Mack Going Pro

[goldenbrahm1996]

If he was a sure-fire 3rd-4th rd pick, I'd say it's a no brainer. But the fact that he's been mentioned anywhere from 3rd to undrafted makes this an incredibly questionable decision IMO. I love what the kid did for this program and I wish him nothing but the best, and wherever he ends up will he my new second favorite team (it would be badass if he ends up on the bucs). I just really wish he would've stayed for one more year and been apart of something truly special.

How many RBs get selected before Marlon?  10?  Joe Mixon just announced today too

I've seen anywhere from 9-20 guys going in front of him.

Best of luck to Marlon.  I hope he got a good draft grade.  

Interested to see what DJ will do now he's the feature back.

Bad decision in my opinion. At best he will be a role player at worst special teams. Still, I wish him the best of luck going forward.

Honestly this is the best thing that could happen for DJ.  I hope he kills it for us next year and makes a nice name for himself in a good draft projection.  I think he's the back that has more Sunday promise.

Ultimately in the NFL it's your first non-rookie contract that makes you rich. As long as he plays well and stays healthy he's just getting a year closer to that whether he's a 3rd or 6th round pick.

Agree.  I love MM but not sure if he will be a PTP.

I think DJ might have fielded his last punt/kickoff

As much as this upsets me as a selfish fan, I honestly feel bad for him. He was not given very good advice and it could cost him millions. 

Maybe he was given fantastic advice. They could have very easily said to him that a fourth 1000 yard season does nothing for his draft prospects. If you rush for a 1000 once, coming back proves you can do it again. What does another 1300 yards prove to anyone? If you're going to go in the 4-6 range this year or next, why not start getting a pay check when nothing is guaranteed?
