NFL Draft Expectations for Former Louisville Football Players

With the NFL Draft just a few days away, it’s time to take a look at where we can expect our favorite players from last year’s team to get drafted.

As the draft draws nearer, we’re starting to see more and more seven-round mock drafts, so we’re starting to get a better idea of where players will land.

Over the last month, we’ve seen numerous former Cardinals shooting up various mock drafts, and now it seems like Louisville could even have a player selected within the first 100 picks.

Yaya Diaby, Yasir Abdullah, and Kei’Trel Clark are all surefire locks to get drafted this year, but there are plenty of others, like Malik Cunningham, Tiyon Evans, and Trevor Reid that also have a realistic shot at hearing their names called this week.

The 2023 NFL Draft begins this Thursday, April 27, 2023, at 8:00 PM EST and goes through Saturday, April 29, 2023. Let’s take a look at where we can expect to see our former Cardinals get drafted in just a few days.
