The Room Where It Happens

22 hopeful prospects are set to be in Philadelphia for the 2017 NFL Draft. None of them are the still-expected #1 pick. Despite reports of indecision and in-fighting among the Cleveland Browns decision-makers, Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is still expected to be the first pick in the draft. He isn't among the 22 that will be attending the draft. The following will be in the room where it happens.

Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama
Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado
Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
Garrett Boles, T, Utah
Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC
Kevin King, CB, Washington
DeShon Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State
Takkarist McKinley, DE, UCLA
Ryan Ramczyk, T, Wisconsin
Haason Reddick, LB, Temple
Cam Robinson, T, Alabama
John Ross, WR, Washington
Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford
Mitchell Tubrisky, QB, North Carolina
DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU

As was done last year, the NFL has invited the player's college coaches to wait with them in the green room. It's a crowded room. Here are the coaches that will be attending the NFL Draft.

Larry Fedora, North Carolina
P.J. Fleck, Minnesota
Butch Jones, Tennessee
Brian Kelly, Notre Dame
Urban Meyer, Ohio State
Jim Mora, UCLA
Ed Orgeron, LSU
Chris Peterson, Washington
Matt Ruhle, Baylor
Nick Saban, Alabama
David Shaw, Stanford
Dabo Swinney, Clemson
Kyle Whittingham, Utah

It appears that Chidobe Awuzie, Adoree' Jackson, Malik McDowell, and Ryan Ramczyk won't have their coaches with them in Philadelphia.

Best of luck to the NFL hopefuls in Philadelphia and elsewhere on their big day.
