-15 of the players drafted in the first round were from the SEC and Big XII. That says something.
-Mizzu had six players drafted, QB Chase Daniel was not one of them. Sadness.
-At Nebraska Cody Glenn used to spell Marlon Lucky at Running Back. Glenn moved to OLB and got drafted. Lucky remained in the offensive backfield and did not get drafted. Sad end for one of Callahan's prized recruits.
-Texas had three defensive linemen get drafted. I wonder if those Big XII spread offenses will run at them more in 2009?
-Oklahoma had two offensive linemen and two receivers drafted. When Sam Bradford’s numbers are down in 2009 it won’t be because there is anything wrong with him.
-South Carolina had seven players drafted but continue to struggle on the field. Bryce Williams is cursed.
-USC had more players drafted (11) than the entire Western Athletic Conference (10). Sick.
-Check out the Oregon schools with a total of 13 players drafted. Who knew?
-Cincinnatti led the Big East with six players selected from a recruiting class that Rivals ranked #94 in the country. That can either be attributed to several diamonds in the rough, great player development under Dantonio/Kelly or some combination of both. Despite this they still lost the Orange Bowl to a young Virginia Tech team that had only one player drafted CB Victor "Macho" Harris.
-North Carolina had three receivers drafted from a very pedestrian offense. Measurables.
-West Virginia- I was surprised Pat White went as high as he did. Running QB’s tend to get lost in the shuffle and don’t always translate well into the NFL. I’ll be interested to see how Miami plans to use him.
-Utah had four players drafted but kicker Louie Sakoda was not among them. Louie was money.
-Hawaii had three players drafted including CB Ryan Mouton in the 3rd round. Not bad for a kid that got worked over by Jimmy Clausen in December.
-Troy Corner Sherrod Martin went in the 2nd round as the lone player from the Sun Belt Conference to be drafted. Meanwhile in the FCS Lone Star Conference Abilene Christian had two players drafted in WR Johnny Knox and RB Bernard Scott.
-Sam Houston State Quarterback Rhett Bomar might have been the best QB taken in the draft and he didn’t go until the 5th round. In 2005 Sam Bradford was riding pine at Oklahoma behind Bomar. Shortly after the season Bomar got wrapped up in the OU Big Red Sports and Imports Car scandal, got kicked off the team and transferred to Sam Houston State. Bradford took over at Oklahoma and won the Heisman. Despite having been on the take at OU I’m guessing Bomar still probably knows how to play Quarterback.
OK enough about anything having to do with the NFL. Best of luck to all the draftees, now I'm back to college football!
