The 2024 NFL draft is still five months away, but it is never too early to discuss the possibility of which Auburn Tigers will head to the league next.
According to a mock draft from Pro Football Network, the first Tiger that could be taken in the 2024 NFL draft is cornerback [autotag]D.J. James[/autotag]. James has been a valuable asset to the Auburn defense in two seasons and could be a great piece to an NFL franchise.
Which team is projected to take James? The mock draft simulator from Pro Football Network forecasts the Dallas Cowboys as the winner. The draft field has not been set yet, but Pro Football Network believes that James and the Cowboys could pair up with the No. 60 overall selection.
In two seasons at Auburn, James has recorded 75 tackles with three interceptions and 18 pass deflections. Mixing in his three-year career at Oregon, James recorded 147 tackles and five interceptions over a five-year collegiate career.
The 2024 NFL draft is slated to begin Thursday, Apr. 25 in Detroit, Michigan.
