The Austin-to-Miami pipeline was busy on the final day of the NFL Draft.
The Dolphins picked three straight Longhorns — Trey Moore, Michael Taaffe and DJ Campbell — between the fourth and sixth rounds on Saturday. They’ll join former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, who was a rookie this past season.
After setting a program record with 11 and 12 draft picks the past two seasons, the Longhorns’ highest pick this year was linebacker Anthony Hill (second round). All but one of the six picks came in the fourth round or later.
“I’m excited for this group,” UT coach Steve Sarkisian said before the draft. “We may not have a record-breaking class like we’ve had the last couple years, but this group is going to play a lot of football games in the NFL, and they’re going to be successful at it.”
