The Missouri Tigers finished with a 10-3 record and tied for fourth in the SEC in 2024, living up to expectations after fielding a talented roster. Following the season, several of the Tigers’ top players declared for the NFL Draft.
With draft night less than two weeks away, we’re here to break down where Missouri’s draft-eligible players are projected to land and analyze why they fall in that spot.
OT Armand Membou Mock Draft Projections
- ESPN: Round 1, Pick 7
- USA Today: Round 1, Pick 11
There’s a growing consensus that the New York Jets will take Membou with the seventh pick. The Jets have a dire need for a young offensive tackle, and Membou would fit that bill. If he isn’t taken there, he won’t last much longer, as Membou is widely considered one of the top protectors in the draft.
WR Luther Burden III Mock Draft Projections
- ESPN: Round 2, Pick 38
- Pro Football Network: Round 2, Pick 35
Burden came into the season as a consensus first-round pick but didn’t produce as well on the field as he had in prior years due to a variety of reasons, some of which were out of his control. Despite that, he’s unlikely to still be on the board by the middle of the second round. There remains a possibility that the Tigers wide receiver could sneak into the back end of Round 1, but it’s much more likely he will go very early on Day 2.
WR Theo Wease Jr. Mock Draft Projections
- Sports Illustrated: Round 5
- Pro Football Focus: Round 6
A highly-rated recruit out of high school, Wease never totaled over 1,000 yards receiving in any season during his five-year collegiate career. He still has noticeable talent, which should keep him from going undrafted.
QB Brady Cook Mock Draft Projections
- NFL Draft Buzz: UDFA
- NFL Mock Draft Database: UDFA
Missouri’s star quarterback, Cook, was expected to be a draft pick prior to the season, but after producing only 11 touchdown passes in 12 games, his grade has dropped to an undrafted free agent.

He’ll unquestionably secure a training camp deal with a chance to earn a roster spot, but it has been a stark falloff for the Tigers passer.
