Year round coverage of the NFL Draft.

Pro Days: Oklahoma

Oklahoma held its pro day on Tuesday. A number of potential first-day selections worked out including OT Phil Loadholt and OG Duke Robinson.

Loadholt, who weighed in at 6'7", 332 lbs, was reportedly impressive in his drills. The knock against Loadholt has been his lack of quickness which may limit him to right tackle in the pros. He didn't improve his stock considerably but he likely proved his worth as a 3rd round prospect.

Nic Harris didn't have nearly as much success. He ran only a 4.84 in the forty, which essentially eliminates any chance of him playing safety in the NFL. He does have a chance of playing linebacker, but his forty time doesn't even put him among the average players at that position. At this point its possible that Harris doesn't even hear his named called at all.

Duke Robinson also worked out and struggled as well. He has the size and strength to excel at guard, but his quickness is questionable. He could fall to the third round.

Overall, it was a dissapointing day for Oklahoma. Despite their success as a team in 2008 its possible that no Sooners are selected on the first day of the draft.

Among the notables in attendance was Vikings head coach Brad Childress, pressuably focusing on the offensive linemen and potentially Juaquin Iglesias. Offensive line coaches for the Bills, Lions and Dolphins were also in attendance.
