Chris Flanagan on why Texas fans should watch the NFL draft.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

Absolutely correct!

Texas needs as much good exposure as they can get, even if it is from a player who played at Louisville.

The one thing being lost in all of the buzz about Bedford's twitter comments is that it brought Texas back to the forefront of the sports headlines WITHOUT it being from a player arrest or something negative like that.

We need to take what we can get right now in regards to exposure.

Bridgewater sneaks in at the end of the round, plus 2 additional Louisville players selected in the 1st round. Strong's ex-team had a good night.

Tonight was about as good as Texas fans could hope for.

Agreed.  Strong's coaching prowess showed extremely well tonight with his former players.

coach strong, should indeed be proud of his former players.  not one TEXAS player drafted within the first round.. simply pathetic!

When the dust finally settled, Texas A&M was the only other program in America with as many first round selections as Louisville. Not a bad little evening for a Cardinal football program which hadn't had a player selected in the first or second round since 2009, and which had seen a total of just four players drafted between 2010-2013.
