i just did a quick search on what year was our best as far as draft picks and i guessed '83 but was wrong. in 1981, we had 12 players drafted. That's insane. Now yes, the draft doesn't have that many rounds but even if you take the 11th rd pick out, we had 11 go in the first 5 rounds. 3 first Rounders.
that's all. just thought it was impressive..
