    There were two major surprises and one pleasant one on Friday.
    First, T’Vondre was selected early on by the Tennessee Titans. The consensus view of Sweat slipping out of the early rounds apparently wasn’t one the Titans subscribed to despite Sweat’s DUI arrest two weeks ago.
    Second, Adonai Mitchell slid all the way to no. 52, likely largely on reports that Mitchell was difficult in practice at both Georgia and Texas. Mitchell will now head to Indianapolis where he’ll get a fresh start.
    And then the pleasant one… Jonathon Brooks became the second consecutive Longhorn to be selected the first running back in the NFL draft. He’s heading to Carolina.
    **
    Anyone who thought Texas lost to a lesser talented Washington team needs to think twice, particularly on offense.
    Through the first three rounds, UW has had its QB, three wide receivers and both offensive tackles already taken.
    **
    Michigan currently leads with a total of seven players selected in the first. Texas sits at five thus far.
    The Wolverines might have as many as 13 players selected by the end of today. That’s even heavier attrition than Texas is likely to see.
    JT Sanders, Christian Jones and Jaylan Ford will all almost assuredly be drafted, which will give the Horns eight picks total for comparison.
    **
    Good luck to Jordan Whittington, Ryan Watts and Keilan Robinson today. Many think they are all on the fringe of being draft picks.

    The 2024 NFL Draft will begin at 7 p.m. central tonight with the first round taking place. The second through seventh round will take place Friday and Saturday.
    The Longhorns are expected to set a program record for a seven round draft with eight to ten selections. The 2007 NFL Draft produced seven selections - Michael Griffin, Aaron Ross, Justin Blalock, Tim Crowder, Brian Robinson, Tarell Brown and Kasey Studdard.
    The most players ever selected in the first seven rounds in program history was in 1984 with 10 (17 total in 12 round draft). Nine players were drafted in the first seven rounds of the 1982 draft with 12 total in the 12 rounds. 
    Texas players in the 2024 NFL Draft
    Byron Murphy, DL - 1st round lock 
    Xavier Worthy, WR - 1st or 2nd round
    Adonai Mitchell, WR - 1st or 2nd round
    Jonathon Brooks, RB - 2nd or 3rd round
    Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE - 3rd or 4th round
    T'Vondre Sweat, DL - 3rd or 4th round
    Christian Jones, OL - 4th or 5th round
    Jaylan Ford, LB - 5th or 6th round
    Ryan Watts, DB - 6th, 7th or UDFA

    Jordan Whittington, WR - 7th or UDFA
    Ryan Sanborn, P - UDFA

    Oregon State transfer PG Jordan Pope commits to Texas
    The Texas Longhorns added a huge piece to 2024-25 team this afternoon.
    Oregon State transfer PG/CG Jordan Pope committed to Texas over Texas A&M ten minutes ago. 
    With Pope in the fold, the Longhorns will have constructed a back court that is versatile, multiple ball handlers, multiple shooters from three, size to play big, athleticism, depth and very good offensive feel. The Longhorns will have a deeper and bigger backcourt in 2024-25. 
    Jordan Pope by the numbers
    Pope (6-1.5, 170) averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game over 64 games (63 starts) in two seasons. He connected on 43.9% from the field, 37.4% from three and 86.1% from the foul line. He starred as a sophomore averaging 17.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 2023-24. That included 45.1% from the field, 37.1% from three (66 makes) and 87.9% from the free throw line (94 of 107). 
    Pope scored 20 or more in 12 games during the 2023-24 season. He scored a season high 31, including a game winner, against Arizona. 
    His numbers in Pac-12 play included 17.9 points per game with 41 made three's.
