Texas A&M Football: Teams that could take Christian Kirk in Round 2 of the NFL Draft
By Jeff Shull
Texas A&M football saw their streak of consecutive first round NFL Draft picks come to an end at seven; where will Christian Kirk go on day two?
The only hope Texas A&M had of extending its impressive first round streak was Christian Kirk, and the night came and went and Kirk is still waiting for his name to be called. It ended the Aggies’ ridiculous stretch of seven straight years with a first-round pick in the NFL Draft.
The 2018 NFL Draft class of wide receivers is not great. Only two heard their name called and both were at the end of the night. DJ Moore went 24th to the Carolina Panthers, and in kind of a cool move the Atlanta Falcons took Calvin Ridley to join fellow former Tide wide receivier Julio Jones.
Most NFL draft experts had those two guys and Courtland Sutton rated in the top three in some order. It makes sense. All three are bigger wide receivers who could be sure-fire No. 1 guys. Kirk typically fell in behind those guys and would be better suited to join a team looking for a weapon for the slot.
So, after the entire first round passed on the next great slot receiver, which teams could draft him in round two? Here’s a look at some of them, in order of the pick they have in the second round.
