Wildcats Striving to End NFL Draft Dry Spell

The Wildcats’ draft drought ended when defensive tackle Roy Lopez and running back Gary Brightwell were selected in the sixth round by the Houston Texans and New York Giants, respectively. It had been two years since a player from the Wildcats had been chosen in the draft.

In Tempe, nearby, the Sun Devils have had at least one player picked in the last nine NFL drafts, with four players selected in 2022.

Since 2010, the FBS programs in Arizona have had a total of 45 draft picks, with the Sun Devils contributing 28 and the Wildcats contributing 17.

NFL Draft Buzz predicts that none of the four draft-eligible players from the two schools will be chosen in the 2023 NFL Draft. Nesta Jade Silvera, a defensive tackle from ASU, has the highest rating of 77.0 out of 100 among all players.

FanDuel Sportsbook in Arizona has Will Anderson as the favorite at -250 to be the first defensive player drafted in the upcoming draft from Alabama.

Xazavian Valladay, a redshirt senior running back at Arizona State University, holds the second highest grade on the website at 76.0. Christian Young, a senior safety at the University of Arizona, trails closely behind with a grade of 74.2. Meanwhile, Kyle Soelle, a redshirt senior linebacker at ASU, has a grade of 30.0.

Silvera is the highest-ranked Arizona collegiate prospect at 242nd overall, with Valladay coming in as the second closest player at 261st.
