Oklahoma St. Cowboys redshirt sophomore WR Justin Blackmon is the highest-ranked 2011 NFL Draft prospect thus far in bowl season, as far as offensive players go. Though he hasn’t yet declared for the draft, Blackmon is expected to be picked in the first round, perhaps even higher than fellow Cowboy receiver Dez Bryant was a year ago.
