Canes insider Alex Donno breaks down the NFL Draft outlook for Hurricanes football, focusing on standout prospects Francis Mauigoa and Rueben Bain Jr.. Donno says it would be a dream scenario for the Miami Dolphins to land either player at pick 11, while also noting how draft discourse often shifts from praise during the season to nitpicking in the pre-draft process.
