Morning Buzz: The NFL Draft Starts Today With/Without USC

SIMPSON.YARY

Do you want an illustration of USC’s dominance during the late 1960’s? The picture above features offensive lineman Ron Yary, the No. 1 pick in the 1968 NFL draft. And tailback O.J. Simpson, the No. 1 pick in the 1969 NFL draft.

Since USC is not expected to have a first-round draft pick today, here are the schools with the most-first-round picks since 1967, the first draft after the AFL/NFL merger.

1. USC, 68

2. Miami, 58

3. Ohio State, 56

4. Florida, 46

    • Duuuhh… .It’s #UCLA currently sitting at #22 in the SB*Nation “Way too early polls”… .

      Tells us again how Tua was a #ClownU lock lol…

      #ClownU

      • I bet defending that inbound pass under 3sec. made you a proud #Trogan.. .lol 3sec left!

        So will you be watching Myles “FREAKIN” Jack get drafted in the 1st rnd??

        • Watching #1 USC send so many first rounders to the NFL over the years, it’s very unusual to not have one, like this year. No big deal. Didn’t matter remotely against your crap team last season as USC annihilated Troll U and made all your players’ parents cry in the Coliseum. Your hoops team is beyond crap and crooked Chianti Dan is in the negative headlines every day now. Fight, Fight, Fight little gutty boy. It’s doing you so much good.

          • So is that a yes??

            “Negative headlines” like Dixon sentenced to 6yrs negative, or like Patty Haden coming down to the field to defend his boozing HCoach negative?

            #Oh

          • And he’ll still get drafted before any #ClownU prospect hahaha.. .Sad day for #overhypedU!! remember Kessler once thought as a Heisman hopeful 7th to free agent(undraftable) lol… .#BabyLB the crown jewel at #YesterdayU

            #CANTWAIT

          • This will just keep ucla in the “mediocre” group of schools with first rounders. Nothing will ever change that. Hah, hah, hah. Kessler killed interception machine Rosen. Hah, hah, hah

          • Yeah tell that to PROBowler ABarr 1st rnd, Rookie of the Year EKendricks 2nd rnd.. .just step off the ledge already lol!

            #Shawstyle

          • Leonard Williams just had a great rookie NFL season and was drafted ahead of both Barr and Kendricks. Will you ever stop leading with your little gutty chin?

          • LWilliams drafter year after ABarr(ProBowler) #Trogan what year are we in lol… EK 2nd rnd draft and still has the same accolade as LW…

            #Justjump

          • USC leads the world with 68 first rounders since ’67. ucla has a paltry 24.

            USC has 19 since 2000. ucla has (cough) only 5.

            Both past and present, USC obliterates the little gutties. That must be why we all call you the little gutties.

          • That’s why Uncle Wolfman calls #ClownU #YesterdayU

            “Here is the underappreciated USC QB Mike Rae (6) leading the offense against Stanford in 1972. Rae was the starting QB on perhaps USC’s greatest team.”

            Do you have that stats for #NFLBust since 2000?

            #Shawstyle

          • Rosen will ultimately be an NFL 1st round draft choice.

            Kessler will be lucky to sign an Arena FB Free Agent contract.

          • Has Barkley’s shoulder healed yet, and why do his Cardinal teammates call him Alligator?

      • Mushy, please name 1 (just 1) former bozo u QB to start a Super Bowl. Take your time Mushy.

  1. Please explain how all season we read about how USC has the best talent in PAC 12 and than when it comes time for the ultimate judge of talent NFL draft we see the true picture. I think the line used during the season was that any PAC 12 coach would switch with USC in terms of talent. USC has had mid level PAC 12 talent due to poor recruiting choices and sanctions and is just getting back to a higher level of talent.

    • And USC us suppose to have the toughest schedule in college football in 2016, and I’m still trying to figure out why. Because the Pac 12 is weak, so stop believing to stupid , media hype about SC’S talent, and tough schedule.

  2. The past…. is the past man, what does it have to do with today and this USC program? Your question should be, why has Max Nikias thrown the USC football program under the bus with his choice of Haden as AD? You see what the results have been. It should say he has made the importance of the football program an afterthought in naming the AD as a “political favor” to then trustee Haden who supported Nikias as president. Ricky Ellison was so right about this! I kind of feel as long as Nikias is president, USC football will be an afterthought (unless Swann proves me wrong which I hope happens).

  3. “It’s not about the X’s and the O’s…its about the Jimmy’s and the Joe’s”..

  4. Why is Andyain’twinning still beating the bushes for recruits for the 2016 – 17 season?

    UCLA is working on its 2018 class.

    I understand andyain’twinning is now touring the Borneo jungles searching for athletic pygmies.
