Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted April 27 Moderators Share Posted April 27 Texas Longhorns and the 2025 NFL Draft A few Texas Longhorns will continue to hear their name called today in the fourth through seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft. In the day or two following the conclusion of the 2024 draft, the way-too-early 2025 mock drafts will begin being published. Before those start hitting the internet, I'm providing a list of where I think the 2025 draft eligible Longhorns start ahead of the 2024 season. 2025 NFL Draft projections Quinn Ewers, QB, senior - 1st round (12-15) Kelvin Banks, OT, junior - 1st round (10-20) Isaiah Bond, WR, junior - 2nd or 3rd round Trey Moore, LB/EDGE, junior - 3rd or 4th Amari Niblack, TE, junior - 3rd or 4th round Alfred Collins, DL, senior - 3rd or 4th round Andrew Mukuba, S, senior - 4th or 5th round Jahdae Barron, N, senior - 4th to 6th round Gunnar Helm, TE, senior - 4th to 6th Barryn Sorrell, EDGE, senior - 5th to 7th Jake Majors, C, senior - late/UDFA Tia Savea, DL, senior - UDFA Bill Norton, DL, senior - UDFA Silas Bolden, WR, senior - UDFA Bert Auburn, K, senior - UDFA Will the 2026 NFL Draft be the best yet for Texas?

Thailand T Sip Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Gerry, in your opinion, who are the ones most likely to pull a Murphy or Sweat & greatly improve their draft stock? For example, A Collins, J. Major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted April 27 Author Moderators Share Posted April 27 And for the record, literally zero chance Arch starts one season and goes to the NFL Draft. Not the way the Manning family attacks football and development. He will be a 2027 or even 2028 NFL Draft guy. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted April 27 Author Moderators Share Posted April 27 I know one of the topics this spring was could Jaydon Blue ascend and jump to the NFL ... a guy always can, but the sophomore RB class in college football that will be draft eligible has some serious talent and production... Quinshon Judkins - Ole Miss now Ohio State Ollie Gordon - OkState Omarion Hampton - UNC Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen - Penn State Jaydn Ott - California Damien Martinez - Oregon State transfer Trevor Etienne - Florida now at Georgia etc... That's after your guys like Teyveon Henderson, etc... that are older Going to be a much deeper RB draft in 2025 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'm missing a team or two A lot of variables that will play into it. Will be fun to follow It's a really good draft to be Carson Beck, Riley Leonard or Quinn Ewers. Someone will jump into the top 2-3 that isn't being talked about too IMO. Jaxson Dart? Or Drew Allar? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I thinks it's Beck or Ewers to be QB1 and what's really cool is they play each other in Austin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas fan in Georgia Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) 247 dropped theirs last night and had Kelvin banks #3 overall to New England and Quinn #9 overall to Seattle. Also had bond at #25 to Green Bay *EDIT: they also had sheduer sanders and jalen Milroe ahead of Quinn, but had Quinn ahead of Carson Beck Edited April 27 by Texas fan in Georgia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasDeathStar Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 With next years QB class looking somewhat shallow as far as top end talent compared to this years, and with the way the season unfolds. We might see several non-qb’s picked before the QB run starts next draft, which hasn’t been the case recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenneseehorn08 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Obviously, Kelvin Banks going in first round is impressive regardless. Curious why people seem to have dropped him from a likely top 5 pick after freshman year though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyG Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 If one or all of Ethan Burke, Cam Williams or DJ Campbell have a great season and receive a first (or even second) round grade - do you see them leaving school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could factor into to where QB's get picked Jaydon Blue’s highlight and yards per play will be elite, and when he run a 4.37 at the combine it’s a wrap. Ask CJ, I predicted the J. Brooks leap and gone after 1 season. Trevon Henderson should have been the #1 RB drafted this season based on high school pedigree and what he look like his freshman season. They doing 👀 something up there in Austin and bring a different mindset and work ethic. Sark different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
