POLL OF THE DAY

Which of the following facts about CU and the NFL Draft do you find to be the most surprising?

That CU has had not one, but two, "Mr. Irrelevants". It's strange to have a player be the last pick of the draft, but to have two? Way to find your way into the history books, Buffs!
That CU has the most NFL Draft picks of any current Big 12 team, and by a wide margin (almost 40 more than Kansas State, which is second in the Big 12 in NFL picks). Take that, Big 12!
That last year Travis Hunter became the seventh Buff to be taken in the Top Ten of the Draft. After the last 20 years of poor play, it's hard to remember CU having that many star players
