Gophers Draft Outlook for Next Year

The Minnesota Gophers’ NFL draft streak hit a snag last year, with only one player—Deven Eastern—selected in the seventh round, but the future looks promising as key returners mean fewer players are leaving early. Next year’s draft could see breakout stars like Greg Johnson and Drake Lindsey, though Lindsey needs a massive leap to shine. Others like Nathan Roy, John Nestor, and Darius Taylor (despite injury concerns) could hear their names called in later rounds, while tough, productive players like Maverick Baranowski and young prospects Bennett Warren, Emmanuel Karmo, and Nate Cleveland are quietly building momentum. While the Gophers may not dominate early rounds, a strong showing from one or more players in the first two days remains very possible.
