The Gators lost the longest active streak in the country when they did not have a first-round pick tonight.
Florida had seen its players go in the first round the past five years.
That ranked ahead of Alabama, California and Missouri, which each had
three consecutive drafts with a first-rounder.
From 2007 through ’11, the Gators had eight first-round picks: DE
Jarvis Moss (’07 — No. 17), S Reggie Nelson (’07 — No. 21), DE Derrick
Harvey (’08 — No. 8), WR/RB Percy Harvin (’09 — No. 22), CB Joe Haden
(’10 — No. 7), OL Maurkice Pouncey (’10 — No. 18), QB Tim Tebow (’10 —
No. 25) and OL Mike Pouncey (’11 — No. 15).
Florida’s best prospect in this draft is RB Chris Rainey, who is projected to go no higher than the third round.
