Simmons and the Draft?
No way we could get this lucky and keep Simmons another year....

"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

No question.
I'm not expecting him to come back but I will be very happy if he does.

Absolutely it would. I'd move 6-8 wins next season to 7-9. I think Simmons is worth another win

I'd love it, but Jeff needs to get paid.

Don't need a DK Metcalf deal.

It does not seem likely. But this defensive tackle is really deep. What is the difference over 5 years between being a 2020 top 5 pick and a 2019 mid first rounder?
Seems like he should probably go pro either way, start working on that second pro contract.

Injured going into the draft, going to cost Metcalf.

Yep, it's one of the deepest d-line drafts of all time. He is a True Junior so I could see it. Clemson had a couple of guys come back. I would advise Simmons to enter the draft if he is guaranteed to be a 1st rounder. I'm still in disbelief that Chris Jones fell to the 2nd round. Huge mistake by a lot of GM's.

I was confused because DK was a junior this year. Got ya though.
Although in his case we'll see how much it hurts him. He still may go where he is projected.

Todd, he is better than AJ, but GM's are going to look long and hard at a neck injury that ended his season.

No question.
At the same time if you are Simmons I think GM's are going to take a look at his past in high school- fair or not- and then there is the fact that there are a ton of DL prospects this year that don't have that issue. So, if he did by 35% chance come back and get injured I would imagine he would probably be taken about in the same spot as he might be projected to this year. Coming back with a presumably thinner DL class may make some financial sense. It all depends on how the NFL views his past.

If he returns and has an even bigger season next year, he could be a candidate for the #1 pick in the 2020 draft, if that's something that appeals to him.

He's the best Dlineman in this draft. But there are a lot of others that are close and will probably be drafted higher for various reasons.

If he played for Bama or Clemson he?d be #1 pick. But in reality I?d take our DL over Clemson any day. Been saying this since Clemson looked pedestrian in College Station opening weekend.
Something seems odd about this entire deal.

I think he should come back take out an insurance policy and play his way to the number one or two pick next year. In some ways I agree he should go if he is a first rd grade (which he will) but a productive 19 season sets him up for a top 5 pick next year plus four years removed from the incident. Their is a shit ton of difference in $& for a top 5 pick and Mid first rd pick

I just can't see him not going in the first round. He's been a model student and model citizen his entire career at State.
He's maybe the best DL ever at State. I haven't looked at but one mock draft but I suspect most of them have him going first round.
As long as he's pretty sure to go 1st round he should go. If we were poised to compete for a championship next year, I could see him maybe wanting to be a part of that. But what is he going to show scouts next year that he didn't show them this year?
