It would be a huge mistake if he left early. At this point, he's a late round pick. A good senior year, and he could probably rise a couple rounds such as the 4th.
Anyone know the difference between fourth and sixth round pay? Just asking...
Here is how it works using examples:
Every deal from the fourth through the seventh rounds will only contain minimum base salaries. The difference in the deals will be the amount of the signing bonus—which gradually decreases with each successive pick—except compensatory picks at the end of rounds receive the same signing bonus. Most fourth-round deals will have splits in the first two years.
4th Round: USC quarterback Matt Barkley, the first pick in the fourth round, should sign a four-year, $2,657,028 contract with a $497,028 signing bonus. Levine Toilolo, who is the final pick in the fourth round, should receive a four-year, $2,460,584 contract with a $300,584 signing bonus from the Atlanta Falcons.
The median deal in the fifth round should be worth $2,348,800 over four years with a $188,880 signing bonus. In the sixth round, the median should be a four-year, $2,263,968 deal with a $103,968 signing bonus. The median should be a four-year, $2,209,628 contract with a $49,628 signing bonus for the seventh round.

After the second round is when things change greatly and it obviously gets worse from there..."The third round picks are the first draft choices that do not receive the full 25% annual increases in their deals." Also, what is guaranteed greatly changes from after the second round.
