Where Big 12 Draft Prospects Were Rated by Mel Kiper

Mel Kiper recently put a list ranking the upcoming seniors by position as NFL prospects. Here are the Big 12 players who made his lists.

Quarterbacks

• No. 4: Brandon Weeden, Oklahoma State
• No. 5: Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M

Running backs

• No. 1: Cyrus Gray, Texas A&M

Fullbacks

• No. 1: Cody Johnson, Texas

Receivers

• No. 2: Jeff Fuller, Texas A&M
• No. 3: Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma

Tight ends

• No. 1: Michael Egnew, Missouri

Offensive tackles:

• No. 1: Levy Adcock, Oklahoma State
• No. 3: Kelechi Osemele, Iowa State

Outside linebackers:

• No. 2: Travis Lewis, Oklahoma
• No. 4: Keenan Robinson, Texas

Safeties

• No. 4: Markelle Martin, Oklahoma State

It's important to note that Weeden would be much, much higher if he were not 28 years old. NFL scouts just don't know how much he can improve because of how old he is. They are weary of spending a first round pick on someone who is going to be good when they're 33.

University of Texas and ESPN Reach Agreement For Network

The University of Texas and ESPN reached a 20-year, $300 million contract with the sports giant. ESPN also agreed to help set up and run the Texas Longhorn Network. It is set to launch in September 2011. The University can expect a lot of money headed their way with this agreement. This shows the power that the University of Texas exhibits in the sports world. There will be 24 hour coverage of Texas Athletics on the new network.
