Sid: Pro Football Focus labeled Gophers offensive tackle Daniel Faalele as one of the top NFL draft prospects in the Big Ten

per Sid:

• Pro Football Focus labeled Gophers offensive tackle Daniel Faalele as one of the top NFL draft prospects in the Big Ten: “Faalele is still far more a projection due to a lack of on-field performance at this point,” they wrote. “The 6-foot-9, 400-pound tackle has been playing football for only a few years, making his 76.5 pass-blocking grade last season very encouraging.”

Vikings are asking a lot of their skilled-position rookies

Hearing Faalele opting out this year. Also, Dunlap tore ACL- out for year; and Demetrious Douglas has decided not to play. Bad things for a successful season.

The Douglas rumor has been out there for sure. Hadn't heard about DF, but I'm nit surprised, I don't think his absence hurts us nearly as much as if what you say about Dunlap is true. DF seems like he has trouble staying healthy and may just opt up for the NFL draft. He needs to get much better to play and impact at the next level. Hope he is okay!
