Texas A&M Football: 2015 NFL Draft Tracker, Analysis and Results
The Texas A&M Aggies need some help to continue their four-year streak of first-round picks when the opening session of the 2015 NFL draft concludes.
Offensive tackle Cedric Ogbuehi is a fringe first-round prospect, and he'd give Texas A&M three consecutive drafts with a top-32 O-lineman selection. Offensive guard Jarvis Harrison, running back Trey Williams and tight end Cameron Clear round out the players who could be selected between Thursday, April 30 and Saturday, May 2.
This piece will highlight the Aggies' draft hopefuls. Prior to the draft, we will analyze all four athletes and their respective strengths as football players. We will also discuss predictions on draft positioning.
Once the draft ends, we will update the slides, detailing each player and how he fits in with his future team.
OT Cedric Ogbuehi
1 of 4Drafted: Round 1, Pick 19 to Cincinnati Bengals
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 306 lbs
Analysis
The Cincinnati Bengals already have Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith, but it's hard to argue with taking Cedric Ogbuehi in the middle of Round 1.
Ogbuehi is currently recovering from an ACL injury that he sustained in Texas A&M's bowl game, so he might not even take the field in 2015. However, Smith's contract expires after this season, per Spotrac, so Cincinnati could be planning on Ogbuehi taking over at right tackle in 2016.
Replacement
Germain Ifedi considered declaring for the 2015 draft, but ultimately elected to stay for one more season in hopes of becoming a first-round pick, which he very well might do. However, Avery Gennesy might beat Ifedi out at left tackle.
G Jarvis Harrison
2 of 4
Drafted: Round 5, Pick 152 to New York Jets
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 330 lbs
Analysis
Jarvis Harrison was one of the better mid-Day 3 picks, heading to the New York Jets. Harrison is excellent in space, solid on the move and shows adequate lateral quickness. He'll provide useful depth on a New York offense that has James Carpenter and Willie Colon at the guard positions.
Replacement
Jermaine Eluemunor and Keaton Sutherland will compete for the vacated left guard spot. Eluemunor, a redshirt junior, has a clear edge on the true freshman Sutherland, but that could change during the fall.
RB Trey Williams
3 of 4
Draft Projection: Round 6, Pick 211 to Houston Texans
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 195 lbs
Analysis
It's a shame the Aggies didn't run the ball more often with Trey Williams, because he was terrific. The small, shifty back averaged 6.6 yards per carry over his three years at Texas A&M, but he never logged more than 81 carries in a season. Williams can provide an essentially unused change-of-pace option to an NFL backfield.
Replacement
Brandon Williams and Tra Carson shared time in the backfield with Williams last season, and the duo figures to grab those vacated snaps over Jay Bradford and Kendall Bussey. Perhaps Kevin Sumlin will actually utilize his talented runners more often in 2015.
TE Cameron Clear
4 of 4
Draft Projection: Round 7, Pick 243 to Dallas Cowboys
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 277 lbs
Analysis
Similar to the running back position, tight end is simply not a focal point in the Texas A&M offense. Cameron Clear caught just nine passes during his two seasons in College Station.
Then again, that might have been a blessing in disguise. Clear is absolutely massive for his position and is an experienced blocker, so he's a candidate for a move to offensive tackle. For that reason, he'll likely be signed as an undrafted free agent if he's not picked on Day 3.
Replacement
True freshman Jordan Davis enrolled early and is quickly approaching senior Brandon Alexander and sophomore David Darley. Davis, a 6'4", 255-pound weapon, is built to play immediately.
