Gophers 2022 NFL Draft Preview: Mafe, Faalele, Otomewo, Andries and others | Gopherhole


My guess:

Mafe - 1st to 3rd round
Fa’alele - 2nd to 3rd round
Andries- Latter rounds
Otomewo - Latter rounds to UDFA
 


I've been watching mock drafts more closely this year (but they are still mock drafts) and I'm seeing Mafe anywhere from late-first to mid-second, Faalele mostly second but third in some. Those two seem to be locks to get drafted. I've Otomewo show up lately in the 6th or 7th rounds, but haven't seen Andries anywhere. I'm a bit surprised on both of them because Otomewo didn't work out at either the combine or pro day and Andries isn't getting much credit for being a starter pretty much from the get-go with more than 40 starts across the OL on some pretty good OLs.

Yeah, I'm seeing the same, but I'd be willing to wager they'll both get drafted. They're not "name" prospects for draftniks, but the fact that Mafe and Faalele are drawing so much attention in front offices will surely benefit the others. Packed pro day, coaches talking to scouts/GMs, game film being reviewed with a fine-toothed comb, etc.
 


Not sure who will get drafted, but Vegas seems to be going all out for this draft. Blocking some streets off and lots of activities at the event. Didn't plan on going but got my NFLonePass this morning and plan on going over there on Thursday. Look forward to seeing some Gophers drafted.

You can place bets on this? Man, seems ripe for corruption. If you had inside info from a team, you could make a huge score......
