The 2019 NFL Draft didn’t pan out the way many Texas Longhorns fans likely anticipated.
Expectations were high after a 10-win season and a New year’s Six Bowl victory. But in the end, the draft proved to be more of an indication of the coaching on the Forty Acres, getting the most out of players that are, apparently, fringe NFL talents.
With Charles Omenihu, the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year, receiving non-stop praise throughout the Reese’s Senior Bowl and a total of five Longhorns, which included the rising prospect that was Omenihu, invited to the NFL Combine, watching only two Texas players taken in the draft — and not until rounds five and seven — was somewhat of a letdown.
