Teven Jenkins Leads 21 Big 12 Players in 7-Round Mock Draft
Oklahoma State offensive tackle Teven Jenkins was the only Big 12 player to come up in Dane Brugler’s 7-round NFL Mock Draft, published at The Athletic.
In all, 21 Big 12 players went in Brugler’s only seven-round mock, in which he attempted to project every selection in the draft, which starts Thursday in Cleveland.
Teven Jenkins has been widely projected as a first-round pick, and in this mock Brugler has him going to Chicago at No. 20 overall. Brugler’s pick comes with a caveat, as he expects the Bears to try and move up to get a quarterback. If the Bears fail, Brugler writes, ‘Jenkins is a natural on the right side with his unique power and competitive demeanor.’
Some other interesting Big 12 notes from the mock:
Nine of the 10 Big 12 teams are represented. Kansas was the only school without a selection.
Texas had the most players selected with five. Oklahoma followed with four. All of the Sooners’ selections were made by the fifth round, while Texas had two players taken in the seventh round.
The Philadelphia Eagles, in Brugler’s mock, selected a trio of Big 12 players — Oklahoma center Creed Humphrey, Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger, and West Virginia linebacker Tony Fields II.
By taking Ehlinger, the Eagles would theoretically make him one of the backups to projected starter Jalen Hurts, who played his final season of college football at Oklahoma.
By Arizona taking Sooners running back Rhamondre Stevenson, the Cardinals would pair him with former Sooners quarterback Kyler Murray.
The Atlanta Falcons also came away with three Big 12 players — Sooners edge Ronnie Perkins, TCU linebacker Garret Wallow, and West Virginia defensive tackle Darius Stills.
Brugler mocked two Longhorns to the Los Angeles Chargers — offensive tackle Sam Cosmi and safety Caden Stearns.
Texas defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham was one selection from being the draft’s final selection, or ‘Mr. Irrelevant.’
