Charismatic ESPN analyst and former NFL head coach Jon Gruden is known to fall head over heels in love with his favorite draft prospects.

Well, this year, Gruden is having an all-out affair with the Miami Hurricanes, according to Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald. And it makes him wonder how they managed to finish with a 6-7 record in 2014.

Gruden raved about offensive lineman Ereck Flowers and receiver Phillip Dorsett as potential first rounders, Navarro reports. The analyst also mentioned linebacker Denzel Perryman and running back Duke Johnson as Hurricanes he likes.

"I'm really shocked Miami didn't have more success on the field," Gruden told Navarro, "but those four Hurricanes are going to go high. You watch. They're going to go real high in this draft and make some people real happy."
