COLUMBIA, Mo. — Will Missouri football produce two first-round NFL Draft picks? Could one former Tiger wind up inside the top 10? This is the week to find out.

Offensive tackle Armand Membou has enjoyed a steady rise up draft boards due to his clean collegiate blocking performances, positional versatility, and young age. Wide receiver Luther Burden III, meanwhile, has slid in rankings as analysts and front offices ponder what to make of his decline in production last season.
