Title: Regarding this years roster, which Vol do you think will be highest draft pick Post by: volsboy on April 29, 2016, 05:41:36 EDT next years draft. I think Hurd is going to have a great year. Sutton will be in the mix. Next years draft should be the best one for the Vols in years. Unfortunately, it means replacing a lot of talent.

Sutton or Barnett would be my guess. Title: Re: Regarding this years roster, which Vol do you think will be highest draft pick Post by: Volznut on April 29, 2016, 06:15:24 EDT Barnett. IMO he is a top 20 pick. NFL loves big pass rushers
Title: Re: Regarding this years roster, which Vol do you think will be highest draft pick Post by: Black Diamond Vol on April 29, 2016, 06:39:59 EDT The NFL is 100% a QB league right now. A premium is placed not just on the QB position itself, but guys that can rush the QB and guys that can protect the QB. A QB, OT, or DE may be drafted before some guys at other positions who are rated slightly higher. And among those positions, Barnett seems to be our safest bet. Maybe Kongbo, if he can live up to the hype (or is he even eligible for next year's draft?).
Edit: I just looked it up. The last overall #1 pick who didn't play one of those three positions? Keyshawn Johnson in 1996. :eek: Title: Re: Regarding this years roster, which Vol do you think will be highest draft pick Post by: Volznut on April 29, 2016, 07:14:00 EDT The NFL is 100% a QB league right now.

Barnett would be my pick right now for our highest draft pick. |
