Chiefs got a good one! Spoke to a bunch of teams about R Mason over past couple weeks and one word that consistently came up was "clean". No holes or red flags. Unique edge rusher who's not afraid to do the grimy stuff against the run. Also has unquantifiable ability to get to QB in big moments, hence "The Closer" nickname.

Came to OU as underrated 215-pound 3-star and all he did was put in the work. Credit also goes to @MiguelChavis65, an elite EDGE developer!

Gracen's stock has taken off since early November. Had great final month of season in lead up to CFP, killed it in Senior Bowl 1-on-1's, and then crushed Combine. Hard to find productive interior rushers with hot motors and high character. Energetic dude who truly flips the switch on gamedays. Grace brought the juice for Team 131 and his presence will be missed in Norman. Niners pass rush just got better! Another great developmental story for @CoachToddBates!

Credit @HoustonTexans for not overthinking this one. Spoke to them this morning and they were fully convicted about him. Former walk-on checks tons of boxes. Smart, tough, dependable, versatile, experienced, and leader. Great value in fourth round! @officialfeb_54 will be a pillar in the Houston community as well. Another dude we'll miss around the Switzer Center! Nobody in CFB develops O-linemen like @OU_CoachB!

Smart pick by @AtlantaFalcons! If past two days of draft have shown us anything, it's NFL is trending towards more heavy TE sets. Therefore, teams need long-bodied guys who can matchup and @KendalDaniels__ is that guy. Hard to find 6'5" guys who can finish in space. Smart & versatile hybrid defender who learned multiple spots in BV's complex scheme and excelled at Cheetah spot. Credit Falcons for seeing a fit and vision for K5! Cool chess piece player for ATL!!!

Just got off the phone with @Titans OC Brian Daboll and didn't know where to start when going over all reasons I love Jaren Kanak. Elite speed, natural run skills, versatility (played 3 years at LB in SEC), and proven ST ace. Also an unbelievable teammate. Last weekend he drove 10+ hours round-trip to go home and get his #38 Owen Heinecke jersey so he'd have it to wear to OU spring game to support his buddy that just won his NCAA appeal for an extra year. @KanakJaren will be a Titans fan favorite!

Steelers stole one! Was hearing from teams that he'd go couple rounds higher after blazing 4.32 at the Combine. Pittsburgh got a blue-collar worker who fits the DNA of the Steel City. RSJ is a first-class, team-first dude who will contribute right away on ST. Congrats, @RobertJ3nnings!
