Aaron Jones drafted by the Green Bay Packers. It's been nice seeing a steady stream of CUSA players selected

Trent Taylor ran the shuttle really well and he runs very good routes. Arkansas and Tx Tech couldn't cover him either.

As a Packers fan I got the notification for this one. They list one of his weaknesses as "Played inferior competition in Conference USA"

ESPN said the same thing about the #5 overall pick and the MAC.

They realize we do play a couple of P5s every year, right? In WMU's case 3, and he made plays against a top-10 team.

I don't recall him ever doing much against us. Henderson OWNED us though. He could light up a cigarette and smoke on the way to the end zone against us. Hell, I'd never throw to Taylor as long as Hendo was lighting us up. He was a guaranteed touchdown against our dee backfield. Taylor had Western connections but we did okay with the other Taylor (Taywan) and Nicholas Norris.

People always think Brett Favor was one of our first rounders....but he was an early 2nd rounder...while Robo QB Todd Marinovich and QB Don McGwire were taken in the 1st round before Favor. Yep, those NFL execs were right on the money...

Good job Miner...I was too lazy to do the update (imagine that)...

Looks like La Tech had a great draft and edged up on us.....methinks we might add a few on them next year however..

Well, there's no doubt who the football schools are.

I wouldn't be shocked if Tech's Jaylon Ferguson comes into 1st round conversation next season

LA Tech's number is wrong. LA Tech had 70 all-time NFL draftees before this past weekend, so now Tech has 73 total. So yes, LA Tech just passed UNT in this category.

Interesting. No slight intended; I just used the official NFL website:
http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldra...ype=school

It looks like your Wikipedia page is double counting some people. Just a quick glance shows 2 each of Paul Hynes, JR Williamson, Jim Bourdeaux

That's cause they were drafted by two different leagues... afl NFL. So does it count twice or not?
