Three of the players were from the University of Tennessee, headed by safety Rashad Baker, who was the walk-on sensation of training camp.

That should save some nice caproom, and hopefully will help us later down the road in keeping Jennings and Shobel.

Maybe next year, all 15 or so undrafted FAs we get will be from the SEC.

Wasn't Rashad Baker one of our two 7th round picks?

No. Dylan McFarland, who replaced Sullivan, and Jonathan 'Freddie' Smith, who was cut, were our 7th round picks.
