Auburn Football NFL Draft Projections: Where Tigers Could Land

The upcoming NFL Draft is shaping up to be an intriguing one for Auburn football, with several former Tigers projected to hear their names called over the weekend. While it may not be as fruitful as last year’s draft, where five Auburn players were selected, there is still plenty of excitement surrounding this year’s prospects.

DJ James, a standout cornerback, is projected to be a third-round pick by CBS, while The Athletic has him going in the third round as well. Sporting News and ESPN have him going in the fourth round, while the NFL has him slated for the sixth round. Jaylin Simpson, another talented cornerback, is also expected to be drafted, with projections ranging from the fourth to sixth round.

Defensive lineman Justin Rogers is projected to be a sixth-round pick by ESPN, while wide receiver Marcus Harris is expected to go in the fourth to sixth round range. Nehemiah Pritchett, a cornerback, is projected to be a third to fifth-round pick by various outlets.

In addition to these prospects, Auburn boasts several other NFL hopefuls who may not hear their names called but are sure to get a shot at a team’s rookie minicamp. With a strong showing at Auburn’s Pro Day last month, these players have put themselves in a good position to catch the eye of NFL scouts.

Overall, the future looks bright for Auburn football in the NFL Draft, with a mix of established talent and promising newcomers set to make their mark in the league. Fans will be eagerly watching to see where their favorite Tigers end up on draft day.
