The same that NU has had the last 5 years combined. Excuse me while I go puke.
Bama now has 12 picks this year...

It needs to. A school like NU should have a first rounder every other year and average 4 to 6 players drafted yearly. Hell, UCF had 4. NCState had 7. We need to keep pace with OSU and PSU.
Speaking of getting sick...I nearly hurled when I saw that there were two 5-star WRs committed to Oklahoma.The same that NU has had the last 5 years combined. Excuse me while I go puke.
Who cares how many NFL draft picks a school has? I only care about how many games Nebraska team wins.
Sadly, most of these 'Bama guys will be taking a pay cut moving to the NFL.
It shows how far we have fallen. Frost has a hell of a job ahead of him. The fact that we even had one player drafted this year is somewhat surprising.
Well, mainly because it correlates to wins. Kids want to win titles right? College kids want to get drafted and play in the NFL right? Is it a coincidence that Bama is always winning National titles and producing the most NFL talent? So, basically, better talent and better development in college equals more NFL picks and more wins in college. Why I brought it up. 56 years of putting talent in the NFL draft is important to many Husker fans. And the last 2 years of 1 Husker drafted shows how far we've fallen off.

Its not even about the NFL. Its about winning in college. Who are the 3 best teams in the Big 10 now? OSU, PSU and Wisconsin. Who had 7 draft picks this year? OSU. Who had 6? PSU and Wisconsin. See my NFL point yet???
Final point. Why do you think NU has all the Huskers drafted and playing in the pros pictures in the players lounge? Why is their a giant cutout of Suh in the weight room? Yes, because he donated a big chunk of change. But also to show what is possible if you put in the work. You too can be a top pick and make millions in the NFL.
The amount of money a school would have to spend in marketing to equal the exposure it gets with a first round draft pick is in the tens of millions.

High NFL draft picks beget high NFL draft picks.

Exactly, how much pub did OU get from having their Heisman winner go number 1? PSU and Barkley? If you don't think HS kids are noticing you're nuts. Its all great exposure for your program!
And Lee was a transfer. Zero NFL draft picks from the pool of guys who started their careers at Nebraska. This is the bottom, IMO. Nowhere to go but up.
Unfortunately SEC led the way again with 53 guys drafted by the NFL. The Big had 35 I believe. SEC has done this for at least the last ten years.

They are at the top right now. Increase our number of draft picks and we will be making ground on them by default.
Bingo. We knew we were going to have to hit rock bottom before we started the rise back. Bama had no player drafted before Saban and look at them now.
After just two seasons at UCF he had 4 players drafted. He will get more than that drafted at Nebraska after two seasons.
If you think there is more talent at Nebraska than UCF in Frost's respective first season coaching, well, I'll buy whatever you are smoking.
I'm confident he will. Will Honas. Greg Bell. Possibly Carlos Davis. Dixon. Jaimes. Others too. They will be draft eligible.
That's good to know. Unfortunately, any good to very good player in college football does care about the NFL. It's kind of an important metric for any college football program that wants to be taken seriously.
Totally agree unfortunately. What did the kids do in the 60s through the 80s with fewer teams and more kids on scholarships. It reverts back to making good use of your college education and degree only a small fraction of the kids make the pros. I'm not being sarcastic it's actually a sad thing
