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.

    Not a first rounder

    AD Mitchell isn’t a first rounder?

    Buffalo just screwed AD Mitchell by moving down. They will pick him 1st player 2nd round. Disappointing for this kid. 

    Yeah they did, hopefully they’ll put that money they’ll save on him towards getting those last few pieces to win a SB! Pretty cool though that he and X might be playing on such great teams!! Hook’em!!

    Second NFL contract is looked at as the pay day by players. Now AD will get to that contract quicker. No 5th year option on second round picks.

    Rakestraw was a miss looking back. Think we just passed on him at the very end right?

     

     

    He passed on us and went with the first big time team that was on him before he blew up.

    You will never see him score a touchdown. Camera goes elsewhere. 

    Well, just watch the redzone channel, they'll show it.

    Yep. I remember thinking he would be a stud but he stuck with Mizzou in the end

    @Bobby Burton @Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel was there any truth to the AD being a pain in the ass stuff? Feel like we didn’t hear any of this during the season but could that be why he slid? 

    Not sure he slid, Buff. always was the team that wanted him.  The move by Buff to move down one spot to the 2nd round was a dick move IMO. Unless they talked with his agent and will still pay him 1st round money, just sucks on their part.
