The NFL Draft is right around the corner, which will be held April 23-25 in Pittsburgh — and we can expect some former Mizzou Football players to hear their name called. The only question is where.

Per multiple mock drafts Zion Young is the likely candidate to be the first Missouri player selected — and the expectation for Young is a late first-round or early second-round selection.

In our latest SBN Reacts survey, we asked when will the first Mizzou football player be selected — and the majority voted for a late first round pick.

If this comes to fruition, Mizzou will have three first-round draft picks in three straight years for the first time since 2009-2011. That can always be a nice recruiting pitch for Eli Drinkwitz and the staff.
