Texas Football: Who Is Replacing Every Former Longhorn Taken in 2015 NFL Draft?

The Texas Longhorns had five players selected in the 2015 NFL draft, their most since 2010. Per SB Nation's Jason Kirk, that figure also tied them for the sixth-most selections of any college program.

On the flip side of that coin, the Horns now have to replace five pro-level talents, most of whom had unique and essential roles on the team. First-rounder Malcom Brown will be the toughest to replace, though his fellow selections each had key roles as well.

As the Horns cycle in a big crop of young talent, their ability to plug guys into multiple roles diminishes.
