That should change on Day 3 of the draft Saturday, with Deion Burks, Febechi Nwaiwu and other Sooners still on the board.

Keep track of where the Sooners’ draft prospects landed, either as a Day 3 draft selection or as an undrafted free agent.

Round 4, No. 106 overall: The Houston Texans selected offensive lineman Febechi Nwaiwu in the fourth round.

Standing 6-4 and weighing 319 pounds, Nwaiwu was second-team All-SEC last season. He started all 13 games for the Sooners (11 starts at right guard, two at center).

“Nwaiwu is reliably active with good length. After a bumpy first season with the Sooners in 2024, he displayed improvement in both phases,” NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein said in his profile of the Coppell product.

“Nwaiwu’s snaps at center offer a peek into what might be his best spot, but his position flexibility is a positive regardless.”

Round 4, No. 107 overall: The San Francisco 49ers made it back-to-back Sooners in the fourth round, selecting defensive lineman Gracen Halton.

Halton played in 47 career college games. He made 33 tackles (7 TFLs) with 3.5 sacks last season.

“An undersized 3-technique with disruptive attributes, Halton is best suited for a rotational role in a movement-based front,” NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein said in his pre-draft profile. “He plays with synced hands and feet and good lateral agility.”
