For 31 players (Miami was stripped of its Day 1 pick), Thursday night will be the realization of a lifelong dream.

Many mock drafts have Jordan Addison projected as one of those players, but he highlights a class of a possible seven USC players who have a chance of getting drafted this weekend. 

While Addison could be a top-20 pick, the other soon-to-be former Trojans will likely have to wait to hear their names called when the draft continues with the second and third rounds Friday night or concludes with rounds 4-7 Saturday afternoon.
