The No. 2 pick in the draft, redshirt junior Wilton Speight, went to the Blue Team. The Blue Team also drafted defensive end Chase Winovich with the third selection.
During the 2016 season, the 6-foot-6, 243-pound quarterback completed 204-of-331 passes (61.6 percent) for 2,538 yards, 18 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
The fourth and fifth picks belonged to Team Maize, who selected linebacker Devin Bush Jr. and athlete Khaleke Hudson. Hudson has played safety and viper linebacker in the past.
Sophomore running back Chris Evans, who carried the ball 88 times for 614 yards and four touchdowns last season, will line up behind Speight on the Blue Team. Team Maize also picked two more defensive starters in safety Tyree Kinnel and linebacker Mike McCray.
