In the NFL's draft? Doesn't matter what year they are in now, who will be the highest drafted when they enter the NFL draft?

Impossible to tell. But best money should be on Mingo, Mett or Freak.

Freak.

big Sam and mingo are also likely.

I don't see our RBs getting enough individual carries or ourcpassing game propping up our WRs.

Simon or Freak.

Landry with 2 more seasons under his belt could be scary too.

Mingo. The only other possibility is if Mett explodes and becomes the hot qb prospect

Teams draft that high for

1) QB

2) Pass rushers

Mingo will be 3-5 pick

Eric Reid could go fairly high. Mel Kiper has Mingo as number THREE on his big board...that's high.

Some people predict mingo to be number 3. If he happens to get selected that high then I don't see anyone being drafted higher. Mett could have a great year but lsu runs too much for him to be a 1st or 2nd pick.

I would put Jalen Mills as a possibility. Starting as a true freshman, and having 3 years to develop in the sec. I know he is unproven, and starting because of losing TM7, but just thinking future possibilities. The way the NFL is so relient on the passing game cornerbacks are getting drafted high because of teams trying to stop the pass. I know Mingo is the obvious choice, but just throwing this out there for discussion sake.

I don't see that happening if he goes this year.. Barkley will be drafted higher barring a broken femur or something equally catastrophic

Maybe next year though...

La'el Collins is off to a great start, but he would have to move out to tackle to be a high 1st.

It depends on if Sam starts focusing more on making the QB's (see stars) than his pre-snap routine/salute to the stars. What's that about?

This. Next best choice would be Montgomery, depending on what team has the pick. Mingo will be an OLB in the NFL.

That's not a factor. NFL teams draft on measurables, not stats. He's 6'4" with a strong arm, he could go early.

I dont think Mett would be the 1st QB taken in 2013 or 2014, but Qb has the best chance of going #1. Its going to be hard for Barkley to not go #1 this year. If Bray or Logan Thomas stays, they could also shoot for #1 in 2014.
Barring an injury, I think Mingo can go as high as 2 this year. Definitely top 5. Scouts love his speed.
Freak would have a chance to go high, but its too early to tell if he would be a high first rounder.
Faulk will probably go high, but I dont see him being a top 5 player. May be one of the first OL taken though.
So I guess Ill go with Mingo at #2 or #3 in 2013.

I'll go out on a limb and say Rivers then Hill. But we have a lot of first rounders and 2nd round sleepers on this team.

I see the Freak over-hype continues. I love the guy, but he may not even be the second best DT on his own team.

The correct answer is Mingo.
