I think teams are generally pretty smart - why spend a pick on a player that could easily be signed as a free agent?

Paul Lasike didn't exactly set the world on fire at BYU - he might make a solid FB or a short-yardage power back. Lasike will be slower in comparison to the other guys on the field, and will no longer enjoy such a pronounced size/weight advantage. The NFL already devalues RBs, and I see no reason why anyone would spend a pick on him.

Similar thing with Leslie. He's a receiver from UTEP, and wasn't even the leading receiver on BYU's team last year. There's no question that he's good, but is he great? Nope, and draft picks usually get spent on great players or guys with a lot of upside. Leslie doesn't match either description. He'll get a chance to sign somewhere, and he might even make a 53 man roster. But it would be a reach to draft him - and if a team is going to reach on a receiver, why not draft a player from a better conference who has consistently faced stiffer competition?

Still obnoxious that the radio show would spend so much time covering Utah, and then barely mention BYU. But from an objective standpoint, they have more talent on their roster (and have for a while). If they ever got a QB and a decent offensive coordinator, they could make some waves.
