Which Hawkeyes will get Picked in NFL Draft Today?

UPDATE: No Iowa players were selected on Friday, but several should go early on as the NFL draft concludes today.

For Iowa Hawkeye offensive lineman, the No. 23 is turning out to be lucky. On Thursday evening, Iowa left tackle Riley Reiff was selected at that spot by the Detroit Lions in the NFL draft. 

Two years ago, former Iowa left tackle Bryan Bulaga went to the Green Bay Packers at the same spot. 

Some analysts expect Reiff, a 6-6, 300 pound giant from Parkston, S.D., to switch over to right tackle in the pros. He was a three year starter for Iowa.

Rounds four to seven will take place beginning at 11 a.m. (CST) today. It is being broadcast from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on ESPN.

Several Hawkeyes were projected by some to go in the third round on Friday, but none did. Wide receiver Marvin McNutt, defensive end Mike Daniels and offensive guard Adam Gettis should be in the mix today.

Other Iowa names to listen for as the draft plays out include cornerback Shaun Prater, offensive lineman Markus Zusevics, linebacker Tyler Nielsen, defensive end Broderick Binns and tight end Brad Herman.

NFL draft guru Todd McShay projects Daniels, Gettis, Prater and Zuzevics all to be selected in the fourth round, McNutt to go in the fifth round and Nielsen in the seventh round.

For Cyclone fans, McShay has Kelechi Osemele, a guard from Iowa State, was selected by Baltimore in the second round. McShay projects Leonard Johnson, a cornerback from Iowa State, in the fourth round to Jacksonville Jaguars.
