AUBURN — The 2024 NFL Draft is scheduled to begin April 25, and Auburn football will surely be represented. Just how represented remains to be seen.

The Tigers have more than a dozen former players who are eligible to get drafted this cycle, but not every one of them will see their names flash across their respective television screens. Some will sign undrafted free agent contracts with NFL teams, while others may try and make other professional leagues.

Here's a breakdown of where the latest mock drafts have a handful of former players getting picked:

CB Nehemiah Pritchett

A three-year starter who played all five of his collegiate seasons at Auburn, cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett went the highest of any player in the mock drafts evaluated by the Montgomery Advertiser. Pritchett finished his Tigers career with 115 tackles, 29 pass deflections and three interceptions.

CB DJ James

Another cornerback who spent five years in college, DJ James finished the 2023 campaign with a coverage grade of 88.9 from Pro Football Focus. That mark ranked No. 1 at Auburn last season, No. 7 in the SEC and No. 34 nationally.

• Chad Reuter of NFL.com: Fifth round to the Atlanta Falcons (No. 143 overall)

S Jaylin Simpson

There may not have been a more impactful defensive player on Auburn's roster last season than safety Jaylin Simpson, especially through the first half of the schedule. Simpson tallied five interceptions and recovered a fumble through the first five weeks of the season.

• Chad Reuter of NFL.com: Fifth round to the Carolina Panthers (No. 148 overall)

• DraftTek staff: Fifth round to the Washington Commanders (No. 152 overall)

DL Marcus Harris

Perhaps one of the more underrated players on Auburn's team from a season ago, Marcus Harris notched career-high numbers across the board in tackles (40), tackles for loss (11) and sacks (seven). His overall defensive grade from PFF of 82.4 was No. 1 in the conference and No. 19 in the country.

• Walter Cherepinsky of WalterFootball: Fifth round to the New Orleans Saints (No. 170 overall)

• Matt Miller of ESPN: Sixth round to the Denver Broncos (No. 207 overall)

• DraftTek staff: Seventh round to the Detroit Lions (No. 249 overall)

DL Justin Rogers

Justin Rogers was rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 52 overall player in the Class of 2020. He began his career at Kentucky, where he played three seasons before transferring to Auburn for his final year. Rogers collected 17 tackles and a sack with the Tigers.

• Matt Miller of ESPN: Sixth round to the Dallas Cowboys (No. 216 overall)
