Quote:I agree with you that FSUs record isn't much better, but I didn't really suggest taking any of them either, now did I? And on that list several of them have had solid if not spectacular careers. I wonder if a few of those guys might've been better in one of these Gus-type schemes that use smaller, lighter pass rushers. Wilson and Reynolds were both unsuited to either traditional DE or outside 'backer like Boulware, but they seem more like what we're searching for in a LEO. Wadsworth was on his way to a great career when his knees gave out, that's too bad because that Cards D with him and Rice was fun to watch for a brief time. Eisley might be that same kind of guy, he looked decent this year but his knees are already so bad that he's probably not long for the league.

 

I won't take the time to compare lost value between the two schools on first round picks, but clearly the Noles have a better % of HOF careers in the time period you're evaluating. I think we can both agree that the history of QB play from those schools leaves a lot to be desired at the next level. It's interesting to me that these two power programs had so many misses while they were both so strong, but Miami keeps putting out great NFL players while their program is awful.
