Where Are All These NFL Draft Picks Bert Promised?

I see Wisconsin still putting lots of guys in the league, but there isn't an Arkansas player even sniffing getting drafted and it's mid way through round 4.

They're currently on the team.
That's what I'm telling myself.

I mean we're like top 5 in the SEC in draft picks since he's been here, his problem is we probably have more draft picks than wins. None of them have gone very high though.

Honestly, I don't know who even gets drafted today besides Sprinkle. Maybe Wise but he's so slow, I just don't know.

Skipper?

I'm no fan of Bert, but this is a program problem.
What's more depressing is that we haven't had a first round pick since DMac and Felix were both drafted in 2008. We didn't have a second rounder for the same stretch of time until Hunter Henry last year.
I'm legitimately flummoxed that our offensive linemen have barely sniffed the NFL under Bert. Since he was hired, we've had a grand total of 2 offensive linemen drafted: Swanson in 2014 (who doesn't really count) and Tretola last year.

Maybe Skipper, but he was a liability in pass protection. His height might be viewed as a negative given the need to dip and bend to prevent a DE from getting leverage.
Wise absolutely fell off a cliff this year. He had no burst off the line, and his spin move was terrible (it's really never been good).
I'd say Sprinkle is obviously the best bet given his measurables and the import of his position in the NFL, but the Belk Bowl fiasco doesn't help.

Kirkland was UDFA but he made a squad

He probably gets drafted this year if he comes back for his senior year.
Ragnow probably gets drafted decently high next year.
Still doesn't paint our OL development in a good light.

Not at all. OLINE was supposed to be Bert's forte. It's been a disaster

Wise is going to the Pats right now

Something like 22 player on D drafted under Nutt and 5 since. That's unacceptable.

Bet Wise plays inside much more than outside.
At least he couldn't have gone to better coaching staff.

Flowers
Spaight
Philon
Smith
Bequette
Mitchel
And now Wise so 7.
Bequette being the only one drafted during Petrino's tenure.

Sprinkle to the Redskins at 154.
Seems like Ark players only get drafted by 3 teams, NE, Wash, and SD.
