2020 NFL Draft

[CU06]

This thread has probably been done before in years past but I thought it would be good discussion while the NFL Draft is going on.

Who is the highest draft pick from your school?

What HS program lays claim to the highest draft choice from Tennessee?

I know Patrick Willis was drafted 11th overall in 07. He's from little ole Bruceton HS (1A) 

Al Wilson was at the end of the 1st round in 99 I think 31 or 32 from JCM

Reggie White #4 from Chattanooga Howard is probably the highest ever if I was guessing. Tee Higgins from Oak Ridge was just taken with the 32nd pic (I think) earlier today. Congratulations to Tee.

Jalen Ramsey from Brentwood Aca was a #5 pick by Jacksonville.

John Henderson from Pearl Cohn was #9 pick for Jacksonville.

Dewayne Robertson went #4 to the New York Jets. He's a product of Melrose.

Then Brentwood Academy had Derek Barnett go #14 the next year. So impressive

Gene Hickerson was a 7th rounder back in the 57. Now an NFL Hall of Famer from Trezevant HS which later consolidated with Atwood HS and a few others to make West Carroll HS, My alma mater.

I was about to say him

Dontari Poe was a top 15 pick. He's currently with the Cowboys. Poe should have came from Whitehaven, I went to school with his older brother or cousin. However Poe graduated from Wooddale I believe. 

Tony Pollard was a 3rd or 4th round pick. He's currently with the Cowboys. He came out of Melrose.

Both of these guys went to Memphis

I believe Cletidus Hunt was the highest draft pick out of Whitehaven in recent years. He was drafted in the 3rd round by the Packers in '99
