Longhorn Blitz: Recapping the 2021 NFL Draft

Horns247 Podcasts: Longhorn Blitz, The Flagship and State of Recruiting

Rod Babers, Matt Butler and Jeff Howe are back to break down the 2021 NFL Draft for the Texas Longhorns on the latest episode of Longhorn Blitz. Five Longhorns were taken and this week's podcast tackles a number of angles coming out of the draft.

— How Samuel Cosmi's selection reflects both sides of the coin when it comes to player development under former head coach Tom Herman.

— Why Joseph Ossai's 2019 season where he played out of position on a bad Texas defense might've carried more weight with NFL teams than the All-American season he had in 2020.

— Why the Denver Broncos targeted Caden Sterns in the fifth round and what version of the safety they believe they can get.

— Did years of Texas defensive linemen being undervalued in the draft finally turn the other way with Ta'Quin Graham getting picked in the fifth round?

— What going to the Indianapolis Colts means for Sam Ehlinger's future and why it might be the best NFL fit for any of the Longhorn draft picks.

Plus, Rod relieves his draft weekend, what the drafts for Alabama and Washington say about Steve Sarkisian and Pete Kwiatkowski and how premium-round draft picks relate directly to victories on the field for the Longhorns are topics up for discussion on this week's episode of Longhorn Blitz!
