Go Gophers!!
 

Boye Mafe 4.85? He’s a lot faster than that, and he should be higher than #10 on this list.
 

SI is totally mailing this in. They're doing every team, so they're just quickly ripping through some quick metric

Yes, Faalele is gonna get drafted on measurables alone, but he really didn't play well last year. Meanwhile, everyone who actually breaks down our stuff (Burns/House/Pro Football Focus) thinks John Michael Schmitz is one of the best OL in college football. He's 6'4 315, so it's not like he doesn't have the size.

Mafe should be higher...all of us agree on that

And then my personal opinion, Spann-Ford is a big time NFL prospect. He's got the measurables that Faalele has, plus he's gonna put up some numbers. He might not break out this year, but he's got 3 years left and he's gonna have a breakout party in one of them.

If all these guys get drafted, it may mean they may have won a title.
 

Six of the starting OL have the potential to be drafted, but every one of them other than JMS had some really rough patches throughout the season. Especially the one they have listed 2nd on the list.

But for some guys, they are such athletic freaks, it does not matter. Been saying this for months on here: barring an injury or forgetting how to stand up, Daniel would/will get drafted in the 2021 NFL Draft based on potential and upside alone. Even if he went out too early, teams will take him based on the possibilty of getting a generational OL. People need to get used to the idea that Daniel will only be back in 2021 if he sees a value in getting his degree or thinks he can make himself a 1st-round pick with another year. He will not be coming back because he is not on draft boards.
