NFL Draft

[Prairiehaas]

So then half the FCS players drafted were from the MVFC. And, MVFC has more players drafted this season than the MAC, C-USA and Sun Belt. All right then.

Matt Zimmer retweeted (4/30/22) the following tweet from "Pick Six Previews" (Brett Ciancia):

"The Dakota's Big Three (North Dakota State, SoDak State, North Dakota) had the same amount of draft picks as Florida's Big Three (UF, FSU, Miami)."

This post addresses only draft picks. Looks like so far SDSU has three undrafted free agents, Johnson, Gardner and Griffin.

I checked the Sporting News to see the draftee numbers for SDSU, NDSU and UND. (See sportingnews.com )

SDSU 2
NDSU 2
UND 1

If you're curious, other Valley schools having draftees are:

UNI 1
Youngstown State 1
Mo State 1

Sporting News also had a table showing draftees by conference. They lumped all FCS togther but did not include the 1 draftee from Yale -- the Ivy League is FCS but declines to participate in the FCS post-season. In the Sporting News chart the Ivy League is listed separate from FCS

The SEC' s Georgia, set a record at 15!

Michael Griffin goes to the Titans as UDFA.

Oladokun goes to the Steelers in the 7th.

Chris should have a great chance of making the practice squad this year and possibly QB2 in the future

Mel likes Pierre Strong Jr as an under the radar choice in earlier rounds.
