i would think that anybody who even thought they had a chance to play in the NFL would submit their info, regardless if they felt ready to leave early or wait another year.

yeah, it's a smart decision just to see where you stand...no doubt there, and if by chance you are a JR with a legit shot at 1st round money....more power to ya brother, have a nice career.

Problem here is early indications are last in the first round that could easily go to second or third round as it did for Witten. Rollin' the dice. Gonna be intersting come time for him to decide on an empty stomach no less.

oh, i agree with that...once you get past the top 15-17 in the 1st round...it can be toss up....

Remember what happened to Jason Whitten? Projected high so he left school early only to be selected very low. TCHFCATUTK was disapointed that he was not drafted high. So Meachem shouldn't even consider leaving unless he's sure he'll be a top 10. This reminds me a lot of the Frank Gore situation. He had a child and left Miami because of how high he was projected. He was drafted low, but now can demand a better contract ala Clinton Portis due to the great rookie season he's having. Does Robo Meach really want all that drama? Boost senior stats and be garanteed a top 10 next year is the wise choice.

it is a gamble...but it seemed to work out ok for Vince Young now didn't it? i only bring that up to say that all of the under classmen are taking a gamble based on what others (who may or may not have the atheletes best interest in mind) tell them.

the risk of injury during a sr season also exists...then what?

either way, it's a tough decision...and i wish him well either way.

I'm not sure if this effects the situation, but maybe he should try going to the draft without signing an agent unless he likes his spot. Others have done this... Would this effect him at all?

Players hire agents early because they can wheel & deal in the months before the draft happens. In other words, look at what happened to this year's top 4. Their agents were already exchanging salary numbers before the draft even happened and the Houston Texans reached a deal before day one started. That's the only thing you lose by entering without an agent. Just don't hire Master P:no:
