2019 NFL Draft: Predicting every former Longhorn drafted
Were going to take this list in order of the players most likely to fall in the early rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft, and then work back from there. The first off the board for the Longhorns should be the reigning Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year and team sack leader, defensive end Charles Omenihu.
The chronicle of the 2019 NFL Draft for a handful of former Longhorns could be a lengthy waiting game. Day two and day three are going to be the main points of this draft for the Longhorns. If only Texas had a handful of players with high draft stock at the beginning of the year show out. Instead, an unheralded 2019 NFL Draft prospect like Omenihu came to the forefront.
We’re going to go with Omenihu in the early part of the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He already missed out on the opportunity for some NFL team to take a flier out on him late in the first round. His momentum skyrocketing up draft boards also stopped about a month or two after the Senior Bowl, which is where his stock rose in the first place.
