National Football League draft history: 10 years of Wisconsin's draft picks

Some good ones, as illustrated by the players from Alabama high schools and colleges who didn't let being drafted late prevent them from having productive pro careers. CBS Sports' latest mock draft offers an even more unfathomable scenario where the Titans don't take an edge rusher in any of the first three rounds. Jenkins was the last wideout picked, and Mikel Leshoure was the last running back (2011).

To aid in the scenario generating and to keep it as honest of a process as I possible (no cherry picking picks!) I use the Fanspeak mock draft simulator set to one of the recent draft boards that have been submitted to the site.

This year? The Vols will be lucky if they have a player taken before the third day of the draft. IL had no players taken in 2014 and 2015.

Will Prince William be named King this week?
Harry said his bride-to-be will be by his side in the new post, as he paid tribute to the Queen's service to the "family of nations".

Among the four receivers drafted in the first round in 2016 (Corey Coleman, Will Fuller, Josh Doctson and Laquon Treadwell), only Fuller has come close to living up to expectations. LB Jack Cichy should be a fifth- or sixth-rounder.

That leaves Los Angeles in a bit of a predicament because there isn't an immediate need at any of the spots on the offensive line, but finding heirs for Andrew Whitworth and John Sullivan - as well as future replacements for Jamon Brown, Rodger Saffold and Rob Havenstein - is likely on the to-do list this offseason. The last QB picked? That pick is the second-to-last in the fourth round.

The Vols don't have the headliners at this year's draft like they did last year. However, Marshawn Lynch may be in his last National Football League season in 2018, while Jalen Richard fumbled the ball nine times and DeAndre Washington finished with a yard per carry average south of 3.0 last season, making it evident that the team will need to invest into the position sooner rather than later.
