The legendary Tennessee trio. Cordarrelle Patterson, Justin Hunter, and Da'Rick Rogers. 

Definitely a draft "thing" I haven't thought about for awhile. 

The QB for that trio, Tyler Bray, was being mocked a lot in the first round after how his college career started.

Man, the talent we've wasted at UT due to god awful coaching.

Who was the coach then? Dooley?

Yeah. Nearly the entire starting offense of 2012 got at least a shot in the NFL and he managed to go 5-7(well, 4-7. Jim Chaney was interim for the final game after Dooley was fired and won it) with it. Sal Sunseri's defense that season...

We scored at least 30 points in 9 games that season, and went 5-4 in them...

Just disgusting.

Then Butch Jones comes along to waste a backfield of Josh Dobbs, Alvin Kamara and Jalen Hurd.

I hate everything about being a Vol fan at this point.

LB Brandon Siler out of Florida in the mid 2000s

I think from round 2 on I kept rejoicing every time he was still on the board and thought for sure we would pick him

Edit: just realized he was drafted in the 7th round - but I'm still counting it

Was gonna say Siler. He was the guy I first thought of. He was supposed to be the freaking man that year.

La’El Collins was another huge story. He was a 1st round lock and slid to undrafted due to a questionable murder investigation that he had nothing to do with, ultimately.

Colt Lyerla was an Oregon stud destined for greatness. Turns out he was a complete lunatic off the field. Was routinely mocked as a 1st rounder until the stories of his insanity got out.

Idk if this counts because I was the only person I saw doing this, but I had a hard 1st round grade on Essang Bassey. He’s the only guy since I started doing this in 2004 that I was insanely high on to go undrafted.

Rodrique Wright from Texas. I thought he was gonna be a monster and was shocked when he fell. Especially because there was nothing stating why. Later revealed he tore his rotator cuff.

Edit: good old google update: he was drafted by Miami in the 7th
