Some notable names to come off the board included Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book (New Orleans Saints), Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade (Baltimore Ravens), and LSU linebacker Jabril Cox (Dallas Cowboys). When all the picks were in, Machine Gun Kelly serenaded his hometown crowd with a lakefront concert.
