Which Vols Will Be Drafted First Next Year?

Lots of talent this fall should translate into lots of early draft picks next April for Tennessee.

We'll keep our eyes focused on Saturday, when Marquez North and perhaps one or two others might hear their names called in the NFL Draft. But next year, we should have high levels of investment on Thursday and Friday as well.

We were going to ask which Vol would be the first name off the board in next year's NFL Draft, then realized Derek Barnett is an obvious front-runner. He's projected to go sixth overall in one of the two mock drafts at WalterFootball.
