The decision to leave Oklahoma after their junior seasons earned linebacker Curtis Lofton and receiver Malcolm Kelly a selection in the second round of the NFL draft.
Lofton was the first Sooners player taken in today's draft. Last season's Big 12 defensive player of the year was the 37th overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons.
Kelly went to the Washington Redskins (web|news) with the 51st pick.
This was the first time in seven years that the Sooners didn't have a player selected in the first round of the NFL draft.
