    From what I understand Brockers is only doing it because he graded 1st round and his family is very poor.

    Out of curiosity, how would Shep know he won't be used in the offense next season?

    What exactly is the point of going JUCO for his Sr. year?

    Brockers leaving is bad news if true.

    The point of going Juco would be if he goes to a small school and blows it up he could get drafted. And dolemite, has he ever looked to be a big part of the offense before? Nope.

    No point at all, he can just transfer down to a lower college clasification. It happens a lot with guys stuck behind talent logjams. It is damn rare for a starter.

    New season, new era of QBs with a second year under Krag, and a new WR coach. He would have every opportunity in the world to excel. I don't see how his NFL draft stock improves much at a JUCO unless he just goes gangbusters, but he has just one year in a brand new system to do that. IMO, busting his hump to be a standout at LSU as a senior will do far more for his pro stock than 1,000 yards receiving at a JUCO.

    I'm wondering if he's seeing the writing on the wall now that Beckham has emerged as a legit playmaking receiver, with much better hands to boot.

    The reason that was the thought was because he never until now I guess said he was gonna try for the draft, at first he was just implying he wasn't coming back.

    Yea he has been thinking about the NFL for a file and put in for a draft grade. He got a very good one and could be gone in the 1st round. Almost has to leave. Montgomery and Randle got lower grades than him.
