Monday’s deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL draft came and went with only a small amount of last-minute drama for SEC programs.

The NFL will officially release its list of early entrants on Friday, but it appears as though 28 SEC underclassmen will forgo their remaining eligibility to turn pro.

Here are some of the SEC’s winners and losers based upon those decisions:

WINNERS

Les Miles: Everything has been coming up roses for the Mad Hatter since the attempted coup against him failed in late November. The Tigers won their final two games, he hired Wisconsin’s Dave Aranda as defensive coordinator after Kevin Steele bolted for Auburn and he’s on the verge of locking up the nation’s No. 1 signing class. Plus he lost just one underclassman to the draft. The last time the Tigers had fewer than three early entrants was the 2011 draft. But with prospects such as cornerback Tre’Davious White, linebacker Kendell Beckwith and center Ethan Pocic returning, the Tigers will be much better off in 2016.

Alabama’s defense: Although Alabama lost defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (and let’s not forget Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry), the Crimson Tide had a number of key players from their championship run decide to stay in school. Those important returning players are particularly prevalent in the defensive front seven, starting with leading sack men Jonathan Allen, Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson. They’ll also bring back cornerback Eddie Jackson on the back end.

Auburn’s defensive line: Auburn’s D-line benefits from the opposite situation of its O-line, where both starting tackles turned pro. Perhaps injury issues convinced defensive end Carl Lawson to stick around the Plains for another season, but whatever his reasons were, Auburn’s defense will benefit from its most talented player returning. With defensive tackle Montravius Adams also coming back, Steele will have two solid pieces to build around on the 2016 defensive front.

Bob Shoop: Tennessee’s new defensive coordinator hasn’t coached a single practice yet, but he already is off to a great start. The Volunteers will get linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin and cornerback Cam Sutton back next season, keeping a pair of potential All-America contenders on a team that should compete to win the SEC East, at minimum.

WIN SOME, LOSE SOME

Ole Miss’ passing game: We can’t understate the value in quarterback Chad Kelly returning for his senior season. He was phenomenal down the stretch as the Rebels reached their second straight New Year’s Six bowl and promptly overwhelmed Oklahoma State behind 375 total yards from Kelly. He will benefit next season from tight end Evan Engram and receiver Quincy Adeboyejo deciding to return. However, the news was not all positive for Ole Miss. To nobody’s surprise, Kelly’s blind-side protector, left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and leading receiver, Laquon Treadwell, both entered the draft. Both players are surefire first-round draft picks and future NFL stars, so their shoes will be difficult to fill in 2016.

Florida’s secondary: Florida’s defense will take a hit with the losses of seniors Jonathan Bullard and Antonio Morrison and junior Alex McCalister from the front seven. However, the secondary could have absorbed the biggest blow if safety Marcus Maye had joined fellow juniors Vernon Hargreaves and Keanu Neal in the draft pool. Hargreaves might become the first cornerback selected and Neal is no slouch himself. But with Maye returning alongside DBs Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson, the Gators still will have a nice mixture of talent and experience in the secondary.

LOSERS

Arkansas’ offense: Razorbacks offensive coordinator Dan Enos will have his work cut out for him next season. For starters, starting quarterback Brandon Allen was a senior and now Enos loses some of his top weapons: running backs Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams and tight end Hunter Henry, plus offensive tackle Denver Kirkland. The Razorbacks boasted one of the SEC’s most exciting offenses in 2015, but it will be nearly impossible for Enos to replace all of that production in 2016.

Auburn’s running game: Not only did Gus Malzan’s team lose both starting tackles, juniors Avery Young and Shon Coleman, but leading rusher Peyton Barber also made a surprise decision to enter the draft. In truth, Auburn has more obvious options in the backfield than it does along the line. Running backs Jovon Robinson, Roc Thomas and Kerryon Johnson all will return in 2016. But new offensive line coach Herb Hand will have to experiment with a number of players in the spring as he searches for replacements for Young and Coleman.
