2. Travis Etienne

While Lawrence will be the first Tiger to go and it won’t be close, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when Travis Etienne is the second Tiger to come off the board.

Etienne could go as high as the middle of the first-round, but he won’t go much lower than the mid-portion of the second-round.

He is considered one of the top three running backs in this draft- along with Javonte Williams (UNC) and Najee Harris (Alabama)- and many have him as the top player at the position.

The only question is if he’ll go in the first-round or if he’ll have to wait until Day 2 to hear his name called.

NFL franchises are leery about taking a running back in the first- for good reason- and that may lead to Etienne dropping, but he will still be the second Tiger taken off the board.
