While Martin has fallen off the radar compared to Winfield and Tyler Johnson, Gophers teammates who are expected to be picked earlier in the draft, Fleck said NFL teams haven’t misplaced Martin.

“I know this: There is not a head coach or a GM or scout that has forget about Kamal Martin whatsoever, at all,” Fleck said. “He is one of the best players in college football; nobody forgets about them. People are probably being quiet because they are keeping their cards close to their vest.”

Now the question is, do teams think they need to swoop in during early rounds to take him or can wait until later rounds?

“One thing that I’ve learned about the NFL is you don’t want to get your secrets out,” Fleck said. “It’s an information-gathering league, not an information-giving league, when you are talking inside the walls of those NFL teams.”


Go Gophers!!

Go Gophers!!

Which is why the draft is so much fun and good predictions tend to have only 33% of the right players in the right spots after the first 3 picks. I'm looking forward to the draft coverage as much as I was looking forward to the Prince Tribute last night as a welcome distraction.
 

If for whatever reason he doesn't get drafted. I'm sure the Vikings will give him a shot. Any team who passes on him will pay the price.

If he's not drafted, he's going to be a highly-sought after UDFA.
