Good. He'll bust like all Texas defenders anyway.
Of the 22 draft picks from UT since 2006, 13 of the players have been solid values at where they were picked. Compare that to the supposed “goal standard” University of Miami, and 10 of 18 players taken since 2006 are solid value picks.
Texas Longhorn Draft since 2006
2009 1 13 Brian Orakpo DE Washington Commanders – 11 sacks good pick
2009 3 81 Roy Miller DT Tampa Bay Buccaneers – played in 15 games, getting 1 start. Totaled 2 sacks. I would call that solid value for a 3rd round selection
2009 4 105 Henry Melton DE Chicago Bears – Didn’t play last year, will call that a bad selection for now
2009 7 211 Chris Ogbonnaya RB St. Louis Rams – played in 2 games, getting 11 carries for 50 yards. Sounds like good production from a 7th round DP.
2008 2 53 Limas Sweed WR Pittsburgh Steelers – Has yet to do much, poor choice
2008 3 73 Jamaal Charles RB Kansas City Chiefs – Over 1,100 yards, and 7 TD’s last year. Not bad production for a 3rd round DP.
2008 3 91 Jermichael Finley TE Green Bay Packers – A beast for Green Bay last year. Great pick in the 3rd round.
2008 4 130 Tony Hills T Pittsburgh Steelers – Second team LT, but has yet to play. Questionable pick in the 4th round.
2008 5 151 Frank Okam DT Houston Texans – Has yet to produce in 2 years, poor pick
2007 1 19 Michael Griffin FS Tennessee Titans – A Pro Bowl FS, enough said
2007 1 20 Aaron Ross CB New York Giants – Probably the Giants best CB, enough said
2007 2 39 Justin Blalock G Atlanta Falcons – Started every game the last 2 years for the Falcons. Nice pick in the second round.
2007 2 56 Tim Crowder DE Denver Broncos – Been a solid player in the league, but not 2nd round quality
2007 4 102 Brian Robison DE Minnesota Vikings – Been a solid backup DE for the Vikings for 4 years. Not bad value in the 4th round.
2007 5 147 Tarell Brown CB San Francisco 49ers – Got 4 starts and played in 16 games last year after playing in 15 games in 2008. Solid value in the 5th round.
2007 6 183 Kasey Studdard G Houston Texans – Started 14 games for the Houston Texans last year. Great value in the 6th round.
2006 1 3 Vince Young QB Tennessee Titans – Enough said, poor pick
2006 1 7 Michael Huff SS Oakland Raiders – Enough said poor pick
2006 2 48 Cedric Griffin CB Minnesota Vikings – One of the Vikings best CB’s. Good pick in the second round.
2006 3 86 David Thomas TE New England Patriots – Solid backup TE for several teams. Decent value in the 3rd round.

2006 7 226 Rodrique Wright DT Miami Dolphins – Has not done much, poor pick
Miami Hurricane draft since 2006
2009 6 176 Spencer Adkins LB Atlanta Falcons – Played in 5 games, and is a 6th round pick, decent value

2008 3 71 Tavares Gooden OLB Baltimore Ravens – Started 12 games, but had 12 tackles, but 3rd round solid value

2007 1 25 Jon Beason MLB Carolina Panthers – A beast, great pick
2007 1 31 Greg Olsen TE Chicago Bears – Bears best TE and receiver, good pick

2007 4 127 Kareem Brown DT New England Patriots – Has played in 1 game, poor value
