Amazingly almost none, I made a thread about how they have overrated draft picks just the other week.

Only 1 pick from USC after the 2003 draft, that had Carson Palmer and Troy Palamalu in it, has made the pro bowl. That includes 9 first round picks. (excluding this year of course).

I have a hard time buying into Carson Palmer he is said to be one of the best QBs in the league, but haven't really proved it IMO

Lofa Tatupu was drafted in 2005 and was a Pro Bowler 2005, 2006, 2007. (On second glance, I assume that's who you were referring to -- but damn, he's good.)

Yeah that's who I was talking about in my post. He was picked in the 2nd round and has outperformed all the 1st round picks from USC.

Most of the USuC guys don't play as well in the NFL because they're pissed they had to take a pay cut.

Before we go and trash USC again (and I understand how much fun it is, hehe) realize how few NFL players make the pro bowl... and it isn't many! The NFL Draft almost seems to be a reflection of top schools and their performance during the past few years.

Should the question we ask after seeing the draft pick numbers be "How well did each of those teams do with all of their NFL-caliber talent?"

There are a few schools that have done pretty well in college considering their lack of draft picks.

Jammal Brown has been to 2 pro bowls atleast and Davin Joseph was in it just last year.

I got the info off the NFL website. If I omitted Sooners I apologize. The point I was trying to make was that "all that glitters is not gold."

O definitely, which is why I don't understand all the hoopla over USC picks still. The majority of them don't produce for how high they are taken in each and every draft. Yet every year they have someone getting an insane amount of hype before the draft, this year being Mark Sanchez.

This year they finally started saying something about the bust coming from USC on the offensive side of the ball.
