All Our Draft Picks Came From Major Schools

[Vinnie2u]

I don’t know it’s a change in philosophy.. No small school projects.

Penn State, UCLA, Iowa, Oregon State, LSU, Marshall via FSU, Stanford, Kentucky and Nebraska

I'd argue that Kentucky, Nebraska, Marshall, Oregon State, and UCLA are not major football schools.

Coastal Carolina and Liberty had better teams last year than those five schools. Seriously.

But that doesn't matter. Hopefully, they can all play and contribute because I'm tired of looking at 80% of this roster.

I would argue that most would put an astrick on Coastal Carolina and Liberty's season last year due to the pandemic.

Perhaps, but how long since any of those 5 schools were good?

20 to 50 years ago?

As a guy who went to Coastal when it was essentially a community ish school, I’m happy what they have done!

I think his point was only that there were no draft picks from small college programs or minor conferences. Besides, historically Liberty and Coastal Carolina are not at the same level, and neither is the conference they play in. If you dropped either into the SEC or Pac 12 they wouldn't come out as well.

In addition, the 10 of the 13 signed UDFAs are from major college programs:
Mississippi St, Purdue, TCU, Iowa, Texas A&M, Texas, Texas Tech, Houston, Michigan, Oregon.
The other three players came from Univ. Of Louisiana-Lafayette (although the player started out at Arizona St), Marshall, and Tiffin University - in Tiffin, OH - a city of 18,000 people located between Toledo and Cleveland.

but most of them play in big conferences that matters thats what the OP meant recognizable schools who play real competition..

you can try and be negative and reply with nothing but negativity all you want but try and figure out what he meant when he posted..

it means no carson wentz or flier on lance who played nobodies while racking up stats, only to get to the nfl and find out its much different..

not that it matters just wanted to come here and make that known..you need to lighten up bit. Nothing but trash posts about the team, coaches or players, nothing ever positive comes from your keyboard, EVER!

its as if your daily mission is to find any post that seems positive and piss all over it..

 

[Hennessy_King]

And no one from boise st thank god

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Cox only played his last year at LSU, he’s an NDSU guy.



though you could argue they’re not really a small football school anymore

Kansas plays in a big conference. So does Duke. And Vanderbilt.

I'm not really negative. V just realistic. Your unquestioning homerism makes it hard on us all.

Understood, but who are the best players in the NFL right now from Kentucky, Oregon State, Nebraska, UCLA, and Marshall?

The inference was that this projected them well. Hasn't really for others from those schools much.

 

[Ranched]

The SEC led all conferences w/a record 65 draft selections, ahead of the ACC & Big Ten, which each had 43 players drafted.

Well its a step up over eastern Washington , Western Kentucky....... Saginaw State.........Sisters of the Poor........ I've been saying for years to make the draft easier for the Cowboys FO, they should just take players from the power conferences.

I know highlight films are biased, but this guy is always looking for the ball! His game speed looks amazing, too.

Small school does not automatically mean "project" any more than big school means great pick. History is littered with examples of both cases.

Where that is true and I 100% agree with you. In the late rounds I prefer the bigger school kids. Earlier on if you’re the most talented I don’t care

I think the inference was only that they may come in more NFL ready from being in a bigger school conference and playing against better competition. But even going with your discussion, I'm sure it would be pretty easy to prove there are more NFL starters from UCLA, Oregan State, Nebraska and Kentucky than from Liberty and Coastal Carolina.
