Round 2 • Pick 14
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
After a relatively dormant first couple of seasons, Speaks turned his flashes into production while operating from a variety of positions along the Ole Miss front. He can be chippy and emotional on the field and needs to mature, but he has the talent and ability to continue getting better. He's inconsistent at the point of attack along the interior and his best fit could be at an end spot in a 3-4. He has the upside to become an eventual starter, but his floor must be taken into account.

Round 4 • Pick 36
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Slender, productive pass rush specialist who features an outstanding upfield burst, but an alarming lack of anchor. While Haynes could get a trial as an early down 3-4 rush linebacker due to his pass rush potential, he isn't built to handle the physical nature of NFL run games. Haynes is a likely fit for teams looking for a designated pass rusher for sub-packages, but he'll need to become more toolsy and unpredictable as an NFL rusher if he wants to duplicate the success he had in college.

Round 5 • Pick 32
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Finesse runner with good size and great agility with the lateral agility to elude tacklers in the open field and the speed to make them feel it. Wilkins lacks the aggressive running demeanor to take it to tacklers, but he does have moments of effectiveness along the interior thanks to his footwork and vision. Wilkins 12 carries against Alabama could be hard for teams to ignore as they look to project his NFL potential. He should find work as a solid backup with a shot at finding starterÂ’s carries at some point.

Round 7 • Pick 34
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Despite playing the last two seasons at tackle, Taylor lacks the size and length to continue on the outside. He has experience at guard which helps, but he'll need to play with quicker, more efficient hands as well as better leverage at the point of attack to play to an NFL level. If teams view Taylor as an emergency option at tackle, it should improve his chances of making a roster or a practice squad.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Golson is one of the coaches' favorites in Auburn thanks to his intelligence, leadership and versatility. He could be graded as either a guard or center and his position flexibility gives him a shot to find a practice squad his rookie season. He lacks athletic ability and power so it is hard to envision him becoming anything more than a back-end of the roster type at best.
