Mock Draft: Picking a full round of draft-eligible Texas high school football prospects

Football season officially ended after the Los Angeles Rams and Highland Park native Matthew Stafford knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals. All eyes now move towards spring ball for the high school and college ranks, as well as the NFL Draft for departing college prospects. The state of Texas is always well represented at the NFL Draft with the 2022 version taking place on April 28 through April 30. 

Mock drafts are everywhere, but this one is different. What if NFL teams could only draft players who played high school football inside the state of Texas? We do a one-round mock draft with Texas high school football prospects below. The only rule is that the player must have finished their high school career in Texas. So, a Texas native who played out of state is eligible (Garrett Wilson at Ohio State for example) while an out-of-state product who played college football in state is not eligible (Marcus Jones at Houston for example).
