Round 1
Pick 21 (21)
Jalen Reagor
WR TCU 5-10 206 LBS
Jalen is the son of former Texas Tech star and eight-year NFL veteran Montae Reagor. His father was a stud defensive lineman but the younger Reagor is an electric receiver. The four-star recruit from Waxahachie, Texas, announced himself as a playmaker in 2017, winning Big 12 Co-Offensive Freshman of the Year and leading the Horned Frogs with 33 receptions, 576 receiving yards (17.5 per), and eight touchdowns in 14 games (two starts). He also earned some carries (eight rushes, 65 yards, 8.1 ypc) and returned kicks (four returns, 122 yards, 30.5 average). Reagor was a second-team All-Big 12 selection and TCU's MVP in 2018, starting 11 of 13 games played and leading his squad in receiving (72 receptions, 1,061 yards, 14.7 average, nine touchdowns) while contributing as a rusher (13 carries, 170 yards, 13.1 ypc, two touchdowns) and returner (12 kick returns, 312 yards, 26.0 average; eight punt returns, 97 yards, 12.1 average). He was a second-team all-conference selection as a receiver (led team with 43 receptions, 611 yards, 14.2 average, five touchdowns in 12 starts) and return specialist (five kick returns, 72 yards, 14.4 average; 15 punt returns, 312 yards, 20.8 average, two touchdowns) in 2019.
Round 2
Pick 21 (53)
Hurts, a Houston native, was rated the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the country after starring at Channelview High School, where his father served as head coach. He signed with Alabama and led the Tide to the national championship game, starting 14 games and earning Freshman All-American, first-team All-SEC, SEC Freshman of the Year, and Maxwell Award finalist honors (204 of 382, 62.8 completion percentage, 2,780 yards, 23 touchdowns, nine interceptions; set a school record for a quarterback with 954 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns). He started all 14 games for head coach Nick Saban in 2017, again leading the team to the national championship game (154 of 255, 60.4 completion percentage, 2,081 yards, 17 touchdowns, one interception; 154 carries, 855 yards, 5.6 ypc, eight touchdowns). He was replaced by freshman Tua Tagovailoa in the second half of the team's title game victory over Clemson, however. In 2018, Tua took the starting job from Hurts, who played in 13 games as a reserve (51 of 70, 72.9 completion percentage, 765 yards, eight touchdowns, two interceptions; 36 rushes, 167 yards, 4.6 ypc, two touchdowns) but turned the tables when Tagovailoa was injured in the fourth quarter of the 2018 SEC Championship Game, leading the Tide to a comeback win (7 of 9, 82 yards, passing touchdown, rushing touchdown). Hurts decided to transfer from Alabama to Oklahoma as a graduate student for 2019 and interestingly, has the same birth date (Aug. 7) as the quarterback that he replaced at OU, Kyler Murray. He did not disappoint during his lone year in Norman, leading the team to Big 12 title and playoff appearances while garnering third-team Associated Press All-American Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year, and first-team all-conference honors. Hurts was also named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, and Davey O'Brien Award after ranking second to Heisman winner Joe Burrow in passing efficiency by completing 69.7 percent of his passes (237 of 340) for 3,851 yards and 32 touchdowns with eight interceptions in 14 starts. He also led the Sooners in rushing with 1,298 yards (233 carries, 5.6 per) while running for 20 touchdowns, which ranked in the top 10 nationally, and caught two passes for 25 yards (12.5 per) and a score.
Round 3
Pick 39 (103)
Davion Taylor
LB Colorado 6-0 228 LBS
Compensatory Selection
Taylor had an unusual path to Pac-12 football. Growing up in Magnolia, Mississippi, he played football throughout high school but was not allowed to play in games on Friday or Saturday night as his family observed the Seventh-day Adventist Sabbath. Taylor was also a state champion sprinter and triple jumper, though he missed the state meet his junior year because it was on a Saturday. When Davion turned 18, he received his mother's blessings to change his observance to play college football. He nearly didn't make the team at Coahoma Community College but wound up becoming a starter during his freshman year. Taylor was rated a four-star junior college recruit after his second year at Coahoma, and Colorado snatched him up. He started 10 of 12 games played in 2018 (52 tackles, nine for loss, one sack, three pass breakups). Taylor also started 10 of 12 games played as a senior, garnering honorable mention All-Pac-12 notice by posting 69 stops, 8.5 for loss and tying for the team lead with seven pass breakups. He also continued his work on the track in Boulder, finishing sixth in the 100 meters at the Pac-12 Outdoor Championships.
Round 4
Pick 21 (127)
K'Von Wallace
S Clemson 5-11 206 LBS
Clemson signed Wallace out of Richmond's Highland Springs High School, where he was named a first-team All-Virginia player on offense and defense as a senior. He played in 15 games for Clemson as a reserve during his freshman season (six tackles, one interception) before earning six starts in 14 games as a sophomore (36 tackles, one interception, four pass breakups). Wallace stepped up his game in the Tigers' 2018 national championship season, garnering honorable mention All-ACC notice after starting all 15 games and posting 55 tackles, 1.5 for loss, an interception, seven pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. He was a third-team all-conference selection as a senior, racking up 78 stops (three for loss, two sacks), two interceptions (one returned for a score), and tying for the team lead with 10 pass breakups.
Pick 39 (145)
Jack Driscoll
T Auburn 6-4 306 LBS
Compensatory Selection
Driscoll was a strong player at Daniel Hand High School in Connecticut, earning a scholarship at UMass for the 2015 season. He redshirted for the Minutemen that year, and then stepped into a starting role the following season (eight games at left guard and right tackle). Driscoll started all 12 games at the right tackle spot as a sophomore. He graduated from UMass in just three years, opening the door for a graduate transfer to play two seasons at Auburn. Driscoll acclimated to the SEC just fine, starting all 13 games at the right tackle spot in 2018 and 2019.
Round 5
Pick 23 (168)
John Hightower
WR Boise State 6-1 189 LBS
From Patriots
Hightower's speed is his calling card. In fact, he went to Hinds Community College in Mississippi to run track after high school, but ended up excelling in football (31 catches for 509 yards, seven TDs over two years) as well as on the track (finished fourth at the national JUCO meet in the 400-meter hurdles). He made an instant impact after transferring in 2018, starting four of 10 contests for the Broncos and posting 31 receptions for 504 yards (16.3 per) and six touchdowns. Hightower was a second-team All-Mountain West pick in 2019, leading his squad in receiving yards (51-953-18.5, eight TDs in 14 games, 13 starts) while also contributing to the run game on sweeps (16-154-9.6) and as the primary kick returner (26-639-24.6, one TD).
Round 6
Pick 17 (196)
Shaun Bradley
LB Temple 6-0 235 LBS
From Bears
Bradley is an athletic linebacker who has become a stalwart for the Owls since his sophomore season. An injury kept him out of the first two games of his freshman year but he ended up making six tackles in 11 games as a reserve. Bradley led the team with 85 tackles (10 for loss, one sack, one interception) in 2017, starting 12 of 13 games played. He started all 13 games as a junior, recording 78 stops (four for loss) and two interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown. Bradley was a second-team All-American Athletic Conference selection in 2019, leading the Owls with 87 tackles, eight for loss, and three pass breakups.
Pick 21 (200)
From Eagles through Bears
Watkins became a star receiver for the Golden Eagles over the past two years, garnering first-team All-Conference USA honors each season. In 2018, he started all 13 games and led the squad in receiving with 72 receptions for 889 yards (12.3 per) and nine touchdowns. Watkins missed the first two games of his senior year for an undisclosed reason but came back to rack up a team-high 1,024 yards and five touchdowns on 55 catches (18.6 per). He was a three-star recruit and second-team all-state selection from Athens, Alabama, who redshirted his first year in Hattiesburg before recording 23-337-14.7, two TDs in 13 games in 2017.
Pick 31 (210)
Prince Tega Wanogho
T Auburn 6-5 308 LBS
From 49ers
Tega Wanogho (pronounced TAY-ga wah-NO-go) grew up in Nigeria swimming and playing soccer and basketball. He earned a hoops scholarship to Edgewood Academy in Alabama, and once arriving there took up football just to get in shape -- now it appears he has a professional future in the sport. He played in 10 games as a reserve his redshirt freshman season, then started seven of 14 games played at left tackle in 2017. Wanogho started all 13 games in 2018 at left tackle. He was named a second-team All-SEC pick for his play in 12 starts at left tackle during his senior campaign. Received medical flag at Senior Bowl. Prince is, in fact, a prince in the real sense of the word, as his grandfather was the king of a village.
Round 7
Pick 19 (233)
Casey Toohill
EDGE Stanford 6-4 250 LBS
From Bears
Toohill not only had his best year on the field for the Cardinal in 2019, but he was also named a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, which is awarded to a scholar-athlete for "combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership." He started all 12 games for the first time in his career as a fifth-year senior, earning second-team All-Pac-12 honors by leading his squad with 11.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks among his 60 stops. Toohill started five of seven games played in 2018 (29 tackles, three for loss, two pass breakups), missing time in the middle of the year with an injured left arm. He played in 13 games as a redshirt freshman in 2016 (22 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two pass breakups) and suited up for all 14 games as a reserve the following year (21 tackles, four for loss, one interception, two pass breakups). Toohill was a second-team All-State pick at Central Catholic High School in San Diego as a senior (18 sacks).
