Here's what the draft guy on my Longhorns forum posted today in a column about the Longhorns likely to be drafted. On a side note, Ryan Watts is probably a CB we should have on the radar for a late round pick. Big bodied corner who excels in press coverage. Will probably run in the 4.5-4.55 range that Watson ran in when we drafted him. I try not wear my homer glasses here when it comes to Texas, but we do have a fair amount of guys this year who would fit what we're trying to do both defensively and offensively this year.
Xavier Worthy:
Projection: 2nd RD
He’ll crush speed and agility numbers and will receive high marks for his work ethic and toughness relative to his size. His hands, ball-tracking, and ball skills will hurt his draft stock. There aren’t a ton of heavily contested catches, or receptions when he climbs the ladder on his tape.
I think Worthy will go in the second round but there’s an outside shot he goes in the first because of his elite ability to create separation.
I see him more as a WR2.
Adonai Mitchell:
Projection: 1st or 2nd RD
I could see Mitchell going anywhere from 25-45. I’ll be curious to see how he runs but for a taller player he sure has a knack for winning deep. He has the traits to become a quality intermeidate route runner. We know he has a big catch radius.
His best ball will be played in the NFL. Mitchell has a high ceiling to go with already good production. He could develop into a legit WR1.
