NFL Draft..Longhorn Player Rankings.

[beevomav]

We are 19 Days from the NFL Draft and CBS Sports has ranked all the players in the NFL Draft. Here is the list of Texas Longhorns on that list:

# 19 Kenny Vaccaro - Safety

He is ranked number on of the Safety prospects. Their four experts have him going to Rams, Bengals, Giants or Cowboys in the first round.

# 31 Alex Okafor - DE.

He is ranked number six of defensive ends. Their experts have him going in the second round, but didn't name a team.

# 98 Marquis Goodin - WR

He is ranked number thirteen of Wide Receivers. Their experts have him going in the third round.

# 580 Brandon Moore - DT

He is ranked the number forty four at Defensive End. He is not expected to be drafted.

Unranked DJ Monroe RR

DJ is the 26th ranked but is not expected to be drafted.

Unranked DJ Grant - TE

DJ is the eighteenth ranked TE but is not expected to be drafted.

The above are the only players in the draft profile, and that is 750 players. Some of these guys are probably done with their football careers and so are the other player who entered the draft.

Good luck to them all and Hook Em Horns!

Sure was smart for Brandon Moore to declare early.

Looks to me that he was probably "encouraged" to leave the 40 acres. He underachieved last year. A potential bust, but a 3-4 team should bring him to camp just to see if he's ready to work.

Yes having 43 DE ranked ahead of you is not good..but..I have seen guys who underachieved in college become good pros.

Moore was, like you said, more than likely told that he would have a limited role on the squad next year and declared. JUCO bust for Mack & co.... I think Okafor could be a steal in the 2nd round and we know that if Vaccaro is around when Dallas picks --- he WILL be a Cowboy. All the projected undrafted players will end up on a squad somewhere as UFA's... even Moore.

In a lot of ways, it is better to be signed as a UFA than drafted in the 6th round. You might get a small signing bonus and a team like the Cowboys is a good one to select. Romo and Austin are two UFA they have signed in the past.
