Five ex-Warriors — including second-round picks Samson Satele and Ikaika Alama-Francis — were selected in the draft, the most since the NFL cut the draft to seven rounds in 1994. Three former UH players were taken in 2003, according to a list in the UH football media guide.

Mauia, who is 5-feet-11, 272 pounds, was picked seventh in the sixth round by the Dolphins and 181st overall.

Mauia said he was stunned to be drafted.

"I thought I would be a free agent," he said.

Purcell, who is 6-feet-5 and 289 pounds, was taken 26th in the sixth round and 200th overall by the Browns.

Ilaoa, who is 5-9, 255 pounds, was taken 26th in the seventh round and 236th overall.

Satele, a former UH center, was taken in the second round yesterday by Miami. Alama-Francis, a defensive end, also was taken in the second round by Detroit.

Mauia, a former defensive lineman, was the third leading rusher for the Warriors last season with 31 attempts for 153 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught 10 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.

Purcell was the fourth leading tackler for the Warriors last season with 36 solo tackles and 24 assisted tackles. He had a team-leading 15.5 tackles for losses totaling 47 yards, and 9.5 sacks for 39 yards.
