An Ole Miss tight end will be drafted for the first time in 20 years, and that tight end could give the Rebels four first-round picks in a two-year stretch.
Tight end Evan Engram is going to get picked in the first two rounds; that’s a given. The question is whether he goes in the first round. Ole Miss had three first-round picks last year. The last time the school had first-rounders in consecutive drafts was 2004 and ’05, with Eli Manning and Chris Spencer.
The last time an Ole Miss tight end was drafted at all was 1997, when Kris Mangum was a seventh-rounder.
