1st/2nd rd picks in last 10 NFL, MLB & NBA drafts:
UofL-17
UK-16
OhioSt-15
Ala-14
LSU-14
FSU-13
UCLA-13
Fla-12
Clemson/ND/Vandy/UVa-10.
Not over the last 10 years but over the last 10 drafts.
Why didn't you do the 12 just to have last the last four years why add the other NBA draft or does that take Louisville out of first place?
Either way shoes how great of athletes are at Louisville, Kentucky and Ohio State. The Ohio Valley rich in talent.

I didn't do the work, copied from elsewhere. The Cards have had a good showing in all drafts. I would suspect that at least some of the others dominated one of the drafts. Like Kentucky, I believe they had 1 taken in the NFL draft & another in the MLB draft with the rest going in the NBA draft. Louisville had only 1 player chosen in the previous NBA draft.
Should include the NHL! jk
Syracuse has 17 but SU doesn't play baseball. There have been 16 Syracuse players drafted in the first and second rounds of the Major League Lacrosse draft in the past 10 drafts. And 5 Syracuse players drafted in the only round of the National Lacrosse League draft in the past 10 drafts.
Syracuse baseball in the dome would be awesome. You would be the only Northern team able to have early home games. You could schedule anyone up north you wanted.
Since 2014 (as a member of the AAC), UCONN has had at least one player drafted in the first round of the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS.

Agreed.
But this list can't be complete . I looked up Indiana to further the Ohio Valley theory and they have 17:
Baseball:
2009 - Eric Arnett, Josh Phegley, Matt Bashore
2010 - Jake Petricka
2013 - Sean Manaea
2014 - Kyle Schwarber, Sam Travis
2015 - Jeff Degano
Football: Roger Saffold (2010), Tracy Porter (2008), James Hardy (2008), Cody Latimer (2014)
Basketball: DJ White (2008) Eric Gordon (2008), Cody Zeller (2013), Victor Oladipo (2013), Noah Vonleh (2014)
Also Cincinnati has 7. Other Ohio Valley schools with top picks include Purdue, Xavier, Butler, Pitt, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt. Also, Illinois and Virginia Tech are technically in the Ohio River Valley, although most of their students hail from elsewhere.

That's all interesting. The list in the OP was from the last 10 combined drafts, not the last 10 drafts from each sport. So it's from around 2013 & on, that maybe why it seems incomplete.
