Is Baker really considered a top 3 tackle or is this just ESPN hyping a name they know? 
@Gerry Hamilton

Wasn't the breakout player of the year supposed to be Spencer Shannon according to ESPN? 

I would say Brandon Baker is a much better player than majority of the fan base believes. 

 

This is a NFL guy Matt Miller article ... different than one you mentioned

If he cleans up the penalties he is.  Definitely has the physical tools and a bit of potential that hasnt been unlocked imo.

They left out Jelani McDonald, Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers too. I doubt Baker goes in the 2027 Draft. 

McDonald is a possible top 3 round pick for sure.

Brown is not. Smothers not either for me. Those guys aren't in same stratosphere as Baugh, Lacey, Hardy and Isaac Brown.

Yeah, I wouldn't mistake Brown/Smothers for Baugh or Hardy, but the post is just about Longhorns being drafted no? Not necessarily about Longhorns being drafted in the first 2-3 rounds? If it's about Longhorns being drafted, Brown and Smothers should be in there, though they aren't first 2-3 round guys. But hey. No one thought of Matthew Golden as a first round WR while he was at UofH.

It’s more of a cream of crop prospects at positions by draft analyst Matt Miller

So you are saying that we got the wrong guys from the portal? LoL

Smothers will be a name by the end of the year if he stays healthy. Brown is pretty much the only proven guy on our team with that level of make you miss. Just hope he doesn’t get Silas Boldened in this offense.

About the minimum # for a championship caliber roster. Really want to double that to be a monster, right?

I think McDonald has a chance to have a monster year and skyrocket up these lists

I tend to agree

wingo?

 

He needs to prove that he’s a high-level receiver and not just a high-level athlete before he warrants an elite draft grade imo
