FBJ's got some opinions and a sleeper in the NFL draft, so here you go...
Duke Robinson, OG (Offensive Guard not Over Gold)- Earned the nickname of Duke "the killer" Robinson during his tenure at Oklahoma for his propensity to make several bad decisions on the same drive. His size is great and you barely have to break out the sun dial for his 40 time (5.27). Project that he goes very late 1st round or 1st 5 in the 2nd round.
Phil Loadholt, OT - The Round Mound of put down depending on what game film you watch. On the good side, he's huge and you have to into a different area code to get around him. His 5.45 wears the sun dial out. Solid 2nd round pick.
Juaquin "After Midnight" Iglesias, WR - Has had a private work out wit da bears which for some reason seems to be a magnet for Oklahoma players. Scouts are saying he's a big tough receiver who gets open by great route technique. Solid 2nd round pick.
Nic Harris, S - Nic Harris demonstrated that he can man up and cover or take someone's head off. Whoever gets him is going to be pleased with the pick. Some people call his play overly aggressive for a safety and I don't think that's bad. There's been talk that he might be a good linebacker convert. His size hurts him for safety at the next level. He's a solid 2nd round pick in my book but might fall to the third because unimaginitive GMs can't put him in one of their boxes.
Daniel Holtzclaw, LB, E Mich - Enid, Oklahoma's favorite son is a huge sleeper in this draft. He's bigger than Laurinaitis, faster than Maualuga and Benched 10 more reps than both of them. Unfortunately Holtzclaw was not invited to the made for TV event called the NFL combine. During his career, Holtzclaw had 60 more tackles than Laurinaitis and almost 200 more than Maualuga. He finished her career 11th in career tackles in NCAA history. NEVER missed a game. Drawbacks are that they say he didn't play the best competition. My opinion is that he's easily top 10 and probably top 5 linebackers on the board. Most likely will go 5th or 6th round but will see playing time and meaningful contribution faster than most of the day 1 guys. For more, go here.

What about Branden Pettigrew, David Johnson and Brennan Marion?

Thanks for keeping me honest. I usually focus on THE University of Oklahoma but added Holtzclaw. Pettigrew is a solid top 15 pick. I see Marion as being on the bubble. He'll get a contract, but I don't think he will be drafted. Some scouts have him ranked around the 50th WR on the board. Johnson is another guy who's on the bubble. While the QB class isn't deep, he's not projected to be in the top 15 and that's probably the number that will get called this weekend.
