Part of the NFL Draft that I enjoy is seeing where my Fighting Irish are drafted and where. I like to stack them (the team) up against other programs to see where everyone is picked and how many of them. Since I live in Pennsylvania, I have a little fun with neighbors who are die-hard Penn St fans.

In this respect, there are 3 Notre Dame guys (Tuitt, Nix, Martin) that have a shot at being taken in the first round and all 3 should be selected by the 2nd. They have others that could be taken as well (like Watt, Shembo, etc)

so, do you take any pride or enjoyment in seeing your favorite college team's players get picked?

I would, but only one guy has gotten drafted from Army in forever and the Army wouldn't let him go to camp.

I like you Fredd but I hate ND so I might have room to re-evaluate how I feel about you. :p

WVU

RB Charles Sims... Would love to see him on the team and I think he could thrive out of the backfield in the passing game. However I imagine they would not take a RB I the area he will probably go.

DE Will Clarke... Guy has a good motor and they like him. I like the guy but he is probably a rotational guy.

DT Shaq Rowell... UDFA who would come I as a camp body but could surprise and possible make practice squad.

There are a couple other UDFA but I don't think they would get a look.

Absolutely. Always look forward to seeing where Hokies end up. This year the only first rounder we should have is Kyle Fuller. But Thomas, Exum, and Gayle should all get drafted.

Somebody could really get a steal with Exum after practically missing all of last season from the torn ACL.

That's one of the fun parts of the draft for me.

Not that they are football juggernauts, but both North Carolina and East Carolina are always in on the fun.

Both ECU and UNC have 9 players taken in a single draft before. Not bad.
I doubt most schools can say that, though certainly all the top programs, most likely.

The Longhorns haven't been putting to many players in the NFL lately.
