Maybe former Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh becoming the No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL draft isn't as inevitable as many NFL talent scouts are leading us to believe.
Todd McShay's most recent mock draft has pushed Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy into the top slot in his latest draft projection. Suh is the No. 2 pick.
The NFL has a total of 10 first-round draft picks in McShay's most recent draft. The SEC is next with seven players.
If that number holds up, it would dwarf the Big 12's previous record of seven first-round draft picks set last season.
Here are McShay's most recent first-round projections for Big 12 players.
1. Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy, St. Louis Rams.
2. Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh, Detroit Lions.
5. Oklahoma State T Russell Okung, Kansas City Chiefs.
8. Oklahoma T Trent Williams, Oakland Raiders.
9. Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford, Buffalo Bills.
11. Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant, Denver Broncos.
2o. Texas S Earl Thomas, Houston Texans.
21. Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati Bengals.
26. Texas DE/OLB Sergio Kindle, Arizona Cardinals.
32. Missouri LB Sean Weatherspoon, New Orleans Saints.
