The NFL Draft season is now in full swing with the National Championship all wrapped up and players partaking in the postseason bowls, mock drafts will run rampant. The Texas Longhorns have a few players that could find their way to rosters during the first 120 draft selections.
Luke Easterling of Draft Wire provided his latest mock draft following the end of the college football season with two Texas Longhorns being selected. This mock is his deepest of the year with four rounds projected.
Round 3, Pick 85: Brandon Jones, Safety
Brandon Jones is projected here to the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round. The Eagles need help in their secondary considering how they were gutted by injuries throughout the season. Malcolm Jenkins is heading into his 11th season in 2020, Jones makes sense as depth and eventual starter for Philly.
Round 4, Pick 113: Collin Johnson, Wide Receiver
The Dallas Cowboys could very well use pick in the first four rounds on wide receiver, Collin Johnson makes sense for a team in need a receiver that can be a weapon in the red zone. Johnson’s size and length can be an advantage for a team who struggled with drops, his catch radius is huge. Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb are both free agents and not much depth behind Michael Gallup.
