Bulk of OU prospects might go in 2nd or 3rd round
The bulk of Oklahoma’s draft prospects might be taken in the second or third day of the 2017 NFL Draft. Here’s a look at their projections:
SAMAJE PERINE, RB
•Measurements: 5-foot-11,
233-pounds
•What they’re saying: “Perine is capable of handling a full workload, but he is probably best suited in a role as a power back paired with a more dynamic player to handle part of the workload and passing situations.” — Pro Football Focus
•Our projected round: 3rd
DEDE WESTBROOK, WR
•Measurements: 6-foot,
178-pounds
•What they’re saying: “He is a fast receiver with good hands, but is very thin of frame. If Westbrook could add weight while maintaining his speed, that could help his draft stock and his transition to the pro game.” — Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com
•Our projected round: 3rd
CHARLES WALKER, DT
•What they’re saying: “Very difficult to evaluate where he stands right now. You can’t build any real consensus. All I can go by is what you see when you put him on tape and watch the kid. He flashes early round ability.” - Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN
•Our projected round: 4th
JORDAN EVANS, LB
•Measurements: 6-2,
233-pounds
•What they’re saying: “While he is worth an early day three pick because coverage linebackers are so critical in today’s game, if he doesn’t play with more all-around consistency and competitiveness he is not likely to reach his full potential.” — Pro Football Focus
•Our projected round: 5th
