Where final NFL mock drafts have FSU's Azareye'h Thomas and others being taken
It’s obviously going to be much less exciting than a year ago when the FSU football team had 10 players selected in the NFL Draft, but Seminole fans still have some reasons to watch this year’s three-day event in Green Bay.
Just probably not so much tonight.
Though FSU cornerback Azareye’h Thomas generated some buzz as a potential late-first-round pick earlier in the process, most mock drafts from NFL experts now have him going in the top half of the second. The first round of the draft will take place tonight at 8 p.m. ET, followed by the second and third rounds on Friday, and the final four rounds on Saturday.
TheRinger.com has Thomas at No. 38 overall on its Big Board, which could put him among the earliest picks in the second round, while some others have him going in the middle of the second.
Charlie Campbell with WalterFootball.com has Thomas going with the No. 48 pick overall to the Miami Dolphins, and NFL.com’s Chad Reuter has the Niceville native going at No. 50 to the Seattle Seahawks.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper has the former FSU cornerback at No. 48 on his final Big Board.
The second FSU player expected to go in this year’s draft is defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, who is projected by most to be selected in the third round.
Campbell has Farmer going at No. 68, which is early in the third round, to the Las Vegas Raiders, while Reuter projects him to go at No. 75 to the San Francisco 49ers. (The 49ers drafted FSU’s Renardo Green and Tatum Bethune in last year’s draft.)
TheRinger has Farmer listed as the No. 91 overall prospect on its Big Board, which again would put him in the third round.

After Thomas and Farmer, the Seminoles could hear a couple more players’ names announced during the three-day draft, but there are no sure things.
Placekicker Ryan Fitzgerald is projected as a seventh-round pick in multiple mock drafts; Campbell has him going to the Baltimore Ravens, while Reuter predicts he will be selected by the Indianapolis Colts.
Reuter also has former FSU cornerback Fentrell Cypress going in the sixth round to the New York Jets.
Several other former Florida State players will be seeking free-agent contracts if they don’t get drafted, including punter Alex Mastromanno, offensive tackle Jeremiah Byers, defensive back Kevin Knowles, receiver Ja’Khi Douglas, running back Lawrance Toafili, linebacker Cam Riley and quarterback DJ Uiagalelei.
