Just like last year I’ll be watching the whole draft but only providing real time updates in the first round and when Auburn players are drafted.

Jamel Dean, cornerback

What they're saying

"The Colts were 20th in pass defense efficiency last year. Both their pass rush and secondary were responsible for this, so Indianapolis can take a big step toward correcting this problem by obtaining an upgrade at cornerback.

"Jamel Dean has great size (6-2, 208) and tremendous potential." — WalterFootball.com

Projections

Matt Miller, Bleacher Report: No. 10 cornerback
CBSSports.com: 4th round, Los Angeles Rams
DraftWire: 4th round, New York Giants
Chad Reuter, NFL.com: 5th round, Baltimore Ravens
Pro Football Focus: 3rd round, San Francisco 49ers
The Athletic: 3rd round
WalterFootball.com: 2nd round

Quote

Dontavius Russell, defensive tackle

What they're saying

"Overall, Russell doesn’t have a large impact radius, but he is a stout run plugger with a reliable play motor and scheme-versatility." — Dane Brugler, The Athletic

Projections

Matt Miller, Bleacher Report: No. 21 defensive lineman
CBSSports.com: 6th round, Los Angeles Rams
DraftWire: N/A
Chad Reuter, NFL.com: 7th round, Arizona Cardinals
The Athletic: 5th or 6th round
WalterFootball.com: N/A

 

Darius Slayton, receiver

What they're saying

"Overall, Slayton has inconsistencies to his game, but he is much more than simply a speed demon, showcasing fluid athleticism and length to make catches outside his framework, projecting as a high-upside developmental receiver." — Dane Brugler, The Athletic

Projections

Matt Miller, Bleacher Report: No. 19 receiver
CBSSports.com: 4th round, Cleveland Browns
DraftWire: N/A
Chad Reuter, NFL.com: N/A
The Athletic: 3rd-4th round
WalterFootball.com: 4th round, Chicago Bears

 

Jarrett Stidham, quarterback

What they're saying

"He appeared to hit his ceiling in Auburn’s elementary-level offense, which stressed tempo and quick reads over breaking down coverages and going through whole-field progressions. Stidham has workable tools with his size, arm talent and athleticism, although his mobility is negated by his frustrating internal clock, either holding the ball too long or rushing the process. His tape didn’t have as many second-chance throws as expected, which was disappointing. Overall, Stidham was clearly restricted in the Auburn offense and has the physical traits for the next level, but his slow trigger and inconsistent reaction to pressure are two concerning questions for his long-term future – one of the few legitimate developmental passers in this draft class." — Dane Brugler, The Athletic

Projections

Matt Miller, Bleacher Report: No. 5 quarterback
CBSSports.com: 5th round, Cincinnati Bengals
DraftWire: 5th round, Denver Broncos
Chad Reuter, NFL.com: 4th round, Denver Broncos 
The Athletic: 4th round
WalterFootball.com: 3rd round, Denver Broncos

Well that really does not speak well to AU offense.  Wonder if they say the same about Tx Tech & other spread type offenses that do the same stuff

I read a profile about a former Oklahoma State wideout last year and you would’ve thought that the profile was about Auburn. I asked a poster here that knows all about Big 12 football and that guy said the article was full of it. Everyone loves crapping on the spread system but yet it keeps getting incorporated into the NFL more and more. Gus runs his own system and it doesn’t ask a lot from its QBs and WRs. It mainly asks them to do their job.

I’m perfectly fine with our offense as long as it is actually scoring. When we aren’t sending players to the league prepared to play and collegiate play is inept as well, that’s a problem.  

We are a two back downhill, vertical play action offense. That’s our identity.

Why didn’t Aundray make it in the league?

[aujeff11 6,243]

Let’s get things started. 

With the 1st pick the Cardinals select QB Kyler Murray from Oklahoma.

 

[aujeff11 6,243]

With the 2nd pick the San Francisco 49ers select Nick Bosa from Ohio State.

 

 

[aujeff11 6,243]

I doubt Bosa’s political views will match up in San Fran...

 

Jets are on the clock. I’m expecting Quinnen, possibly a trade up.

Josh Rosen has just entered the transfer Portal!!   🤣

It’s crazy the last two Heisman winners and number one picks had to transfer.

[aujeff11 6,243]

With the 3rd pick the New York Jets select DL Quinnen Williams from Alabama.

[WFE12 9,191]

Quinnen  Williams was committed to us?!!! Are you facking kidding me?!

Some kind of recruiting pitch for Oklahoma though.

[aujeff11 6,243]

With the 4th pick the Raiders select DL Clelin Ferrell from Clemson. That’s a surprise 

 

He was projected to the Panthers at 16 earlier this morning.

Do the Panthers try to move up now that their possible target is gone so early? I want them to get the best LT they can get.  Give Cam some protection. 

[auburnphan 6,050]

Dumb move by Raiders.  They could have moved down and still picked him and added picks.

[aujeff11 6,243]

With the 5th pick the Buccaneers select Devin White LB from LSU.
