My son asked me this question during the Tulsa game. My un-researched and not professional opinion answer was this:
Margus - yes, draftable
DJ - probably
McJunkin - maybe
Reed - maybe
JG - probably
Zach - probably, but only to a team that uses a fullback or possibly as a linebacker. Not sure if he would be considered for a feature running back on an NFL team.

Am a missing anyone else? Are the above assessments accurate?

Margus and Zach will get drafted.

Reed and JG have a shot at getting drafted, and will get a free agent look at minimum. I would be willing to bet that Reed stays on a roster after getting looked at.

IMO Zack might also get looked at by a team that wants use a 'change of pace' back as an addition to a speed back that they might already have.

If they need a back that will crash through some folks then Zach is their guy.

i wouldn't be surprised to see them all drafted with margus going in the first round.

Man, how I'd love a guy like Taylor Reed on my team. Smallish for NFL? Yes. But that dude can play. Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up with the Cowboys.

The thing that JG, Reed and ZL have going for them is that they all excel at special teams, which is rare for the star of a college squad, and may help all of them find roster spots. If there's one thing to appreciate about June, he puts the NFL-caliber guys in good positions to succeed at the next level, especially when they aren't top pick type guys and need a way to make a squad.

Zach could also thrive on a team that does a running back-by-committee approach, such as Pittsburgh or New Orleans.

The Bengals have a main back in Ben-jarvis Green-ellis who is very similar to Line...not super fast, but strong, willing to block for the quarterback, great in short yardage situations and rarely fumbles. I think he could easily fit in. Plus, his special team work gives him a huge upside over lots of other players.

Yeah, blocking and special teams play are big plusses for a guy like Zach who doesn't match the prototype.

If Toby Gerhart is in the NFL I think Zach can be as well

However many are drafted it should be more than UT or schools like that according to JJ.

That's a great comparison. Hope Zach has the same success in the NFL that Green-Ellis has had.

My guesses:
Drafted: Margus Hunt, Zach Line, Taylor Reed, Ja'Gared Davis
Free agent tryouts: Darius Johnson, Blake McJunkin, Bryan Collins, Kevin Grenier

Darius Johnson will get drafted.

I'd bet Margus, Line, and JG get drafted.

I wouldn't be surprised if TReed and/or McJunkin were picked up in the draft or as UFAs.
