Walford to turn Pro?

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.

It seems to me that if he is deciding the night of the bowl game, then he has already decided to leave. Not sure he could play in the bowl if he declares. Best of luck to him if he goes. With either Williams or Olsen the likely starter next year, I expect a whole lot more use of the tight end. Both seem to be more more the chains and less go long qbs. We have not do crap with TE in years and it use to be one of our great weapons. More precise methodical QBs will throw more TE type passes. Kid would probably improve his draft status by staying. Then again, he seems to take a ot of scary tackle aroung the knees running full out instead of lowering shoulder and punishing defender. Either way, he has given us our money's worth. Good luck to him.
 
I am going to be honest, the kid with time left who should consider the NFL draft is Felicano. Besides Denzel, he is the only one I could see leaving I am not saying that he would or should, just saying he is much better NFL prospect than Chick or Walford.

He can play guard or tackle, he is incredibly strong and looks really good at both positions. At 6'5 320, I think he could be a 3rd-4th rounder this year. I think he comes back and is drafted in the 2nd round.
 
Clive is what he is he should leave early if he thinks he finds out he will get drafted he will never be a top 5 round pick just a solid backup NFL tightend he's looking like a 6-7 rounder this year or next
 
The FSU game set him back. He's a late-round pick right now. If he stays and improves, he can rise into the 4th round area.

Way too inconsistent. If he has graduated and gets a mid round grade, then I can't hate on somebody wanting to support their family. He needs to come back and improve though. Perhaps learn how to not fall down any time somebody dives in the vicinity of his legs.
 
Sorry he can go or stay but is not NFL material. Either way he needs to complete his degree to support his family.
 
Dude is a beast and was always open.... Morris just NEVER looked his way. And when he did dude balled out. And the playcalling didn't help him out too too much.. Lots of the same play action passes in the flats to this kid with the corner waiting to hit him when he turns around. He still gained some yards but this kid is more of a vertical threat TE. Wasn't used right here AT ALL. I'd bounce too. He won't produce more next year as the other TEs will get more action.

RWilliams seems to me like a VERY TE friendly QB. (Unlike Morris) I think he will utilize Sandland and Walford alot next year. I think he should stick it out.
 
If you rewatch the games you'll see he was always open!! In the mid of the field but was rarely passed to. I'd be yelling at Morris every play if I were him. Lol
