The league announced which 22 prospects will be in attendance at the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia on Thursday.

While most players will dub the night as one of the most exciting of their young lives, one unlucky soul will have to watch as 21 others stroll out onto the big stage to realize their dream.

So the question remains, which of the 22 prospects will be last to leave the green room?

Adoree' Jackson

The USC cornerback has been climbing up draft boards lately, mostly due to his impressive speed and possible use as a two-way player.

However, his name has been mentioned almost exclusively as a Day 2 pick, possibly a third-rounder. Jackson is undersized for an NFL cornerback, plays overaggressive at times, and can't do much in support.

With so many talented defensive backs in this year's crop, Jackson may have been overconfident projecting where he will be taken.

DeShone Kizer

Where the quarterbacks will be selected in this year's draft remains a mystery.

Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson seem like they will likely go somewhere in the first round while Texas Tech product Patrick Mahomes has been sky-rocketing up draft boards.

Kizer and his college coach have openly admitted that the quarterback needs more development before stepping on to an NFL field, which could cause teams to second guess him as a franchise cornerstone.

Cam Robinson

Robinson had been a highly touted prospect early in his college career, however, he simmered off in his junior season. He looks like he will be a startable offensive tackle, but not a star.

Once expected to be the top blocker in this draft, Robinson could now easily be passed by Wisconsin's Ryan Ramczyk, Utah's Garrett Bolles, and Western Kentucky's Forrest Lamp.

Chidobe Awuzie

Like Jackson, the Colorado cornerback may be a victim of an over-talented class at his position.

Awuzie has not received much attention through the draft process, potentially due to playing at Colorado, which isn't known for producing NFL stars. Though he should be a solid starter, Awuzie likely isn't going to be a No. 1 shutdown corner and is more suited to play in the slot.

He may simply fall because of his lack of notoriety in a stacked class.
