Still looking at this past weekend’s NFL draft, here’s a short piece categorizing MWC related things into winners and losers. This clearly isn’t an exhaustive list but are some of the trends and observations from the draft.
Winners
Hawaii
The Rainbow Warriors were the only MWC team with two players drafted this season and they had the player who was drafted the highest in 2nd rounder Jahlani Tavai. John Ursua was a bit of a surprise but was still deserving and found a good fit in Seattle.
Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings selected 40% of the MWC drafted this year and 33% of their picks come from the MWC.
