Question for the AKB, how does NFL draft performance play into each school's recruiting pitches? We know that elite high school talent want to attend schools where the chance of getting to the NFL is provably high, and where academic requirements are, let's just say, not very demanding.
Alabama can claim 11 players going to the NFL, with 6 going in the 1st round. Ohio State had 14 players going to the NFL, with Justin Fields going in the 1st round.
Penn State had 6 draftees, plus Lamont Wade to the Steelers, and with 2 1st round picks.
Was Penn State helped by this draft as far as recruiting is concerned, or are they an also-ran?
