What rounds will our guys go in? Who is the highest drafted player out of AU? Will the St. Louis War Ram Eagles draft another AU player to add to the already impressive ties they have to AU?

I think Reese is the first AU player drafted.

ETA:

In no particular order, guys who will get drafted/get a chance as FA's.

Reese
Sammie
Marshall
CAP
Grant
Therezie
Gabe
Blackson
Mincy
Uzomah

Sammie, Reese and Gabe will all be drafted. I'm really curious to see what happens with Marshall, in terms of teams wanting him as a QB vs a DB. CAP could be a late round guy.

Blackson might. Whitehead might. Therezie? He's such a great athlete. I really wanted bigger things for him at AU. I wish he was better in pass coverage because he could be a hell of a safety.

I could see guys like Uzomah, Fulse, Grant, Bray and Bradley signing FA deals.

Uzomah

Reese - 4th roundish. Centers just don't go high.
Sammie - 2nd round. athleticism and combine will throw him that high.
Marshall - Late round athlete/FA
CAP - Late round back.
Grant
Therezie
Gabe
Blackson - Late round/FA due to atheticam
Mincy
Uzomah

We just don't have those early picks this year

These players are drafted for sure, IMO.

I want to include Robenson Therezie, but he is more of a tweaner. I'm not sure if teams would like him at safety or as a nickel back when the teams go 3-4 wide on offense. CJ Uzomah doesn't have enough notoriety to get drafted, IMO, but would be a steal as an undrafted free agent. He's a very athletic tight end, something the NFL is transitioning to.

I know there was more. You should have added the list to your OP.

The offensive linemen make some bad blocks sometimes

Only a very small percentage of QBs/RBs smell like Cheetos and/or hot dogs.

I think Blackson will end up drafted late due to size and athleticism. The fact he came from a small school in Delaware and started playing football late will make teams think they can still develop him, and maybe they can.

Unfortunately, I think I'm going in drafted yet again.

Blackson would have been great to have at the combine. He'll benefit though from having some scouts present for Sammie/Reece and Nick

No chance of sniffing the NFL, in my opinion. I can't think of anything he excels at.

No way Marshall doesn't get drafted by someone.

Eta: and Gabe Wright is rated as the 6th best DT by several sites. He's getting drafted.

Have combine invites gone out yet?

CAP will get taken late. Workhorse, size, production.
Gabe will definitely get drafted somewhere.
Therezie might get passed over due to his size but that guy will make a roster somewhere, Mark my words.
Uzomah could get taken late depending on his pro day.
Mincy will sign as an UFA and be cut within the week
