In 2022, we had one player drafted in the 7th round. In 2025, we had the #1 overall pick and finished 6th in total players drafted. We've made progress. There is still a lot of room to go.

That's really it.

I will add that if we end up with only 5 draftees in 2026, we won't have a double-digit win total in 2025 IMO.

I'm comparing year 3 Manny to year 3 Mario. I don't agree with using year 1 Mario to year 3 Mario. It's a metric, but it has to many flaws to be relevant. Hopefully, year 4 w/Mario is even better. That is something we both can agree on.

Year 3 Manny ('21)- 2022 draft.
Jon Ford was drafted in the 7th round.

Thanks.

And I’m not in Gainesville anymore. Been in Georgia over a decade now. I made this account when I was getting my MBA at UF and didn’t use it until recently.
 
Cooper would've bounced to the league if he even sniffed day 2.

Its Francis and maybe Bain early with Beck as a wildcard and a bunch of Day 3 guys.

Agree with you. On the other hand, I also think we'll have more than 5 draftees and will have double digit wins. It's just too early to tell who the breakout guys will be.

I’m going to say 4. I think Francis, Bain, Beck and I like Daniels. I don’t see it with Bell at all. He is massive (immunity), but he’s slow, a waste bender, and doesn’t anchor well. I think he’s our biggest liability on the OL this year. I don’t think Fletcher gets drafted for the reasons you mentioned. In fact, I think he ends the year as RB3 but will get most of our goal line work. Moten has best shot of getting into day 3, but likely not.

Moten is a sneaky one. It was difficult to find any bright spots on the defense last year but he’s come along

I think Bell will still be in Miami in 2026 and after that we might be having some serious discussions about draft status

Unless he redshirts (or plays in no more than 4 games), I think he's out of eligibility after 2025.

I believe JUCO rules changed this last year and gave him another season

But keeping up with these god**** rule changes is ridiculous

You are correct sir on both accounts. Diego Pavia case (cited below via Google) gives Bell another year, assuming I read it correctly. And by "read it correctly," I meant skimmed.
And yes, keeping up with the rule changes is absurd.
  • The Diego Pavia Case:
    Diego Pavia, a former JUCO player, sued the NCAA, arguing that the NCAA unfairly counted his JUCO years against his overall eligibility. He won an injunction, which led to the NCAA granting the waiver.
