NASHVILLE - The NFL released the names of the 17 draft prospects who will be in attendance for the first round of the draft, which will take place in Kansas City, beginning on April 27.

Those attending include all four quarterbacks projected to be taken in round one, Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis. 

Top running back Bijan Robinson, top receiver Jaxon Smith Njigba, fellow wideouts Jordan Addison and Zay Flowers, and offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr. round out the nine offensive players attending.  

Defensive players attending include the projected top edge rusher, Will Anderson, with fellow edge rushers Keion White and Tyree Wilson joining him. Jalen Carter is the lone defensive tackle heading to Kansas City, while cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez, Joey Porter Jr., Devon Witherspoon, and safety Brian Branch round out the defensive side. 

Alabama and Ohio State lead all schools, with three players each attending, with no other school having more than one attending.   

While there are no guarantees, the Tennessee Titans could well have their first-round selection in attendance when they make their opening-round pick, scheduled for No.11. However, there has been much speculation that they could be entertaining a move up to No.3 to secure one of the four quarterbacks in this class. 

Regardless of a move up, or should they remain in place, the likelihood of their pick being in the audience is strong.
