After Tennessee's Pro Day on Thursday afternoon, there is not much left to do in preparation for the upcoming NFL Draft. With the draft less than a month away, Thursday was essentially the final audition for NFL teams and scouts to see what the Vols league hopefuls can do on a football field.

With guys like Jalin Hyatt, Darnell Wright, Byron Young, and others awaiting their draft fate, different media outlets are saying different things about where these guys are set to get picked. We look at where a few different outlets have some Vols mocked.

Darnell Wright, OT

  • Bleacher Report: Round 1, Pick 24; Jacksonville Jaguars
  • CBS Sports: Round 1, Pick 24; Jacksonville Jaguars
  • NFL.com: Round 1, Pick 28; Cincinnati Bengals
  • ESPN: Round 1, Pick 14; New England Patriots
  • The Athletic: Round 1, Pick 28; Cincinnati Bengals

Hendon Hooker, QB

  • CBS Sports: Round 2, Pick 50; Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • NFL.com: Round 2, Pick 36; Las Vegas Raiders
  • ESPN: Round 1, Pick 5; Seattle Seahawks
  • The Athletic: Round 1, Pick 23; Minnesota Vikings

Jalin Hyatt, WR:

  • CBS Sports: Round 3, Pick 87; Minnesota Vikings
  • NFL.com: Round 1, Pick 22: Kansas City Chiefs
  • ESPN: Round 1, Pick 25: New York Giants

Byron Young, EDGE

  • CBS Sports: Round 3, Pick 93; Carolina Panthers
  • NFL.com: Round 3, Pick 73; Houston Texans

The Vols seem poised to have four guys in the first 2 or 3 rounds of the upcoming Draft. For Hyatt, Wright, Hooker, and Young, it is about to be payday, but more importantly, the start of the next chapter. These four guys, as well as everyone from Tennessee involved in this draft process, proudly represent the Vols and are great ambassadors for Tennessee.
