The NFL Draft starts on April 28 – one week from Thursday. If it were held this week, here’s how one expert from cbssports.com sees it going for South Carolina players in a mock draft.

ROUND 3

88. Packers

Jerell Adams, TE

While Jared Cook (also USC) is the short-term answer, Adams gives Green Bay a flex tight end to groom.

95. Lions

Pharoh Cooper, WR

The Lions understand what a talent like Randall Cobb can add to an offense, and Cooper is in that mold.

ROUND 6

209. Ravens

Brandon Shell, T
