Linking Up: Thoughts on the NFL draft

A few thoughts on the Sooners having eight players drafted by the NFL last week – and more.

*Here’s a look at how the each pick fits with his new team. I have some reservations about Kyler Murray’s situation in Arizona.

*How about looking ahead to the 2020 draft? Here’s my best guess as to the top 20 NFL prospects in the Big 12 next year.

*Best Endgame edit I’ve seen so far:

For the record, I thought Endgame was good. How’s that for a flaming hot take?

*A movie I liked even more: Hell or High Water from 2016. Talk about painting a picture of West Texas. It’s also a fantastic commentary on the aftermath of the financial crisis.

*I consider myself a Jeopardy! aficionado, and James Holzauher is easily the most impressive contestant I’ve ever seen. Per FiveThirtyEight, the numbers say he’s the best in the history of the show.

*The mental benefits of an active lifestyle.

*John Singleton’s death reminded me of what a breakthrough Boyz n the Hood was when it was released in 1992.
