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.

    Murphy was the real prize, not Shemar Stewart ultimately. I'm enjoying this start to a run of 1st round picks. When's the last time we had back to back first rounders?

    Is this the draft that tells the world that the only function of defense in the NFL is not to get penalized?  Offense is everything, and defense is just a supporting role that needs to not interfere with offense?

    I mean, damn.  Six Qbs in the top 12.  Fourteen offensive players before any defensive players.

    F it.  Maybe the NFL should just run plays against non-existent defenses for style points.

    I don’t know what you’re smoking, But that’s a perfect situation for Xavier. Established  generational talent at QB, THE best offensive play caller in the league and they like to go deep.
