Injuries are at fault more than talent. Jon Toth was projected to fall between the third and fifth round before suffering a back injury that required surgery just weeks before the draft. Offensive tackle Cole Mosier had similar NFL projections prior to his senior season, until a knee injury ended his UK career.
There’s an outside shot Mosier could hear his name called before the draft concludes on Saturday. Austin MacGinnis, Juice Johnson, Kyle Meadows and Courtney Love may as well, but they will likely have to wait and sign with teams as free agents.
There’s no shame in that.
