I never knew Florida put anyone in the NFL after Emmit Smith.

 

[skasper06]

I think we are tied with bammer and Florida for most all-time first round picks, 43 I believe.

My bad, that was SEC rankings.

Eh, even if it were the NCAA rankings I think it wouldn't be too much different.

Carson Palmer is the 1st overall pick of the 2013 draft?

2. Southern California
Voting Points: 70.75. First-Round Picks Since 1998: 19. Top Draftee Since 1998: QB Carson Palmer, first overall pick in 2013.

Carson Palmer is the 1st overall pick of the 2013 draft?

Although an obvious error. What if he did "re-enter" the draft. Would he be a top 10 pick? 1st rounder?

There are very few #1 QB picks that are deemed "worthy." For every Elway and Manning there are 10 busts.

Jeez, that's actually a good question... I would have to say, no to top 10, and probably no to 1st rounder.

Think of it like this, would most NFL teams trade a 1st round pick for him? My guess, is that he'd be a late 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Number 8 nationally, number one in the SEC...

Was a little surprised by Purdue ahead of UGA,FSU and Florida...I knew the Boilers have had several good QB's but found it overall a little surprising.

 

[ShowSomePride]

It's hard to imagine having 10 guys drafted in one year.

 

[Giveem6]

I wouldn't be to upset at 5. Look at Georgia and how highly ranked they are. All that talent and completely championshipless. Shucks to be a bulldog always and forever.

 

[VolsMcGee]

Man. What in the world happened to Miami

The NCAA.

 

[knoxvols1]

It's because you negative-ass jockeys ushered out the coach who made this happen for us after a few mediocre seasons.

If you think it would have stayed this bad under Fulmer, you probably licked your lead paint covered walls as a toddler.

Yeah, Johnny sure did build this program up.

 

[Biopsyman]

Great marketing tool for our program.

Miami, Georgia, USC top draft producing schools since 1998

Would have been higher if the past 5 years could be erased

 

[82_VOL_83]

284 total picks since 1936 not counting this year.....don't know where that ranks though.

Edit: also doesn't count the supplemental draft and those signed as UDFAs that eventually made it.

Wonder how we stack up in Canton? Maybe someone with more time/gumption than me will look it up.

Took less than a minute because I was curious as well. UT has 2, Doug Atkins & Reggie White. Here are the leaders:

Thanks for that, BV.

Hmmm... Okay, so number 3 is just a matter of time (Peyton). After that, there are some interesting possibilities....

Geez, that could be a whole new thread (and probably has been).

I would have hoped UT would have had more than 2. I was surprised by that. I've never really thought about it, though.

Manning is a lock. Witten, maybe.

If Foster sustains production he'll get there too.

That's a big IF. RB's, as a general rule, have a short lifespan in the NFL.
