Right I was just going by since the common draft. In the days of both an AFL and NFL draft a guy like that could have gone #4 in one draft, and not until the 4th round in another. See Morton: #5 overall in 1965....in NFL draft, but not until round 10 in AFL draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Here is today's Trivia Question: Since the onset of the Common Draft...i.e. when NFL and AFL combined their drafts in 1966......there have been 10 colleges who have had 3 or more Quarterbacks drafted in the First Round of the draft. Name those 10 colleges. Answers all given: Cal.....Goff, Rodgers, Boller, Rich Campbell, Bartkowski Florida.....Tebow, Grossman, Spurrier, John Reaves Florida St......Ponder, Manuel, Winston Oklahoma.....Murray, Mayfield, Bradford (all #1 overall) Oregon.....Mariota, Harrington, Akili Smith, Chris Mills. Justin Herbert will give them 5 Purdue.....Griese, Everitt, Phipps (Drew Brees was #32 pick, which at the time was 2d round) UCLA...Rosen, Aikman, Cade McNown, Tommy Maddox USC...Darnold, Sanchez, Leinart, Palmer, Todd Marinovich Washington State: Leaf, Bledsoe, Jack Thompson Note: #1 as mentioned above, Oregon will get its 5th First round draft pick QB when Herbert gets taken (I think that is safe to say) That will mean that the only schools that will have had 5 first round picks since the "Common Draft"...have all been Pac-10 schools #2. Joe Burrow will allow LSU to join the "3 First Round QB since the merger club"....having Jamarcus Russell and Bert Jones previously. #3. Tua....will only be the second 1st round QB from Alabama in the Common Draft era....Richard Todd being the other Namath/Starr were prior to Common Draft era......Stabler as noted above...2d round. #4. Jordan Love, if taken in round one, will be first First round QB by Utah St. Their rival Utah...has had just one: Alex Smith. #5. As noted above....all Oklahoma QBs taken in round one were each #1 overall picks. The same is true for Stanford: Luck/Elway/Plunkett....all #1 overall. #6. Besides OK and Stanford, the only other school with more than 1 #1 overall is Cal......Goff and Bartkowski. No other school has had more than one #1 overall QB.

The Gipper Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 You all made short order of yesterday's quiz. Today's may prove to be harder. What it will also prove is that for a long long period of time, Running Backs were the cream of the crop when it came to drafting positions in Round 1 ...rather than QB. Here it is, and is similar to yesterday's question: Since the Common Draft began in 1966......there have been 11 schools who have had FIVE (5) or more of their Running Backs taken in the first round of the draft. Name these 11 schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(regular only) (Young would make 11) Michigan has had 4 players taken in the Top 3 overall in the NFL draft. Name these players from these schools that went in the Top 3 Overall.
