    What MSU player goes first in the draft? How many get drafted?

    So what player gets drafted first?

    I figure Kylin goes in the 3rd-4th.

    I think Kylin, Spencer, Thompson, Kobe Jones, and D Parker get drafted. I could see only Kylin, Spencer, and Thompson getting drafted though and Kobe and Parker going Free Agent.

    Kylin Hill is the only player that is on most if not all draft boards but he is not rated in the Top 100 in any of them that I saw. He could possibly could fall down to the 5th or even 6th round. I do think he is a top ten RB coming out this year so there could be a run of RB's and he could go in the 3rd or 4th like T-bone said. Lots of experts that do this for a living and get it wrong every year.

    There are a number of players after him that have a chance to get drafted and will at least end up in a camp as a free agent. Free Agent contracts aren't that bad, you get you chance on a team of your choosing. You can look at depth charts and make an informed decision on where is your best shot to stick with a team.

    I couldn't even get an proper evaluation of Thompson on a couple websites and I thought that dude would be a lock to get drafted. We all will be shocked if KJ Costello gets drafted before him but it could happen, all it takes is one team to like you. Mostly, I will be an interested bystander and hope our guys do well. I may not watch much coverage but I will be looking at the results and evaluations afterward.

    Kylin will probably go in the 6-7th round range. He might slide into the 5th. After that, you might see Errol and maybe one other get drafted. The rest will get UDFA camp invites. I think you'll see most of ours actually be able to hang on through rookie camp and make it to training camps. I think 2-3 out of this senior class will be on an opening day roster with another 1 to 2 on practice squads.

    Kylin and Thompson both late round picks.

    I'm not saying you're wrong- bad draft for us. I just think a team will take a flier on Errol because he will play ST's and is a toughass dude. 1st 4 rounds will get no love for State guys- so we dont even need to watch until round 5 maybe even the 6th.

    He did come have good pro day as far as shape. And won't argue w what you said. At all. Hell he might be the only one drafted. Kylin isn't some high ceiling guy.
