Randy Bullock of Texas A&M was the first placekicker taken, at No. 161 overall by Houston. The All-American kicker, Bullock won the Lou Groza award, connecting on 25 of 29 field-goal attempts in 2011.
Players undrafted include record-setting quarterbacks Kellen Moore of Boise State and Case Keenum of Houston.
