Title: Hyams tweeted this morning that Sutton is a projected 3rd round pick
Post by: Creek Walker on January 07, 2016, 07:18:35 EST
JRM and Kamara are both projected 5th round or lower.

Safe to assume that all 3 return? I think all would be crazy not to.

That seemed to be the consensus of Fulmer and Matthews in the audio of the pre-bowl radio show murfvol posted a few days ago.  I agree.

Unfortunately, the NFL's new salaray structure assures that there isn't as much difference in rookie contracts as there used to be.  They're all slotted, the blockbuster first-round rookie deal is a thing of the past.  Many players just want to know that they'll be drafted high enough to make a roster, because these days the big money is made on your second contract- if you perform well enough to earn it.

Sutton has consistently been a third rounder in CBS Sports projection, which from past experience is usually pretty accurate.  Then Todd McShay of ESPN projected him into the first round a couple weeks ago, but McShay is off quite a bit, so I would think Hyams is correct.

And yes, third round isn't good enough.  Dude needs another year.

Kamara and JRM should definitely stay....

Not really.  There are a lot of factors in play - current academic standing, current family financial situation, potential to improve draft status vs. potential for injury, etc. 

It's never safe to assume anything in this day and time.
