The Big 12 was the only conference in which at least half of its teams had a first round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, conducted in Kansas City, Missouri. Iowa State, K-State, Oklahoma, TCU, Texas and Texas Tech each had a player’s name called in the opening round.
 
The six picks gave the Big 12 a total of 95 first-round selections in its history. It is also the most the Conference has had in the opening round as a 10-member league, topping the five in the 2012 and 2020 drafts.
 
The Big 12 has 712 all-time picks after the conclusion of the 2023 Draft. A total of 30 players were drafted from Big 12 current schools while incoming schools had 10 selections.
 
Texas Tech OLB Tyree Wilson was the first Big 12 player called, going as the No. 7 overall selection to the Las Vegas Raiders. He is the highest-drafted defensive player in Red Raider history and ties for the second-highest selection on either side of the ball in school history. Wilson is the fifth TTU player all-time to go in the top 10 picks.
 
Texas’ Bijan Robinson gave the Big 12 back-to-back selections when he was taken by the Atlanta Falcons at No. 8. He is the 45^th first-round selection in Longhorn history and the first RB drafted in the opening round since Cedric Benson was drafted fourth by the Bears in 2005.
 
Will McDonald’s selection by the New York Jets at No. 15 marks just the second first-round pick in Iowa State history as he joined RB George Amundson, taken by the Oilers in 1973 (14^th overall). The DL is tied as the Big 12’s career sacks leader with 34.0.
 
TCU WR Quentin Johnston was selected with the 21st overall pick by the Los Angeles Chargers. He is the 17th Horned Frog to be a first-round selection and seventh in the last 14 seasons, including the third wide receiver in the past eight years.
 
Oklahoma OT Anton Harrison became the program's 48th first-round NFL Draft pick when he was selected No. 27 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He marks OU’s fifth first-round pick over the last six seasons and the first offensive lineman taken in the opening round since tackle Lane Johnson at No. 4 to the Eagles in 2013.
 
Kansas City native Felix Anudike-Uzomah gets to stay home as the K-State OLB was the 31^st and final selection in the first round by the Super Bowl champion Chiefs. Anudike-Uzomah is the sixth first-round selection in Wildcats history and the first since QB Josh Freeman at No. 17 in 2009 by Tampa Bay.
