Hyatt drafted in 1st or 2nd round?

[vol94]

First off, I hope everyone is safe as we are having some crazy weather.

Hyatt was the topic of conversation on 104.5 the Zone as Chad Withrow discussed part of a recent conversation with Hyatt during Super bowl week.

Hyatt said he would’ve returned to TN had he thought he would go in the second round. Those around him, including his agent, are very confident Hyatt goes in the first round.

He balled out last yr, so here’s hoping he has a great showing in the “40” @ the combine as GMs and coaches expect a strong performance.

Hopefully he will be drafted in the latter part of the first round instead of the second. He was fun to watch and his play vs Bama was the best individual performance I’ve ever seen.

As much as I would like to have seen him in Orange this fall, he made the right decision, except he should have gone bowling with us.

First rounder.

 

[YankeeVol]

I think he'll land somewhere in the 25-32 range.

 

[cwbytruckers]

depends on the needs of teams ahead of whomever drafts him.

 

[vol94]

I haven’t made time to lookup the difference of pay b/t a first and second rounder, but I assume it’s substantial. Most teams late in the first round will need a WR or select the “best talent” on the board.

 

[Dudleys87]

Sure fire R1.

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

45th overall to the Packers.

 

[superdave1984]

Depends on how well he runs. Sub 4.4 gets him in round 1.
4.3 ish gets him in the top half probably. I have been high on the dude from TCU, but he lets too many passes hit his body so he might drop down. Speed gets you paid well in the NFL

 

[Jax_Vol]

45th overall to the Packers.

Lol...not if Aaron Rodgers is still there. They never ever ever draft a received for poor ole Daniel.

But, I do think somewhere around 40-50ish is about right.

His lack of size is the only concern for NFL.

First rounder.

Exactly. What else could he have done next season? Hyatt had a great year.

I agree. The point is he loved playing @ TN and would’ve returned for his senior had he thought he would be a 2nd rd pick. Hyatt admitted he loves UT and would’ve come back to shatter records.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Doesn’t really matter.. prob better for him to be a 2nd anyways instead of a late 1st.. get paid sooner no 5th year option

 

[VolFanNC09]

Him, Wright, Young, Hooker and Tillman all have first two round potential. Would like to see them all get drafted in the first two rounds

 

[stolitonic]

Most of the mock drafts I have seen have him going to the Chargers in the first.

I believe they were the first team "out" of the playoffs so that's probably somewhere in the 20th range.

Probably not a horrible place for him to go. They have a decent QB.

On the other hand the owner is a joke now that I think about it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If he gets on the 4.3 range he will go in the first

 

[bigl3327]

If he runs sub 4.3 his stock skyrockets. It will likely make him a top 16 pick.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

We could see three 1st rounders this yr (unlikely) with up to 5 players drafted top 100. 6-8 legitimate NFL prospects this class. Crazy to think we could've had Key Lawrence, Henry T, Wanya Morris, & Eric Gray in the class as well. Vols gonna represent well in the draft.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Hyatt & Young are 1st rd locks IMO

 

[FBtime]

Hyatt & Young and Darnell Wright are 1st rd locks IMO

Why not all three? Hell, make it four. Hooker is very high on a lot of draft boards. Seeing him answer questions, you can see why.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Exactly. What else could he have done next season? Hyatt had a great year.

That kind of season from a non-draft eligible player is the next step.

 

[VOLtaism]

I'm no expert on the NFL but he lacks the physical strength to be a 1st round pick. He certainly has speed and quickness but the NFL needs physicality. My 1st round choice would be someone who can start in the season opener. He will get a nice contract in any case for sure.

I'll allow it
