per Sid:
PFF on U prospects
Pro Football Focus has an updated NFL draft big board, and it projects four Gophers being selected over the course of 255 picks next weekend.
PFF rates safety Antoine Winfield Jr. as the No. 38 prospect, wide receiver Tyler Johnson at No. 48, linebacker Carter Coughlin at No. 145 and linebacker Kamal Martin at No. 232.
When it comes to its mock draft of the first three rounds, PFF has Winfield going No. 50 to the Chicago Bears and Johnson going No. 102 to Pittsburgh.
PFF explained why Johnson’s would be a great fit with the Steelers: “The Steelers have coveted sudden route-runners over the years, and that is Johnson to a T. He was the highest-graded receiver in college football last year and finished top-10 in yards per route the past two seasons.”
PFF projects the Bears adding Winfield to bolster the defensive backfield with a player who could contribute right away: “Winfield’s seven interceptions didn’t happen by accident. He’s yet another ballhawk who the Bears add to their secondary. They could target offense in the second round, but returning their defense to its dominant 2018 form is their quickest route to Super Bowl contention.”

Vikings face big call on safety Anthony Harris' future
The safety was retained via the franchise tag, but Rick Spielman might be considering trade offers.
