The stars of Kentucky's win at Neyland Stadium are near the top of almost every NFL analysts' draft board. Some believe Kentucky's dynamic defensive duo will make it into the first round, but not everyone.
In the latest three-round NFL mock draft compiled by
Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports, Jamin Davis and Kelvin Joseph are each second round draft picks. In this projection the Las Vegas Raiders select the linebacker from Ludowici at No. 48 overall, followed by the former UK cornerback at No. 53 overall to the Tennessee Titans.
As soon as the season concluded, these projections would have been welcomed. Now they aren't even the most optimistic. Nevertheless, by the time draft prep concludes, the middle of the second round does feel about right for at least one of the two.
Joseph and Davis will get a chance to work out for NFL teams in Lexington at UK Pro Day on March 31. Those drills and meetings will play a significant role in where they are selected when the NFL Draft begins April 29.
