Running back Devon Achane, shown during Texas A&M's pro day in March, was the Aggies' highest draftee this year, going in the third round to the Dolphins.COLLEGE STATION — Five years ago, Texas A&M signed a defensive lineman who would develop into a top-10 selection in the 2023 NFL draft. At Texas Tech.
Wilson’s exit after two years for a Big 12 program is the starkest example to date of A&M’s failure under sixth-year coach Jimbo Fisher to develop high-level draft talent, but it's not the only one. The Aggies have been shut out of the first and second rounds in three of the last four years, one more reason they’ve yet to win a West division title in 11 seasons in the SEC and of late have strayed further from that elusive goal.
The Aggies had three overall picks this year, all after the first two rounds: running back Devon Achane in the third round to the Miami Dolphins, safety Antonio Johnson in the fifth round to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and cornerback Jaylon Jones in the seventh round to the Indianapolis Colts. “Understanding the difference of playing and getting production and playing at a championship level,” Fisher said of one his primary tasks to teach his players this offseason. “All those little details and all those little things and making sure we understand them and that hold each other accountable … for all those little things that happen.
