Along those lines...

In 2005, we had the 14 upperclassmen who would go on to be NFL draft picks: Stevenson, Fasano, Stovall, Santucci, Richardson, Abiamiri, Laws, Landri, Ndukwe, Zbikowksi, Carlson, Quinn, Harris and Sullivan. Samardzija would have been drafted so lets call it 15. We also had guys like Mays, Levoir, Shelton, and Marcus Freeman who would all last at least a year in the NFL as free agents.

In 2006, the number dropped to 12 - Santucci, Richardson, Samardzija, Abiamiri, Laws, Landri, Ndukwe, Zbikowksi, Carlson, Quinn, Harris and Sullivan. We got no bump from the rising juniors although Darius latched on as a free agent, as did Freeman.

In 2007, the number dropped to, most likely, 5 - Laws, Zbikowksi, Carlson, Sullivan and Bruton.

It'll be interesting to see where the 2008, 2009, and 2010 teams end up in this area.
