Had he stayed in school and been clean all year I thought he could have risen to the 4-6 range for sure in 2019.
I agree he would have benefited by staying his senior year, but he's fundamentally a good kid, with ability, and will likely get a combine invite from everything I'm hearing. His "off field" issues are no different than a majority of NFL and college players in general. He took care of his business while he was here and I know first hand that LSU coaches loved him as a kid and a player and didn't want him to leave. How the LSU suspension affects him in the draft is anybody's guess, but there are clubs that have rated him higher than that on ability. We shall see.
