Beyond that I did not see any first rounders with DIRECT connection to a 2023 Big XII program.

I wouldn't read too much into it. If you knew some of the people in the draft room on these NFL teams, you would scratch your head and wonder how these people ever got to where they are today. Several stat companies based on various ratings systems say that more than 50% of first round draft picks are busts. One stat company ran an 8 year study of first round draft picks from 2010 through 2017 and found that only 31% of the teams that drafted first round picks re-signed them to the same original team for their second contract. That's not a good success rate for such a high cost investment.
Then on the flip side, someone like Cooper Beebe is a no brainer pick up that is a core long term player for any NFL team. He's a guaranteed starter and core player on the OL. Its just not a flashy pick. The fact that there were only a few 1st round B12 players drafted doesn't mean much in my eyes.
I can give you this from my opinion, there would have been no way in hell that I would have drafted Caleb Williams as a QB, in any round. Are there any betting odds on him being a bust because I want some of the action.

Pick 'Em
2ESPN said they were going to pick a TE. They were very complimentary of his performance at the Combine.
Commanders do not have a TE on the team that has ever caught a NFL Touchdown.
Congratulations Ben!!
