Inspired by Koreandawgs most #1 draft picks thread. What is the best draft class your school has produced?

If its based only on the draft results I think it has to be 2010 for the Sooners. That may be the best based on careers as well considering it has 3 multi-year probowlers.

Round 1 Pick 1 - Sam Bradford (QB)
Round 1 Pick 3 - Geral McCoy (DT)
Round 1 Pick 4 - Trent Williams (T)
Round 1 Pick 21 - Jermaine Gresham (TE)
Round 4 Pick 23 - Keenan Clayton (LB)
Round 5 Pick 4 - Dominique Franks (DB)
Round 5 Pick 31 - Brody Eldridge (TE)

The best offense in America last season has 2 going top 5. Rumor is JD5 will go #2 behind Williams

Probably 2010. 3 future Pro Bowlers (Haden, Maurkice Pouncey, Dunlap).

Ronnie Brown
Caddy Williams
Carlos Rogers
Jason Campbell

7th Round:
Jay Ratliff

UDFA:
Marcus McNeil
Ben Grubbs

Dawson Knox in the 3rd.
Then Javon Patterson and Ken Webster in the 7th.

Nah. We had 3 first rounders in 2016 between Tunsil, Treadwell and Nkemdiche

I was thinking more in terms of production, having the receiving trio there and what they've accomplished in the League.

I agree though on paper the 2016 class was better.

For UGA based on when players were picked it was probably 2022.

Round 1 pick 1 - Trayvon Walker
Round 1 pick 13 - Jordan Davis
Round 1 pick 22 - Quay Walker
Round 1 pick 28 - Devonte Wyatt
Round 1 pick 32 - Lewis Cine
Round 2 - George Pickens
Round 2 - James Cook
Round 3 - Nakobe Dean
Round 3 - Channing Tindall
Round 4 - Zamir White
Round 4 - Jake Camarda
Round 6 - Justin Shaeffer
Round 6 - Jamaree Salyer
Round 6 - Derion Kendrick
Round 6 - John Fitzpatrick


That class is still too young to judge on performance really. They do have a pro-bowler (Cook) and several guys who've cemented roles as starters. None have been cut by the team that drafted them yet.

Would have to guess 2020 for LSU, highlighted by:

Burrow
Jefferson
Queen
Delpit
Cushenberry
Fulton

Some Pro Bowlers and several starters.
