These really are strange times. Kingsbury takes a defensive player over a WR in the 1st round.

Five Big 12 players selected in the first round. Two gooners, 2 toads and a tortilla flinger.

As a Dallas fan, I'm happy with the Lamb pick.

That was a no brainer. I would have burned my fan card had they passed on him.

I was hoping Dallas drafted John Lynch. ?

 

[Baron]

Hopefully the Cowboys can take Delpit since Duggar is already gone. But the last S drafted this early by the Boys was Woodson.

Curious pick by the iggles. They spend a 2nd rounder on a back up? Or has the Wentz injury bug made them look for another starter?

The Cardinals did not allow Kingsbury to pick any of his defensive staff, so I doubt if he has any say on the draft.

It was tongue in cheek.

It was tongue in cheek.

That's probably the safest place to keep your tongue.

That makes the dearth of UT draft picks even more profound.

I just used dearth and profound in the same sentence.....it's time to go to bed.

Texas safety back Brandon Jones was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 70th overall pick in the third round.

Texas WR Devin Duvernay was selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the 92nd overall pick in the third round.

Through 4 rounds LSU has had 12 players drafted.  I have to believe they will be a much weaker team next season, and primed for a loss to Texas.  Yes, we have had very few drafted this year, but we have experience returning.  I’m sure LSU has quality guys to step into the roles of the drafted players, but I have to believe that they will be a bit green and this will decrease the LSU team talent next season.  Now fill up the shot glass with burnt orange Kool-Aid and chug.

Texas WR Collin Johnson was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 19th pick in the 5th round.

Out of that eligible players list, Texas really only had 6 guys eligible: Jones, Johnson, Duverney, Shack, McCulloch and Roach.  So, 50% got drafted and 2 already got picked up as UDFA.  Texas should have a good showing next year, although I'm hoping they don't because that means Ossai, Sterns, Green and other Jr's. are returning for their senior season.
