Where Auburn players were drafted in Pro Football Network’s NFL draft simulator
The NFL draft is just under a week away from commencing, and several Auburn Tigers will finally learn their next destination in their football journey.
Over the last several months, there have been countless mock drafts that have tied several Auburn players to NFL franchises, with the biggest names being Derick Hall and Tank Bigsby.
Ahead of next week’s NFL draft, we decided to let the Pro Football Network’s draft simulator sort out which Auburn players would be drafted, and where they would go.
As expected, there were four players that made the simulation. If you are an Auburn fan that resides on the west coast, you will enjoy the results of this simulation.
Here’s a projection of which teams will take former Auburn players according to Pro Football Network.

The first (and only) offensive player from Auburn is next up in round three. Bigsby is projected to be taken 93rd overall by a franchise that is no stranger to drafting Auburn players, the Carolina Panthers.
Several former Tigers to spend time in Charlotte include Kevin Greene, Cam Newton, and Derrick Brown.

Auburn will have two third-round picks according to this simulation, with Owen Pappoe’s name being called just six slots later. The San Francisco 49ers are projected to draft Pappoe with the 99th overall selection.

The final Tiger to be taken in the 2023 draft according to Pro Football Network is Colby Wooden. This selection is interesting, as the Los Angeles Chargers are prohected to take him with the No. 156 overall pick in round five, which would re-unite him with Auburn teammate Derick Hall.
