Message: [QUOTE="Louie and Bouie, post: 2586761, member: 793"] To the original post, since the NFL modified its draft to 7 rounds in 1994 Syracuse has had 50 draft picks in the ensuing 25 drafts or an average of 2 picks per year. The highest was 5 in 1998 and 4 in both 2001 and 2006. A substantial majority of season (19 out of 25 seasons) we have had 2 draftees or less. That we had 1 chosen in 2018 is not a revelation by any means if you look at the recent past. Its simply where this program has been for the last 25 years and unless Dino is a miracle man (the current hope by many) the strong indication is that this statistic isn't going to drastically change. So whoever is coaching better realize that they are going to have to win with an undermanned squad on a pretty regular basis or they will fail. The hope that we will somehow manage to acquire NFL talent on a consistent basis will only lead to frustration and outsized expectations. [/QUOTE]
