Had defensive tackle PJ Johnson not been taken by the Detroit Lions in the seventh round on Saturday, the Arizona Wildcats would have gone without a draft pick for the second time in three years.
But that lone pick continued Arizona’s recent trend of poor draft performances, with only four players selected in the last five years.
Arizona entered the 2019 draft next-to-last in the Pac-12 in terms of players drafted since the league expanded to 12 teams in 2011. It’s now tied for last with the Washington State Cougars having two guys taken this year and the Colorado Buffaloes getting one selection.
