The 28 picks included four in the top 100, the highest in 2011 when Villanova offensive tackle Ben Ijalana went to the Indianapolis Colts in the second round at No. 49 overall. Several CAA players could be selected in this week’s seven-round draft, but the 12-team conference will be even busier after the draft Saturday night, when undrafted free agent commitments are made faster than the draft picks. In small-school draft expert Josh Buchanan’s rankings for DraftScout, he has 17 CAA players in his top 55 FCS prospects – nearly twice as many as the next-highest conference and all with a draftable grade or high priority free agent status.
