  Draft Scout by Conference









  Gophers receiver Tyler Johnson dominated in the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on New Year's Day, and now he's headed back to Florida. The Buccaneers selected Johnson in the fifth round with the 161st overall pick of the NFL draft on Saturday. The North Minneapolis native also will remain teammates with Antoine Winfield Jr., after the Gophers' safety was drafted by the Bucs in the second round Friday. Three more Gophers went later in the draft: Burnsville linebacker Kamal Martin to the Packers with the 175th pick in the fifth round; Eden Prairie linebacker/defensive end Carter Coughlin to the Giants with the 218th pick in the seventh round; and Atlanta nickle back Chris Williamson also to Giants with 247th pick.

The Gophers' five-pack of picks set a new program record for the most in one class since the current seven-round format started in 1994. They had four picks in 2001, '06 and '15. Over that entire span, Minnesota had averaged 1.3 players drafted per year. "This is the first year you're going to start to see … big draft classes come out," Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck said. "Whether five guys get drafted, three guys get drafted, it's going to propel us into the future." - Pioneer Press
