Fletcher Cox
Nick Perry
Coby Fleener

Dont’a Hightower
Courtney Upshaw
Stephen Hill
Kendall Wright

Wow, that's a lot of guys. I'm a little surprised by McLellin, Randle and Hill. Rest of the guys seem like first rounders to me.

Who's going to be crying in the corner as they are the last one drafted?

Randle?

Very unlikely, but it would be fun if one of them fell to day 3 of the draft.

This is a record right? (Amount of draftees coming to NY)

McClellin could easily end up being a late first round pick.

Hill, Upshaw or Randle will be the last one (Prediction)

Uhh, why were all of them invited? I think only top 10-15 picks should go.

Tannehill is the one I see getting awkward to watch. I don't think he'll be the last one out of the green room but is going to fall a lot further than expected and it's going to be the most visible as teams who need QBs pass on him.
