1st round buffs

[Unleash Hell]

A little trivia for ya.

The 2011 NFL draft marked the 8th time that multiple CU players were taken in the first round. There was a year when 3 buffs were taken in the first round, what year was it?

92?

Answer comes when second round of draft starts tonight, so vote away what you think it is.

Yes, 10. Those were the days.

**** you...damn it...I've literally gone through 50 years worth of first rounds on Wikipedia, and I'm not going to do it again. I didn't find three 1st rounders...

We had Florida, Texas type talent for the majority of the 90's. we WERE an elite team!

"Asking the audience" (see poll) will actually get you the right answer here...

Had some very talented players in the early '70's as well.

3 from CU, 2 from Wyoming, and 1 from CSU all in the first round that year? That was a helluva year for talent out of the front range.
