The NFL Draft begins tonight with coverage all weekend long on ESPN, ABC, and the NFL Network. It’ll be a fun weekend for Mizzou fans to keep an eye on, as there will be some Mizzou players expected to be selected in this year’s draft. None are bigger than linebacker Nick Bolton, who will surely be the first Tiger to hear his name called — probably early in the second round, or perhaps an outside shot of becoming Missouri’s first 1st round NFL Draft pick since Charles Harris in 2017.
This is an appropriate time to look at some final mock drafts to get a sense of where Mizzou players stand:
Here’s Sam Monson on Bolton:
“The Eagles had one of the worst linebacker situations in football in 2019, so Bolton would be a huge addition to the defense. Bolton doesn’t have the absurd workout numbers of some of the other players at his position, but his athleticism is more than good enough and he demonstrates exceptional instincts and a nose for the football. Bolton was able to track down and tackle players like Kadarius Toney in the open field, and that’s good enough endorsement of his tools.”
And in more Mizzou-NFL news, Drew Lock is going to have quarterback competition in Denver, as the Broncos have acquired Teddy Bridgewater.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, but Lock’s days in Denver could very well be numbered, according to this Tweet from Dave Matter.
Broncos GM George Paton on trade for Bridgewater: "We like Drew Lock ... We have a quarterback here and we have a nice quarterback room."

As @markkiszla wrote recently, the Broncos like Lock, don't necessarily love him. pic.twitter.com/yWGfPmznwU
And the 2021 SEC Media Days schedule was announced on Wednesday afternoon, according to the conference. Mizzou and Eli Drinkwitz will make their appearance on Thursday, July 22nd in Hoover, Alabama, the final day of the event, to go along with Sam Pittman of Arkansas and Bryan Harsin of Auburn. Times will be announced at a later date, but this will be Drinkwitz’s first official SEC Media Days after last year was canceled due to COVID.

Now that I've got all G5 rosters updated, we've got new teams at No. 1-2. 12 of the top 13 are G5 teams; that'll change a smidge once I've updated P5 rosters, but this is going to be a fascinating year. pic.twitter.com/SSRVMnX1Jf

- Have to believe Drinkwitz and Mizzou reaches out here, and they may even have a good shot at landing him.
Have learned that Ohio State wide receiver Jameson Williams has entered the transfer portal.
A former top recruit from Missouri who had nine catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns last season.
