If you buy in to what NFL draft experts are telling us and the overkill of fun but meaningless mock drafts that have been all over the social media landscape since the first of the year, Oklahoma should have at least one and perhaps two players selected in the first round on Thursday. By the time the seventh and final round is completed on Saturday afternoon, my guess is that as many as five or six former Sooners will receive a welcoming “We want you” call from one of the 32 NFL teams.
There is little question that wide-receiver CeeDee Lamb will be the first Oklahoma player whose name will come off the virtual 2020 draft board.
