Tennessee seems to like Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter and Colorado's two-way star Travis Hunter, and at least one of them should be available if they move back to No. 3. If they get into the range of No. 7, they would likely gain even more future capital but would miss out on the top-tier prospects in this year's class.

Tenneseee’s decision makers are relying on their past experience with No. 1 overall picks to evaluate a class without an obvious top prospect.
