List of Players Declaring for the NFL Draft

As much as I hate it, I respect Tre Mason. The last two years I have thought he was Auburns best player, even back before he was getting the carries he deserved... He also seems like a nice young man, which helps... Good luck to him in the NFL, glad we won't see him again!

He carried the ball like 80 times in their last 2 games. I think it was the right moove.

Good for Mason, tailbacks need to go as soon as they feasibly can, and realistically his stock won't get much higher. Seemed like a good kid too.

As for Auburn, though, I really don't think they'll miss him much. As long as Gus has a decent OL and an athletic QB, he'll just about be able to take guys off the street and turn them into 1,000+ yard rushers in that scheme.

I agree with all you all are saying about Tre Mason. And Matt I have to agree with you, even though what school he played for I would cheer for North Korea against them but it is hard not to have respect for that kid. He didn't even like a barner to me, he just played his guts out every game for them and was def the best player they had. He seemed like he entirely had to much class to be a barner, I actually wish the kid the best in the pros and I am glad we don't have to worry about in next years iron bowl.. I doubt they find a back with the heart and determination that kid ran with. But, as long as it helps us out I am all for his decision. But he made the right one. Now Robinson needs to follow him.

Calvin Johnson entered the league as an elite WR. Mike Evans does not.

That's because he started as a basketball player. As I said give him time and he will develop. After all look at what he did to Alabama.

Looks like HaHa and CK are going to announce their intention to enter the draft.

As expected, Tre Mason declares for the draft.

Glad to see him go...Does he need a ride?

no Moo's here, he seems like a great kid and I've been a fan of his Dad's since before Tre was born

BOL is reporting that Pagan will declare as well.

Really? That seems a little surprising to me. I don't know much about his back story, but I thought he might stick around another year. Is he graded a first rounder?

Best of luck to them.

Probably not a first rounder, but he will test well and likely be pretty highly drafted. In all likelihood he'll be off the board by round three, and could go higher than that.

Can't say it's a bad move for him, either. Not sure how much higher his ceiling can feasibly be raised, and he's had some injury issues too (blown out knee in high school, and needing shoulder surgery), so he knows all too well the risks inherent and the price you have to pay to suit up.

Losing Mason will have a significant impact on Auburn. When Grant and the other backs were in there they weren't anywhere near as explosive as Mason.

It appeared to me that every time that Grant was in and he was handed the ball, it was always a run outside the tackles. On Monday night, FSU snuffed this out on one play and tackled him for a 3 to 5 yard loss. After that, I don't recall Grant getting the ball the rest of the game. I could be wrong, of course.

Really? And I thought CyKo was making a mistake. Anything short of guaranteed round 2 or better is a mistake imo

It's all about maximizing draft value while minimizing risk. In that vein, it's hard to call what Pagan is seemingly doing a mistake.

Makes sense. But, selfishly, I'd like for him to come back. Never hurts to have experienced D-linemen!
