 Connor Griffin was the highest Mississippian taken in the draft at number nine, along with other notables in the high rounds like Madison Central product, Braden Montgomery and Mississippi State's Tarangelo Sanja, both taken in the first round as well. For those wondering if players from their favorite team are likely to sign a professional contract and forego their final years of college eligibility, it's highly probable that if they went in the first 10 rounds, they'll sign the dotted line to play pro.
