Mock drafts aren't so much an exact science as a game of educated guessing. That becomes even more the case when they're stretched out past the first round, but the mocks can give a sense of how Ole Miss' potential draft picks are viewed. A total of seven Rebels are mentioned in various mock drafts across the internet to be selected this weekend during the NFL Draft.. To no one's surprise, the group is headlined by Evan Engram. He's currently a fringe first round pick because teams are very intrigued by his athleticism and ball skills.Â
