Tulsa came into the 2011 draft with 9 picks. The team had many needs after a flurry of predraft trades. Many of those holes were filled in this draft. The draft provides the team with some very solid players. No real superstars but many starters.
1-7 -- Ken Singleton, RB UCLA. Singleton provides the team with a speed back with good size and power. At 5' 9" and 210 pounds of 4.43 speed. Singleton will be able to work inside and outside. He needs to learn to block better and strengthen his hands. Singleton had some fumbles and drops during mini-camp.
1-20 -- Brock Heath, RT Maryland. Heath was conspicoulsly absent during the combines. A bit undersized at 6' 1" 305 pounds. Some analysts felt he would have been a top 10 pick had he gone to the combines. Others see it as a red flag that he skipped. Tulsa took the chance to improve and continue the youth movement on the offensive line.
2-11 -- Rufus Wilkins, RDE Oregon. Wilkins provides a strong runstopping end to complement Brummitt. He also has the ability to finese his way to the QB. He will start opposite Brummitt.
2-27 -- Shane Jamison, SE Georgia Southern. Jamisons size and the fact he went to a small school worked against him. The will benefit the TigerHawks. Givinf Sanford a target to spend his career with. Will start.
3-5 -- D.J. Barrios, RDT Louisiana Tech. A need was addressed here. Unfortunatley, Barrios didnt perform as well as the Hawks coaching staff hoped he would. Still projected as a starter.
3-10 -- Rex Torres, SLB Maryland. Retirements decimated the linebacking corp. Torres joins a crop of free agents battling to start beside Bradbury. Torres could start.
4-9 -- Martin Witt, FL Minnesota. More help at receiver. Witt is a ball control receiver with the ability to break the big one. Didnt get much opportunity at run happy Minnesota. Could start with a good training camp and preseason.
6-30 -- Dwight Booker, FS North Alabama. The TigerHawk staff took a chance on the unknown. He looks to contine to be unknown.
7-14 -- Marcus Morton, QB South Carolina. Will be 3rd stringer this season. Hoping to develop him into Sanfords caddy.
