Game 3 ToT: New York Football Giants Draft Picks

[HRE Otto IV]

As has been proven throughout history, the best way to figure out who will win each week is the quality and number of former players drafted by the New York Football Giants. Advanced metrics have shown a strong correlation between the two. So let's take a look at the Stanford Cardinal vs the Syracuse Orangemen...

Number of Players Drafted by the Giants
Syracuse- 9
Stanford- 6
Advantage: Cuse, by a decent margin

Highest Drafted Player
Syracuse- 19th overall
Stanford- 10th overall
Advantage: Stanford, although neither pick was really worth it

Offensive Players
Syracuse- Justin Pugh OL (2013 1st Round, 19th overall), Bruce Tarbox OL (1961 2nd Round), Joe Morris RB (1982 2nd), Ryan Nassib QB (2013 4th), David Tyree WR (2003 6th), Bob Yates OL (1960 7th)

Stanford- Gordon King OL (1978 1st Round, 10th overall), Steve Thurlow RB (1964 2nd), Ed McCaffrey WR (1991 3rd), Bill Hachten OL (1947 13th)

Advantage: Cuse, not even close

Defensive Players
Syracuse- Will Allen DB (2001 1st Round), Jay Bromley DL (2014 3rd), Jerry Kimmel LB (1986 10th)

Stanford- Dave Tipton DL (1971 4th Round), Dave Lewis P (1967 5th)

Advantage: Cuse, just like this upcoming game there is no much Defense here


There you have it folks. The stats don't lie. The Syracuse Orange will win this one.

Wasn’t Ernie Davis the 1st overall pick in the 1962 NFL Draft or do I have this wrong?
