Who would you say are the top 5 players that left for the draft that should've stayed an additional year?

[Win4AU 4,052]

1.  Darvin Adams

4. DE in 2006 that had all the sacks against Bama

I’d agree with 1-3.

For me, the other two would’ve been Arryn Siposs and Jerraud Powers.

[AU Is Gold 410]

In no order

1. Jeff Holland

2. Ronney Daniels

3. Corey Lemonier

4. Tray Blackmon

5. Nosa Equae

[bigbird 60,498]

McClover

Holland 

Seth 

Lawson 

King Dunlap 

 

Cooper 

Thor

[AUDaddio 79]

In no order

1. Carl Lawson

2. Tray Blackmon

3. Corey Lemonier

4. Seth Williams

5. Nosa Equae

Can't argue with Ronny Daniels, Jeff Holland and Rober Johnson as well.  I think a lot of players got bad advice before NFL changed their evaluation process.

[Win4AU 4,052]

Did Lawson leave in 16?  If so I can’t imagine Lawson on one side and Holland on the other in 17.  Would have been sicckkkk. Disregard if he was here in 17. 

[AUINSY 2,228]

1.) Anthony Schwartz

2.) Anthony Schwartz

3.) Anthony Schwartz

4.) Seth Williams

5.) Seth Williams

On the flipside, I think having both of them for an extra year would have masked our team's shortcomings and would have prolonged our pain as a football program. Some basketball ones are in there somewhere, but I don't follow it closely enough to be knowledgeable.

JT Thor

I wonder what Trey Blackman is doing nowadays. The guy had more natural talent than Lambert, Butkus, or Jack Ham, just couldn’t get his head screwed on straight.

But, would King Dunlap cracked the starting line up?  Career backup at AUBURN (shocker).  Always remember watching the team run out when he was at AU, and he was seriously a foot taller than everyone else on the field.

I'm terrible at this because my memory is trash but some dudes I would have liked to see give it one more season:

Peyton Barber

Jeff Holland

Shariffe Cooper

Sammie Coates

Tre Mason - he absolutely should have left but with hindsight maybe another year sends him down a better trajectory.

Schwartz

Seth

Lemonier

Yes but he was injured early in his senior year and could’ve taken a medical redshirt.

Didn’t Barber have a few somewhat productive seasons in Tampa Bay?

He was wise to leave when he did.

Kam strung together a 4 game streak that rivaled Auburn’s greatest backs.

James Bostic should have stayed for the 94 season
