Texas A&M football is on the verge of a historic NFL Draft, as the Aggies are closing in on a record number of selections over the next few days. Texas A&M will no doubt be one of the stories of the weekend, with as many as fourteen potentially draftable players.
But where will everyone end up for the Aggies? With the first round of the draft kicking off tomorrow night, we take some time to predict where every Aggie will land in the draft and their fit.
Predicting where every Texas A&M player will be selected in upcoming NFL Draft
Cashius Howell, EDGE: Rd 1, Pick 20 to the Dallas Cowboys
Why not? If the Cowboys end up shying away from the much-rumored trade up and keep the 12th and 20th selections, Howell could bring the pass-rush juice that they've been missing ever since Micah Parsons left. The reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year could make an instant impact for the Cowboys.
KC Concepcion, WR: Rd. 1, Pick 21 to the Pittsburgh Steelers
There's been a good bit of smoke around KC to the Steelers as of late, and I think we see this one made official tomorrow night. Some have made much of a few drops from KC this past season, but he's been one of the more surehanded receivers we've seen in the Maroon and White in years— I think GMs will see through those concerns, and Pittsburgh will add one of the most dynamic weapons in the draft in this first round.
Chase Bisontis, OL: Rd. 1, Pick 28 to the Houston Texans
Bisontis has been floating around the late first to early second round for some time, but his upside will have some GMs enchanted. I think we see the Texans go for a guy with whom they are very familiar with this addition late in the first.
Tyler Onyedim, DT: Rd. 3, Pick 65 to the Arizona Cardinals
Onyedim has been a name that has sneakily snuck up draft boards without many people paying notice. The DT for the Aggies had a really solid season and brings both strength against the run and a quick first step that translates into interior pressure in a flash. The Cardinals are in need of defensive line help, so they could be eager to bolster that position early in the third round.
Trey Zuhn, OL: Rd. 3, Pick 74 to the Kansas City Chiefs
Zuhn is another guy whose draft stock is a little bit higher than many are giving him credit for. There is not a better pass blocker in this draft, and he's held up against some of the best both at tackle and center. The positional versatility there will make him a huge value add for a Chiefs team that needs to do everything they can to protect Patrick Mahomes.
Will Lee, CB: Rd. 3, Pick 98 to the Philadelphia Eagles
There has been plenty of smoke around Lee to Philadelphia already, with some mock drafts slotting him at this exact spot. The Eagles would be getting a very athletic corner who can play well in man coverage to add to their defense. Lee would not have an easy path to start, but he's good enough to get some minutes up in Philly.
Dametrious Crownover, OL: Rd. 3, Pick 100 to the Jacksonville Jaguars
Crownover has blossomed into an excellent offensive tackle through five seasons in Aggieland. He has size you can't teach and still hasn't come close to his ceiling, so this is a high-value pick for the Jaguars in round three. He'll develop into a starter as he continues to grow.
Albert Regis, DL: Rd. 4, Pick 112 to the Dallas Cowboys
Why not a defensive line reunion up in Big D? Regis is the run-stuffer that the Cowboys desperately need along their defensive line, and they can get great value by picking him up at this point in the fourth. He'll be a guy who slots into their rotation right away as they do whatever they can to improve their rush defense.
Nate Boerkircher, TE: Rd. 4, Pick 118 to the Detroit Lions
This is the absolutely perfect vibes fit, if nothing else. Dan Campbell knows better than most how well Boerkircher can fit into the culture up in Detroit, and though Sam LaPorta is the top dog at the position for the Lions, Boerkircher will add another plus blocker and pass-catcher at the position in the mid rounds. This isn't, strictly speaking, a positional need for the Lions, but it makes too much sense otherwise.
Le'Veon Moss, RB: Rd. 5, Pick 180 to the Dallas Cowboys
Another Aggie in the silver and blue? We all know Jerry Jones's weakness for big names at running back, and though Moss is no Jeremiyah Love (at least as far as PR goes), if he can stay healthy, he will be a household name before long. Moss can add a great option for the Cowboys to complement Javonte Williams, and they'll get him on the cheap right at the end of the fifth round.
Taurean York, LB: Rd. 6, Pick 212 to the New England Patriots
This is an interesting one, but I think we could see York land with a team like the Pats in the late rounds. He just has too much to commend him from a production standpoint, even if his measurables aren't what many fans consider ideal. He's also a hard worker that would fit in with the culture in New England quite well.
Ar'maj Reed-Adams: Rd. 6, Pick 213 to the Detroit Lions
Reed-Adams can provide a high level of toughness and physicality on the inside of the offensive line for the Lions. He was projected as a possible first-rounder in the preseason for a reason, and he can capitalize even on a late-round pickup to make some noise up in Detroit.
Scooby Williams: Rd. 7, Pick 245 to the Jacksonville Jaguars
It's so hard to predict the final rounds, as it's predicated on how things play out in the previous few rounds and how GMs feel in general about a few key prospects. Scooby is not a name looming large on many draft boards, but his athleticism will be hard for every single team to pass by late in the draft. I see him getting picked up late in the game like this.
