With the 2020 NFL Draft here, numerous mock drafts have multiple Tennessee football players being taken. Here are the Volunteers’ projected landing spots.

Well, it looks like Tennessee football will have at least one player taken in the NFL Draft. Hey, that’s a major improvement over where they were last year, and there’s a chance that this is their best class since 2017.

Based on a variety of projections, the Vols could have as many as three players taken with a first, a third and a sixth rounder. That is if we took the best-case scenario in every situation. If we took the worst-case scenario, UT would only have one player taken, in the fourth round.

The idea that Tennessee football could come close to having a first-rounder was beyond foreign just a few weeks ago. However, the rising of one player’s NFL Draft stock over the past two weeks has changed everything.

So with the event here and set to take place in a virtual setting due to coronavirus quarantining over the next three days, how will the Vols fare? It’s time for us to break that down. In this post, we’re going to look at all the mock draft projections for each player. They will be ranked based on who has the higher projections.

Now, these are not our projections for each player’s pro potential. Here, we’re looking at other’s people projections, which is a better basis for where they are likely to go and in what order, as opposed to our projections for and analysis of each player’s pro potential, which is a better basis for where they should go and what order they should go in.

We’ll start by naming all the players who aren’t projected by any major outlet to land anywhere and give short synopsis on each of them. Then we’ll move onto the players who do have projections, and we’ll detail each projection and how that would fit them. So let’s get started. These our Tennessee football’s 2020 mock NFL Draft projections.
