with 5. That's awesome. But how many are expected to be drafted next year?

In 2019, Utah also had 5. But then followed up with 7 in 2020. (Note, how many schools have placed 12 in the NFL draft in a 2 year period. It's impressive.)

Losing 12 to the draft in two years, the expectation you're placing for Utah to have another 5 is unreasonable. That's not how CFB works.

Utah had a few emerge as attractive draft options. Certainly would've gone higher than several of BYUs this year.

No shame in that for either school. But I wouldn't mock Utah's returning starters' draft grade either...with BYU getting 3 in the 7th round.

Utah expects to have another 4-5 next year. So that would be 3 out of 4 years, they match or exceed BYU's great draft.

So in the off year for Utah, I wouldn't be as critical.
