I think Holden is the only one that goes undrafted but that's not a given if he tests well for his size. A team might view him like Juwaan Johnson as a shifty TE/big WR.

I would add Muhammad. He's a really good college player but I think it's going to take a little bit of luck (right opportunity/right time) to make and stick with an NFL team.

My early take is

Josh Conerly, Derick Harmon and Jordan Burch are all late 1st to mid/late 2nd rounders in that order.

Jordan James and Tez Johnson probably aren't Top 50 draftees but fall in that 50-100 range with Jordan more in the 3rd round range.

Terrance Ferguson and Dillon Gabriel seem like earliest would be end of 3rd round but each could last to the 5th or 6th. (Miami, SF and Denver seem like the best fits for Dillon)

Jamaree Caldwell is probably an early day 3 (4th round) guy but there are a lot of different DTs for teams to choose.

Bassa is getting drafted but it's probably going to be on Day 3 as a ST/depth coverage LB early on in his career same as Muhammad who teams will view as a solid but unspectacular option.

Ajani is a mystery to me until I see some of his combine numbers as far as where he could go. He's probably in a similar range as Ferguson and Gabriel though where it will come down to particular teams who view him as a fit for their systems more than just a raw talent.

My hot take is that Gabriel goes in the second round to a team who really needs a QB and is willing to take a chance on his diminutive stature. Bo Nix's immediate success may end up helping Dillon be more sought after.

Okay, I was off by a round, but man, it feels like the Browns had Dillon pegged from the beginning and just waited to take him because they could. It really does look like he is going to get a shot to be the starter there just like Bo did. Good for him.
