AS I SAID, Texas may be slightly worse than others but not to a degree that warrants your dissmissive attitude toward EVERY player.
You plan on discounting Kindle as well?
The fact is... big programs get big hype... lots of players fall flat from all sorts of places... USC included.

There were more Texas players, and all but DJ were top 7 picks. Everyone you list there, save Bush, were taken later. Texas players, especially their high picks, fail at a much higher rate than players from other schools. LSU, Florida, OSU, Oklahoma, etc.
You can't equate a #29 pick busting to a #7 pick busting.
