[Husker] 3 First Rounders?!?!?!? (fwd)

[Mike Jaixen]

I'm skeptical as well that all three will end up in
the 1st round, but you have to love the possibility
that they all could go in the first round.

Notre Dame hasn't had multiple #1 draft picks since
1994, and that's after the season where they
complained that they were more deserving than a 12-0
Nebraska team to play Florida State in the Orange Bowl
for the MNC.  Since then, they've only had 3 #1 picks:
1997, 1999, and 2003.

If someone wants to mine through the NFL draft history
of recent years, here's the records:

As for other Huskers to be drafted, I bet at least 1
more goes.  My candidates are Mike Erickson, Ira
Cooper, and  Benard Thomas.  Just a gut feel on my
part; a lot of people weren't expecting Scott Shanle
or Jammal Lord to get drafted either.
