McShay says it's going to be West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith , who'll be headed to the Buffalo Bills with the eighth pick and the first quarterback drafted. Kiper? He doesn't even have Smith going anywhere in the first round.
Kiper's first Big 12 player taken is a much less pretty position. He's going with converted quarterback Lane Johnson, who emerged as an offensive line standout over the past couple years for Oklahoma. Kiper says the Sooner will be the first Big 12 player taken, all the way down at No. 16 to the St. Louis Rams. McShay has Johnson going even higher, at No. 11, to the San Diego Chargers.
It's going to be a quiet first round for the Big 12 this April without a ton of NFL-bound talent, but we'll see how the leagues' talents fluctuate throughout the draft process with pro days and the combine still to come
