Jeremy Banks, LB, Tennessee
Paxton Brooks, P, Tennessee
Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee
Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee

Best of luck to all of them for a strong showing (Hooker going through the interview process and Wonderlic Test)

 

[LA vol7]

I get the feeling we can get used to sending that many every year under Heupel! Best of luck men!

Solid list!

I wish Carvin were invited.
I knew Banks would be a longshot to be invited. He should still be drafted regardless.

If Hyatt drops sub 4.35 he's a top 10 pick

Hyatt, Young , and Wright will all be 1st rounders.

What would Hooker do at the Combine other than Height & Weight?

You have to go back all the way to 2002 for the last time UT had 3 first rounders drafted.

John Henderson (Jags, 9th)
Donte Stallworth (Saints, 13th)
Albert Haynesworth (Titans, 15th)

Inside pre-NFL draft prospect interviews: What teams ask at the combine and why

More than anything Hooker must continue to impress the NFL scouts that he can play in a NFL scheme.

Wait even our vacuum cleaner got an invite dang CJH even made the cleaning crew better

I don’t see BY going in the first. He doesn’t have that kind of talent. Very underwhelming career here. Never lived up to his potential.

I expected more pressure this year. But I thought Will Levis was complete trash, so the nfl surprises you sometimes

Good luck VFL's !!! Go get it done I want to see you all on Sunday. So proud of all you guys !

How the hell wasn’t Carvin invited. Guy will be playing center for someone in the league. Watch and see.

Hmm, I got grilled for saying this in another discussion. Said Garner hasn’t gotten the production out of our ends.

______________________
I believe Tillman will go ahead of Hyatt. Pros will like Hyatt's speed but they seem to be in love with receivers who can win the 50/50 matchups. I believe both Hyatt and Tillman will have great pro careers.

The Orange in my blood tells me that Hooker should be the first QB taken. The head on my shoulders tells me that Levis will go ahead of him. Hooker had great numbers but some GMs are also going to look at his time at VT. Also, Levis is bigger and stronger, which GMs like. I believe both Hooker and Levis will be better pro QBs than Bryce Young.
Those are just my opinions. What the %^&* do I know? If I had all the answers, I would be a GM, making a gazillion bucks, instead of whacking at the keyboard, for free.

SEC coaches voted him first team All-SEC - guess they were too busy watching live action and game film to realize he actually stunk

We are not sniffing three first-rounders. Hyatt will go in the first round; Wright might, but doubtful. Nobody else has a shot at that round despite what Kiper says.

I said he stunk didn’t I? Stop with the BS. I never said he stunk. I said he never lived up to his potential here and he didn’t imo.

I think people are confused about the “potential” you’re talking about, and how he didn’t live up to it. He was working at dollar general and enrolled at Georgia Military College, after seeing a flyer for tryouts. Ends up being a 3 star recruit after his time there. Came here, worked, and ended up being voted all-sec. What part of that, was not living up to his potential, in your opinion?

 

[aaronvol]

BY is Barnett without the bend. Great motor, strong, quick, but Barnett could get so low and was so limber it looked like his shoulder would be 6 inches off the ground.

 

[NEO]

Hooker is either going to be an all star QB or a perennial backup and I honestly can’t guess which. I don’t see a middle ground with him.

I would be very surprised if BY was taken in the 1st, but not nearly as surprised about Wright. In fact I think BY is a 3-4th rounder because of his production. He has the measurables but not the consistency. Jmo

I think BY had a lot of pressures that could have been sacks were it not for our soft coverage that concedes quick throws.

Probably so, but he also had some pretty quiet games, showing some of that inconsistency.

When he was good, he was really good though, which is why I don't see him going in the first 2 rounds.
