-30 range.

He’s going in the first round. Again you show your lack of football knowledge.

Azeez is No. 3 on Mel Kiper's edge rusher rankings and he's in other mock draft first rounds. At that point you gotta get paid. Awesome DGD with a productive career!

This is not a knock on Azeez, but Adam Anderson and Nolan Smith will be more exciting and hit the quarterback more imo. We may or may not suck a little more in rush defense but Anderson and Smith are ready to explode. If they could be drafted tomorrow they would be drafted high based on athleticism and nastiness alone.

It doesnt matter what you think. He is getting drafted in the first round in the 2021 NFL Draft. His stock is skyrocketing. No reason for him to come back to Athens.

His combine should be great.

Right now he's looking like an early second rounder, but that should improve.

Mel Kiper's ... rankings


That guy puts out so many "rankings" that it's not unreasonable to think that he'll have at least one person from this board listed as a top prospect for some position.

Bookmarked for a future bump on my part.

Cool, but I have a feeling you won’t be the one bumping it

Wyatt coming back is huge. If Davis comes back, we’ll be solid af.

That DL will be sick if that happens.
