Utah defensive tackle Paul Soliai is headed to Miami, which drafted him with the ninth pick of round four and 108th selection overall. Soliai is one of many strong Mountain West Conference players still available who could be great impact players for teams.

Some of the top MWC guys left include tight end Jonny Harline from BYU, defensive tackle Kelly Talavou from Utah, safety John Wendling from Wyoming and offensive lineman Robert Turner from UNM. We'll talk more about Turner's prospects later, which unfortunately aren't looking as good as most Lobo fans might think heading into today. And don't yell at me for not mentioning Kenny Byrd. Of course I think he's clutch and can play at the next level, it's just that kickers don't get drafted. It's better for them to get invited to a tryout.
