CB Vernon Hargreaves - will start from day 1 and play many years possibly making a pro bowl or 2

S Keanu Neal - stud in run defense and solid in pass defense with good size same guess as Vernon long career maybe a pro bowl or 2

DT/DE Jon Bullard - DL are very hard to guess and I think what team or situation they fall into matters a lot but he was a beast as a senior so I'll give him decent chance like 1/3 at a few great years but most likely just another solid starter in the league

DE Alex McCalister - most likely too skinny to make it at next level but who knows maybe he can get used to OLB he is a talented pass rusher

LB Antonio Morrison - gonna be a steal for somebody kids got pro bowl potential imo and don't think he's projected too high

WR Demarcus Robinson - don't think he's gonna last he always looked scared of taking a hit and was not very consistent in college also let a true freshmen in callaway come in and out shine him by a large margin

TE Jake McGee - could be a steal in the 6th or 7th rd dude was a very reliable target for uf last yr and was esp good on 3rd down

Slot Corner Brian Poole - another pretty damn player imo who isn't projected to go high but could end up being a steal for somebody 25 passes defended last 2 seasons at uf so not too shabby

RB Kelvin Taylor - just another decent back who splits carries for a few years at best def not the 6'1" 225lb homerun threat his pops was seriously how bad arse was Fred Taylor healthy and in his prime? It was highlight type runs every frickin week

Jarran Reed - Longtime starter, really good run defender

A'Shawn Robinson - Starter, good run defender, solid pass rusher

Reggie Ragland - Longtime starter, becomes another Bama ILB to be one of the best in the NFL

Ryan Kelly - Starter, in the right system he'll be pretty good, I don't know about Pro Bowl or All Pro good, but solid.

Derrick Henry - Starter depending on the team, homerun hitter, but could lose his job if he can't gain consistent yardage. Not all teams like "long run or negative run", though Derrick is a bit more than that. Big time risk/reward guy

We'll have some more, but I'll just leave it at those 5 for now.

Yep. All Bama does is produce longtime starters in the NFL

You can't even admit one of those players may not translate well to the NFL?

Ehh Im hoping to see a little more objectivity then that if you follow the nfl you know this shits a crap shoot

Also there's just some guys that are super overrated on potential compared to what they actually did in college I.E. Robert Nkemdiche and Leonard Floyd those are 2 guys you do not want your team taking

Hunter Henry- Think he'll be a reliable, consistent target that will be in the league for a long time. May not be a superstar but could make a pro bowl or two.

Jonathan Williams- I like him more than collins. I think he'll be a solid rotational back that can get some tough yardage. Sort of like a Rashad Jennings.

Alex Collins- Seen a lot of people split about his chances in the NFL. I could see him being a really good player or not translating well. I think he could end up like an Isaiah Crowell at worst though.

Sebastian Tretola- Backup that could be a good starter if needed in a pinch. Could stick in the league for a while.

Brandon Allen- He'll probably bounce around the league as a backup with a few starts every now and then after an injury. About like most mid to late round QBs end up. Teams will like his intangibles and toughness though.

Denver Kirkland- I just don't think he's athletic enough to have much success. Should have came back for his senior year. He has talent but I just don't see him making it very long unfortunately.

Agreed for the most part

I think Collins can do really well with the right running scheme and I see Williams just fitting in well but not great with all teams. I think Kirkland has a lot of upside but it comes with a lot of risk. Tretola just seems like a solid player but nothing outstanding. Henry should be a starter in the league for awhile, amazing hands. BA should be happy with just being a solid backup in the NFL, nothing wrong with that.

Pharoh Cooper- very good player in the right system that would utilize him and his returning ability. Could be great in the slot for Patriots, Packers, Saints, or Colts

Jarell Adams- bust. He was a practice all american for us for 4 years but never seemed to translate to games. He put up incredible combine numbers so his stock rose to the point where they say 2nd or 3rd round. He likely won't be able to justify his draft place ala Troy Williamson.

Brandon Wilds- could be potentially part of a 1-2 punch if he can stay healthy...which I seriously doubt. Got talent when he's on the field though

Brandon Shell- back up tackle in the league. Nothing wrong with that

Leonard Floyd- If he's asked to bulk up and become a run stopper (like what Pittsburgh did with Jarvis Jones), he'll be a bust. If he's asked to go get the QB, he'll be a star. No middle ground.

Jordan Jenkins- Will bounce around the league for awhile as a decent rotational player.

John Theus- Surprisingly will be drafted and may stick as part of a rotation. Won't be anything special.

Malcolm Mitchell- I hope someone gives him a chance. I really do. Realistically, he'll be a good special teamer who will catch some passes here and there, but I really believe he would thrive in the right system with a good surrounding cast.

Really hope the Texans are able to get him. He is going to be a beast in the slot.

Of the Ole Miss players typically considered draftable,

OT Laremy Tunsil - assuming he stays healthy, should be a starting tackle for the foreseeable future. Has All-Pro potential and should enjoy a long career. Top 10 pick; would've been #1 if not for trades.

WR Laquon Treadwell - kinda depends on where he ends up and who he has throwing him the ball, but the dude makes plays and I still think he's the best receiver on the board, regardless of speed. He shined in SEC play against a number of NFL caliber DBs, even when teams knew where the ball was going. Hope he can blossom into a monster. Top 20 pick.

DL Robert Nkemdiche - also depends on where he ends up and how dedicated he is to being an NFL player. Has all the physical tools to be a force on the line and a starter, but he's shown he's not always the sharpest tool in the crayon box. If he ends up at a franchise with a strong, disciplined locker room, he has All-Pro potential and would be a total steal at the end of the 1st. Late 1st round, purely because of the hotel incident, his brother, and his "weird" personality.

OT Fahn Cooper - showed his versatility during the Tunsil agent/car debacle and raised his draft stock in the process. Should be a contributor with time, possibly even a starter after a few seasons. Mid-to-late rounder, with great value late.

WR Cody Core - could be a contributor, but not a starter on most teams. Good size at 6'3" with good hands. Ok speed. Definitely has the tools to develop into an NFL receiver and should be a success story for Ole Miss considering he was a composite 3*. Would be a late round steal, but ok-to-decent value in the mid rounds. I'd be ecstatic if my team (Green Bay) got him in the 6th or 7th.

S Trae Elston - not sure why he's not getting much more of a look. He's not a starter, especially right out the gate, but dude seems like he could contribute in the right situation. He had a knack for making big plays for us, and otherwise was a solid tackler with a sense for ballhawking. Late round to UDFA range.

Projected 1st and 2nd rounds picks are generally expected to be good players

Of course I can. They may not translate well to the NFL.

But guess what the fricking title said?

Guess.

If they weren't projected to be good they wouldn't all be considered early round picks.

Also, let me just say that I mentioned Kelly needed the right system. I mentioned Henry could lose his job. It isn't like I predicted they'd be Hall of Famers.
