Gophers 2020 Draft/Combine Conversation

I would love Winfield on the VIkings. If they choose not to re-sign Anthony Harris (because he will be too expensive) Winfield would be an awesome pick. Tyler Johnson would be a good pick too, but the VIkings are going to have a lot of holes to fill with WR not being one of them

Unless Diggs gets heady for not getting the ball thrown to him more often and skeddadles elsewhere.

You know how NFL teams bring back alumni to announce some picks in the NFL draft. Imagine the Vikes bring back Antoine Winfield Sr to announce a pick - and he gets to announce his son's name.

Hey, a guy can dream.

Hadn't thought about this. This would be very cool!

Thats a good point. Hes really young and locked into an expensive, but not outrageous contract. They could actually get a decent haul in a trade for him.

Always glad to see Minnesota Gophers get recognized for their hard work. Saw this 7 round 2020 draft projection:

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft...ers-take-qbs-on-day-2-steelers-start-with-rb/

They had several gophers projected to get drafted:

Rd 3 - #78 - Tyler Johnson
Rd 6 - #184 - Kamal Martin
Rd 6 - #207 - Antonio Winfield
Rd 7 - #249 - Carter Coughlin

I think there are a little low on some, but nice to see them having all 4 getting drafted. 2015 was the last time we got 4 players drafted and would have to go back to 1988 when we had more players drafted (of course they had more rounds then). 1950 was the last time we had more than 4 drafted in the first 7 rounds of any draft.

Excited to see what their combine numbers are, how they perform in their Bowl game and in the draft bowl games.

Love to hear other people thoughts on other people draft expectations for our expected draftees.

Antonio might not make it, but Antoine would.
