Gators entering draft; Cleveland, Jefferson, Perine, Zuniga staying

[T REX]

Good luck Jachai. So who do we lose on defense?

Congrats to Vosean, but I don’t want my jags to draft him. We have enough undersized LBs who can’t cover. By the time they get done with his tape, 4th to 5th round.

Yep. I get the need to go and get money, but whoever advised him must know something we don’t. I just don’t see him going the first two days. Not even sure Chauncey goes before the third.

Looks like Scarlett has declared also. Per Instagram.

Joseph gone? Addition by subtraction.

OP change the title?

The loss could come in to play in that he's the only LB with any kind of athleticism. Burney has been working out some at ILB this season in prep for next. Reese junior? Houston, Miller, someone? I'd say move Moon, but The Athletic said the staff loves Moon and expects him to start next season for Polite or at least in the rotation. Man, VJ was so awful in coverage. I'll never forget the Mizz game where Reese was constantly throwing his hands up at VJ in frustration.

I’m not sure where Scarlett goes either. 3rd or 4th at the earliest but probably 5th or 6th? Not sure what the running back board is this year.

Polite, Scarlett, Joseph and Chauncey?

Polite, Scarlett, Joseph and Chauncey?

And Taylor

We losing errbody up in here! You think these guys would want to hang around to compete for an SEC Championship next year. We really need Perine & Jefferson to come back!

 

[T REX]

Seniors - Jordan, Ivey, Cece, Johnson, Shuler...anyone else?

Yeah I think Burney will play some at backer with VJ leaving. Probably mainly on obvious passing downs.
Houston and Reese give us a decent pair in the middle. Then of course we have Miller and the young bucks
coming in too. Of all the early entrants I think Joseph might be the one that hurts the least thus far. At this point I'd be
pleased if Perine and Zuniga return. I think Carter is ready for strongside end though.

I wish him the best.

He needed to leave. I think he loses carries if he comes back.

 

[NOLAGATOR]

We are deep at RB and we could use the scholy for DL & DB

 

[gatorev12]

Understandable decision and he leaves on a high note after a solid 2018 season and a good performance against Michigan in the bowl game.

With Davis coming back into the rotation next year and Pierce continuing to grow, his carries would have been slightly diminished and it would have affected his draft prospects.

Best of luck at the next level!

Hope Perine stays. A Perine and Peirce backfield is just as stout as anyone else in the SEC.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

I wish him the best.

He needed to leave. I think he loses carries if he comes back.

I agree 100%. Perine is the lead dog and the position is loaded.

Good Luck Mr. Scarlett!!!

 

[alcoholica]

I would expect Perine to leave too. Only reason to stay is if he thought he needed to improve combine numbers

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Man, VJ was so awful in coverage. I'll never forget the Mizz game where Reese was constantly throwing his hands up at VJ in frustration.

How much of a loss is it if he is the only athletic LB.... who cant cover?

He also apparently couldnt find the weightroom. I think he lost size every year. One more year and he would be the size of a CB.

Seems like a great kid, but he was so erratic. Great play, terrible play, great play, three terrible plays.

Classy way to go. I wish Scarlett all the best. We enjoyed watching you run. Make the most of this opportunity, including being a good manager of what you'll earn!
