Oklahoma Sooners shut out of first round in USA TODAY Sports mock draft

No Oklahoma Sooners were selected in a recent USA TODAY Sports mock draft.

If there’s going to be one Oklahoma Soone r who hears his name called on day one of the NFL Draft, it’s probably going to be offensive tackle Anton Harrison. However, in this mock draft from Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY, not one Sooner is projected to be selected in the first round.

The first Big 12 player taken in this mock was Tyree Wilson of Texas Tech. Middlehurst-Schwartz has him taken at fifth overall to the Seattle Seahawks. TCU’s Quentin Johnson and Texas’ Bijan Robinson were the only other players from Big 12 schools present in this mock draft.

Three offensive tackles are mocked to be selected in this mock draft, with Paris Johnson Jr. of Ohio State being the first from the position to be taken. Peter Skoronski of Northwestern and Broderick Jones of Georgia were the other two tackles taken in this mock.

Harrison could very well fall through the entire first round, or he could end up being selected between 10-20. This offensive tackle class lacks a true top dog, but has several very good options.

Sooners fans might have to wait until day two to hear one of their players’ names called.
