How high might South Alabama's Gerald Everett be picked in 2017 NFL draft?

It's a foregone conclusion that South Alabama tight end Gerald Everett will hear his name called at some point during this week's NFL draft, it's just a matter of when.

When it happens, Everett will become the first former Jaguar to be drafted by an NFL team. A handful of USA players have played in the NFL, but all originally signed as undrafted free agents.

But just how high can Everett go in the draft? After some early buzz that he might go in the first round, the 6-foot-3, 239-pound Georgia native seems to have settled in as a second- or third-round pick.
