LEXINGTON -- Kentucky football's 2022 NFL draft started with a bang and ended with a whimper.
The Wildcats' draft class surprised with three selections in the first 65 picks, but projected second rounder Darian Kinnard fell to the fifth round and a trio of NFL combine invitees thought to be likely day three picks went undrafted.
Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, defensive end Josh Paschal, center Luke Fortner and Kinnard gave Kentucky at least four draft picks for the third time in the last four years. With Fortner and Kinnard selected, Kentucky produced multiple offensive line draft picks in the same year for the first time since 1993.
