Jack Driscoll improved his draft stock mightily at the 2020 draft combine. That paid off as he was taken in the fourth round of the draft by the Phillidelphia Eagles. This is big news for Driscoll. Congrats Jack and War Eagle!
Three solid Auburn defenders are off the board. Derrick Brown, Noah Igbinoghene, and Marlon Davidson. Who will be the next Tiger off the board? It should be either Prince Tega Wanogho, Javaris Davis, Nick Coe, or Jack Driscoll. We’ll post watching live the next Tiger who goes. War Eagle!
Finnally, the Atlanta Falcons have some Auburn stardom on their team. Marlon Davidson was taken 48th overall by the local Falcons in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday night. Congrats Marlon and War Eagle!
The Detroit Lions franchise running back is Kerryon Johnson. Or so we thought. The Lions took a running back in the second round Friday evening two years after they took Kerryon in the second round. It’s a name that Auburn fans are far too fimiliar of. He’s from a rival school. It’s De’Andre Swift. Swift, a nimble rusher from Georgia, will join Johnson in the backfield in 2020. Now, the Lions wouldn’t have made this pick if it weren’t for Johnson’s injury history. But the two will share playing time. At least they’ll possibly emerge as the best running back duo in the NFL. War Eagle.
Auburn cashed in on another NFL draft pick when the Miami Dolphins took Noah Igbinoghene at pick #30 of the NFL Draft on Thursday. He joins Derrick Brown as Tigers in the first round. Congrats Noah and War Eagle!
It’s been a while Auburn fans. But for the first time since 2014, Auburn has produced a first round pick. And that is Derrick Brown. Brown was taken #7 overall by the Carolina Panthers. Brown deserves this pick. He is the most dominant defensive tackle in the draft. This is huge. I guess you could say Carolina replaced a former Tiger with another. War Eagle and congrats Derrick!
In this episode, I’ve invited my friend Marcel to take a look at the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft which premires tommorow. We’ve completed the first round featuring in depth analysis for each pick. The link is below. Enjoy!
Isaac Okoro is set to be the second strait Auburn player to be drafted in the first round of the NBA Draft. It was Chuma Okeke last year. Okoro is a projected top 10 pick. And before his injury, he was projected top 5. There’s one team that is in the perfect spot to land Okoro. And that’s the Chicago Bulls at pick #7. So why is Okoro the Bulls’ next superstar?
He is explosive
Isaac Okoro was one of the most electric players in Auburn history. His crazy contact finishes and incredible dunks will give the fan base in Chicago an instant boost.
He’s a leader
Why does Bruce Pearl call Isaac Okoro a senior all the time. He’s a freshman. It’s because he’s so mature and he’s a leader. He’ll be an instant impact to the Bulls locker room.
He is similar to former Bulls’ stars
Isaac Okoro usually draws comparisons to former Bulls star Jimmy Butler. Butler has a largely similar skill set to Okoro and maybe Okoro has more potential.
He’s a long term player
Okoro may be the best franchise builder player in the draft. He’ll instantly be the long term answer Bulls fans have been longing for, for years.
He does it all
Isaac Okoro does it all. He is a pretty good three point shooter and obviously is great at driving in and scoring easy buckets. He’s a great finisher too.
I think Isaac Okoro will bring the Bulls everything they want. Size, strength, shooting. Everything. He’s just such a good athlete. War Eagle!
It’s only a week until the NFL Draft. See where I think the Tigers will land in my three round NFL Mock Draft. Enjoy.

Leonard Fournette, a former LSU running back, wants his team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, to sign Cam Newton. Personally, I don’t like the Jags. But it’s whatever. Here’s what Fournette said on ESPN.
“Cam went to the Super Bowl,” Fournette said, via ESPN.com. “He’s a great guy. I’ve been knowing Cam for a minute now. And like I told some people that talked to me, it’s no disrespect to [Gardner Minshew]. I’m just trying to get in the best position as a team as we can [to] win. That’s all that was about. Just friendly competition ’cause that brings out the best in people.”
We’ll see where Cam lands after the draft. War Eagle.
