The NFL Draft's green room has been quite unfamiliar with Northwestern as of late. In fact, the program hasn't seen a player drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2005, when former Northwestern defensive end Luis Castillo, who admitted to using a performance-enhancing steroid in preparation for the draft, was selected 28th overall by the San Diego Chargers.
Since then, even die-hard Northwestern fans have had reason to snooze through the first round. But a mock draft posted on Rotoworld Thursday has Anthony Walker as a first-round selection, going 18th overall to the Houston Texans.
