Six Tigers received an invite to the NFL Combine later this month, but will they all hear their names called on draft night? We did out best to project where the top Mizzou talents might land. Check it out.
Young is the cream of the crop for Mizzou draftables this year, and a brilliant Senior Bowl showing has done him a lot of favors. He's been projected anywhere from the back end of the first round to the middle of the second, but Chicago makes a ton of sense at 25. The Bears need edge help across the way from Montez Sweat, and Young has the all the tools to be a great run defender and solid pass rusher.
Trotter will likely see his name called next and the Bengals need all the defensive help they can get. While Trotter won't bring tons of help in coverage, he's a tone-setter on defense and could help Cincinnatti bring some grit back into their defense.
McClellan has great size and will fill a rotational role wherever he goes. While his ceiling might not be as high as some other prospects, he provides a high floor and would boost an Atlanta front that might be losing edge James Pearce Jr. for a significant amount of time. The former Mizzou defensive tackle has flown under the radar but a nice combine could see him jump up into the third round.
Coleman was another prospect who benefited from a nice showing at the Senior Bowl. While the quarterback issues as Mizzou didn't let him fully showcase his full skillset, Coleman's shiftiness and potential return abilities will make him a nice slot NFL player. Las Vegas has plenty of talent between tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty, but lack playmakers at receiver.
Trost was one of the best transfers for Missouri in 2025, and made a name for himself as one of the top tackles in the SEC. With Rob Havenstein's retirement, the Rams will be in the market for a new tackle.
