Guesses on the next first rounders on this team

Advertisement
Samson Okunlola probably has the best shot if he puts together a really good year. OJ probably depends on his speed at the combine.

Idk if any other true juniors or seniors have the profile today to get 1st round consideration. Obviously that will change big time in 12 months.
 
Think all the right names have been said.

Wilson feels like the most likely given position premium and proven production. Mensah, Moten, Scott, Samson, OJ, Lucas can all play themselves into consideration with big years. My guess is just Wilson and Moten.

Of the seniors, Fletcher and Barkate should also get drafted. Toure, Rodriguez, Mccoy potentially could as well. I don't think any Juniors not named above will declare early but you never know who takes a leap. Either way, shaping up like another year of 8+ draft picks.

You don't think Wilson has a first round profile? I feel like Wilson and Mensah (given value) are locks if they simply play to their normal capabilities.

OJ, Moten and Scott are where I think can be a huge range on what we think vs where they actually get drafted

Won't Blount also be draft-eligible next year? I think he's headed for a monster season that could help put him in this conversation.
 
Moten,scott,wilson,mensah, O.J.
Im swinging for the fences.

Could very well have double digit eligible players for next yr draft. Back to back elite draft classes for UM.

Mensah I think is great, but I don’t he’ll get a real shot at the first round, no matter how good he is. GM’s by default made the wrong decisions at QB.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Wilson, Moten, or Scott end up in Round 1-2 consideration. I just didn’t watch many non-Miami or UGA games last year, so not as familiar with his overall size vs. athleticism. Just hard for me to see him as a sure fire round 1 guy after the way Bain dropped (imo) vs. where his performance said he should have gone at the same position.
 
Mensah top 10. Moten and Wilson have a shot. Zero chance OJ is. OJ has to beat out Damari first if either can stay healthy. Zero chance on Samson. I am hoping our 3 experienced OL either take big steps in Fall or by a miracle 2 get beat out. I don't think the 3rd takes a miracle. Lucas and Scott have taken big steps this Spring, but it's a huge jump to RD 1.
 
OJ is a top-10 pick—I can’t see ten teams passing on him when he’s clearly a top-five man-cover corner in the National Football League right now. I also think Wilson is a first-round pick.

Bain would’ve been a top 3 pick if he had Wilson’s arm length. Bain is a better player, but if Wilson has the year everyone thinks he should he’ll get drafted higher imo
