The NFL Draft begins tonight with coverage all weekend long on ESPN, ABC, and the NFL Network. It’ll be a fun weekend for Mizzou fans to keep an eye on, as there will be some Mizzou players expected to be selected in this year’s draft. None are bigger than linebacker Nick Bolton, who will surely be the first Tiger to hear his name called — probably early in the second round, or perhaps an outside shot of becoming Missouri’s first 1st round NFL Draft pick since Charles Harris in 2017.
This is an appropriate time to look at some final mock drafts to get a sense of where Mizzou players stand:
- In a full seven-round projection, Sporting News’ Vinnie Iyer has Nick Bolton in the second round (36th overall pick) to the Miami Dolphins, Tyree Gillespie in the fourth round (131st overall pick) to the Baltimore Ravens, and Joshuah Bledsoe in the fifth round (157th overall pick) to the Minnesota Vikings.
