Was the staff passing on Klare and taking Endries really due to size?  Because the NFL apparently didn’t agree 

My recollection is we wanted Klare as our top TE choice but he preferred to stay in the Big 10 since he's from Ohio and played at Purdue.  He wasn't highly rated out of high school but shined at Purdue so OSU became an option for him.

OSU (allegedly) made him a very solid NIL offer since they were light at TE.  Probably a no-brainer for him, we didn't really pass on him so much as he wanted to go to OSU and he passed on us.  I can't recall him even making a visit to Austin.

Endries was our consolation prize.

I wouldn't have guessed that 16 other TEs would be taken while Endries is still on the board. Excited to see where he lands!

Clear osu made him a good nil offer. I just recall something about him not being the size that we expected during a visit or something along those lines. Maybe it was just an excuse and we were simply beaten by osu.

Hopefully these future juniors drop the ego and quit thinking they are too good for a 4th year.   
BARRON: came back as senior and won Thorpe.  Went first round. 
Muhammad: left after junior year. Didn’t do much as junior.  Still undrafted as of 4th round.  

Manny isn't increasing his stock with another year. Athleticism is and has always been his limitation.

The Cincinnati Bearkats were one of the best teams in college football last season, but their opponents didn't realize it.

Quinn would have been 2nd-3rd round pick in this draft 

[Alex Butler]

Endries getting disrespected all over the place. DJ too you can’t tell me all these lame TEs/G are better than them!!! 🤬

Its a laundry list of reasons we missed the playoffs.  Archs terrible start to the season is one of them but not the biggest reason or even close

I realized the draft was a political joke when Quinn Ewers was drafted in the 7th Round last year . Our QB that brought Texas Longhorns back to prominence was drafted in the 7th Round . Absolutely shameful.

You think politics sent Quinn to the 7th round? What political axe was being ground?

DJ Campbell to the dolphins

[Jeff Howe]

DJ Campbell becomes the fifth Longhorn drafted, going to the Dolphins with pick No. 200 overall in the sixth round.

[LonghornFan4Ever]

Ewers is the real GM of the Dolphins

They must have an area scout with a lot of stroke!

We're a farm team for Denver and Miami.
