    Florida had one NFL Draft pick in 2025, but it was a first round selection in Ricky Pearsall. This year, the Gators had no one taken in the first three rounds but still ended up with a healthy seven guys taken.

    Those events are unusual enough, but UF in this draft really showed how times have changed with how talent moves work in the last few years. Let’s look at some specific history to put this in context.

    Sometimes we play above our talent level... we'll see how that works out after the next year's draft. I just want to get back to the top and that means getting to 10-2. Finding a common thread of comparative picks patterns is not that high on my list of "achievements" this year or next. 10-2 is the achievement I'd like to see.

    Ten wins with at least a run at the POs and a top 3-5 recruiting class wouldn't suck at all. :)

    That would be refreshing. We need some chips to fall our way.
