Sooners in the draft
OU players who could be drafted in Saturday and Sunday’s NFL Draft:
Jon Cooper
Center, 6-2, 291
→The skinny: Cooper has put on a ton of weight since January, diminishing his primary negative: size. Teams will love his work ethic, technique and leadership, even if he is undersized.
→Draft projection: Sixth round
→Possible destinations: Buffalo, Cincinnati, Denver, Indianapolis, New England
Nic Harris
Safety/linebacker, 6-2, 234
→The skinny: Harris may not have a true position in the NFL, and a slow 4.85 time in the 40 didn’t help.
→Draft projection: Fifth round
→Possible destinations: Cleveland, Green Bay, Kansas City, New Orleans, Philadelphia
Lendy Holmes
Safety, 6-0, 206
→The skinny: Holmes’ lack of speed (4.65) appears to have dropped his value dramatically; ESPN’s Todd McShay predicts Holmes will be the last player taken in the entire draft.
→Draft projection: Seventh round
→Possible destinations: Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Seattle
Juaquin Iglesias
Wide receiver, 6-1, 204
→The skinny: Iglesias doesn’t possess top-end speed, but his production in college won’t be overlooked.
→Draft projection: Third round
→Possible destinations: Baltimore, Dallas, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, St. Louis
Manny Johnson
Wide receiver, 5-11, 189
→The skinny: A hamstring injury has prevented him from working out in front of scouts; that probably leaves him undrafted, though he could be a priority free-agent pickup.
→Draft projection: Free agent
→Possible destinations: Cleveland, Dallas, Jacksonville, Oakland, Philadelphia
Phil Loadholt
Offensive tackle, 6-8, 332
→The skinny: His size is attractive, but it’s his potential as a dominant run blocker that will win over teams that lean on the power running game.
→Draft projection: Second round
→Possible destinations: Baltimore, Chicago, Minnesota, Oakland, Pittsburgh
Duke Robinson
Offensive guard, 6-5, 329
→The skinny: A mauler in the run game, Robinson will also be scooped up by someone interested in augmenting their power run attack.
→Draft projection: Third round
→Possible destinations: Atlanta, Buffalo, Dallas, Pittsburgh, San Diego
Brandon Walker
Offensive guard, 6-3, 306
→The skinny: Often overlooked by playing alongside Cooper, Loadholt and Robinson, Walker still was a productive player in college and that could catch someone’s attention.
→Draft projection: Free agent
→Possible destinations: Detroit, Kansas City, Miami, Seattle, Washington
