Draft Deadline Day: Most surprising, least surprising NFL Draft decisions
January 15 is the last day for underclassmen to declare for the 2015 NFL Draft. We've got a list broken down by school, the teams most affected by the deadline decisions and below a few of the most and least surprising decisions by college football's top players.
MOST SURPRISING
Baylor OT Spencer Drango, DE Shawn Oakman
Oakman was a possible top-10 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and Drango is one of the best offensive tackles in all of college football. Getting back both players is a huge boost for Baylor and an unwelcome surprise for the rest of the Big 12. Drango has been a three-year starter at left tackle for the Bears and an AP first-team All-American this season, but apparently did not like the response from the draft evaluation board. Oakman's draft stock was based more on potential than production, but another year of devleopment put him in the conversation for overall No. 1 pick in 2016.
Michigan State DE Shilique Calhoun
Calhoun looks like the type of four-down defensive lineman that NFL teams drool over, it is hard to imagine his stock getting much higher in 2015. Over the last two seasons, Calhoun has been one of the most consistent players on Michigan State's defense and his return will help with continuity after the loss of defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi.
Texas A&M RB Trey Williams
Williams has been productive when called upon (560 yards at 6.9 yards per carry in 2014) but has not gotten the type of workload necessary to stand out among the other running backs in this class. At 5-foot-8, 190 pounds, some scouts will point out his size as a negative, but that didn't stop him from receiving offers from Alabama, Arkansas and the Aggies as a five-star prospect coming out of Houston.
Florida OL Tyler Moore
This is arguably one of the biggest head-scratchers in the SEC. Moore started just six games in 2014, but played in 10 as part of a three-man rotation at guard after playing tackle in 2013. The 6-foot-5, 325-pound redshirt junior arrived in Gainesville after one year at Nebraska and he's apparently ready to keep it moving again. CBSSports.com's prospect rankings have Moore as the No. 23 offensive guard in the class and he is currently projected to go undrafted.
Clemson P Bradley Pinion
A punter leaving early? That's something we see every year. Only one punter was selected last year's NFL Draft and just two were picked in 2013. In fact the last punter to declare early for the NFL Draft, LSU's Brad Wing in 2013, went undrafted. However, Wing did become a starting punter for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2014. Pinion averaged 42.59 yards per punt for the Tigers in 2014.

I'm was really surprised Shilique Calhoun didn't go too.

and yes both should have left early. Some day you'll get something right.
