The 2016 NFL Draft should be a banner year for Baylor Football with the chance to have the most players selected in a single draft in school history. There are a number of 1st round mock drafts out there with the two most visual (not necessarily accurate) being ESPN's Todd McShay and Mel Kiper. Neither had a Bear going in round 1, but that was before Billings declared and should be changed in their next iteration.
The most comprehensive mock draft to date is Walters Football having projected the first 4 rounds.

Here is how Walters is projecting 4 BU players in the first 4 rounds of the 2016 Draft (round and overall pick):
Round 1 / pick 12: Andrew Billings to New Orleans
Round 2 / pick 32: Corey Coleman to Cleveland
Round 2 / pick 56: Shawn Oakman to Seattle
Round 3 / pick 95: Spencer Drango to Carolina
I think these are about right with Coleman and Oakman having a chance to slide up to round 1 and Drango to round 2 based on Combine and workouts. In addition, I could see the following players being selected:
X Howard: rounds 4-6
Jamal Palmer: rounds 6-7
Jay Lee: rounds 6-7
Additionally, I can see the following guys going as undrafted free agents who'll get camp invites:
Landes (possibly a late round pick)
Broxton
Muir
Penning
Blackshear
McGowan (someone will take a chance on his size and athleticism to see if they can mold him)
That would be 7 Bears drafted with up to 13 in camps which would be an impressive showing.
