Grading every SEC team's transfer portal haul: Auburn

The Tigers added some really quality pieces this offseason. It was key for them to bring in multiple quarterbacks given the race out the door that Auburn's previous signal callers were engaging in.

The hope is that Jackson Arnold can become the quality passer that he had trouble developing into while at Oklahoma. With the receiver corps that he'll have on the Plains, including a guy like Eric Singleton, things should be set up well for him.

PICKUPS:
TE Preston Howard
S Taye Seymore
DL Dallas Walker IV
K Connor Gibbs
P Hudson Kaak
OT Mason Murphy
RB Durell Robinson
