Cowboy fans waited until the third day to see an OSU player selected in this year’s NFL Draft — when Justice Hill was taken in Round 4 by Baltimore — but had to wait until the very end of that third day to see the second one chosen.
Jordan Brailford, OSU’s sack leading from 2018, was taken with the 253rd overall pick in the seventh round by the Washington Redskins. It was the draft’s penultimate pick, one slot away from being tabbed “Mr. Irrelevant.”
Washington ranked 15th in the NFL in team defense in 2018 and 15th in passing defense, but was 28th in sack percentage.
