<![CDATA[Football Talent]]>Here's another way to evaluate where KU Football stands: The NFL draft.

First Round:
Texas Tech #2
ASU #8
Utah #9 Off Tackle / Utah #28 Off Tackle
ASU #21 (OT)
UCF #23
Second Round:
Ariz #38
Texas Tech #43
Misery #46 And #46
Texas Tech #49
TCU #64
Third Round:
Texas Tech #70
Texas Tech #75
Misery #77
ISU #82
Misery #93

Just being realistic about the football program. You cannot win without talent.

I believe the first time was 2009 when everyone came back. DP is likely the only pick and most have him dropping down to 4-7 in the latest mock drafts. I feel like if you don’t have at least two maybe 3 first round guys, you ain’t getting to the Natty. Sadly next season will be the same Kohl is still likely a year away from the NBA and I don’t see anyone else we have on the current roster getting picked. If we get Stokes it will be only him. Sad to say but no chance Kansas wins anything in BB next season.

It’s their world, we’re just playing in it.

Taken by the 49ers, who seem very happy with Puni whom they drafted 2 years ago from KU. Cruz at #179 was taken 79 spots sooner than his ESPN everall rank of 258. Henderson was 75 spots sooner than his ESPN rank. But in The Beast on Athletic, Henderson jumped up 100 spots from Dane's #299 assessment. (That writeup was pretty brutal....)
