U40: Looking at NFL Draft futures for OU football's roster

U40: Looking at NFL Draft futures for OU football's roster

Author: SoonerScoop.com April 22, 2026 Duration: 1:29:06
George's X account has been hacked and it was probably his fault. But the gang is here and we're talking about the NFL Draft and where we could see OU's best getting drafted. We also take a look at future draft picks on the current OU roster and we have a spirited debate whether Jayden Jackson or David Stone will go higher in the draft one of these days. We're also buying stock at a Nancy Pelosi pace when it comes to Danny Okoye. We're also wondering why the national love for Oklahoma in 2026 seems to be missing. Are we just terrible homers? Or is everyone seeing it wrong? We talk future schedule and opponent spring game takeaways. Basketball prices seem to be going bonkers in the NIL space. That certainly seems to be affecting Porter Moser's chase for talent. We also talk a little recruiting as we're all fighting to stay awake with late night NBA games keeping us up late.
