Josh Allen 1st round selection to Jacksonville Jaguars, and Lonnie Johnson 2nd round to Houston. This bodes well for UK.

Edwards got picked after I went to bed. I just hope that Cat fans watching this realize how special last years team really was. It'll be difficult to repeat last years number of victories this season!

Snell fell to the fourth round, after some legitimate Heisman hype. That is kinda sad, but Snell's game is not typical for NFL running backs. He possesses neither blazing speed nor brute power.
But, he is a great football player.
He would make a solid slot back, or even a receiver in the spread. His strength is good, but it is his shiftiness and ability to change speeds that makes him special.

I thought i read that he was predicted to go in the sixth round, so it was great to see him go in round #4. But to Pittsburgh??? I hate the Steelers. But i will root for Benny Snell.
You should also read what the Steeler coach said about Benny - that he was drafted to change the culture in Pittsburgh. They really think he can be a difference maker. I love it!

I wouldn't be surprised if Snell has a solid NFL career.

Other teams knew Snell was going to get the ball and he still got his yards against SEC defenses.
I do not know which NFL teams could have used him. My prediction is that those teams will be sorry they passed on him, when they see him play.
I did not believe in the run heavy offense that Kentucky relied on, the past two years. Thought they would win 7 games, this past season, barring injuries and if breaks went their way. They won 10 games and rode their bell cow, Snell, to their best win total since the Fran Curci era.
