Though it certainly would have been fun to watch J.J. Watt play another year for the Badgers, it?s impossible to find fault with his decision to leave early. Most mock drafts have him going in the middle to late stages of the first round, though that is subject to change between now and the draft in April. Watt?s stock could conceivably rise a little higher if he had a great senior season, but it wouldn?t be enough to make the risk of playing another year of college football worth it. One injury or even a slight dip in performance and Watt could be out millions of dollars.
