As many as six former Tennessee Vols will be drafted when the 2017 NFL Draft gets underway next week.

The Tennessee Vols’ level of talent has drastically improved since the arrival of Butch Jones.

Tennessee will have as many as six players drafted in the 2017 NFL Draft next week. That’s a big improvement over the last several years when just a player here and there was being drafted out of UT.

Of those six players, as many as four could be drafted in the top two rounds.

Defensive end Derek Barnett will almost certainly be a first round draft pick.

Running back Alvin Kamara could sneak into the first round as well, but he’s likely an early to mid second round pick.

Quarterback Josh Dobbs and cornerback Cam Sutton are both players that could end up going in the second or third round.

The other players likely to be drafted this year are wide receiver Josh Malone and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin.

Here’s where we predict each former Vol will be drafted in 2017.
