FCS Draft Picks by school since 2010

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Where is the Patriot League right now in developing draftable talent? Four players in the last 29 years.

Last Draft Pick
Bucknell...2017 (prior to 2017, 1969)
Lehigh...2011
Fordham...2010
Holy Cross...1989
Colgate...1988
Lafayette...1987
Georgetown...1945

Based on the numbers it's obvious not many FCS players get drafted. So I don't see to much of an issue with the PL's number. Lehigh, Colgate and Fordham have had elite FCS talent in recent years. If a certain players is good enough to get drafted, awesome. If they're good enough to earn a camp spot great. If their degree gets them a great job just as well.

Spadola might have been a late rounder if not for twitter gate. As it turned out, he managed to see some regular season action as a UDFA. I'm surprised Pelletier is not getting more love. He seems like a next level talent to me. TP is bigger than Spadola is.

Spadola was 50/50 and I doubt Twitter effected it. Sometimes the draft just does not go in your favor.

Bad pro day for Troy hurt. He measured 6'3, 217 pounds with a 4.66 and 4.72 40. 31.5 VJ, 9'4 BJ, 4.44 SS, 7.09 3-cone, and 14 reps. Solid player but not great athlete. Tryout or PFA for sure. I don't see any shot he gets drafted.

Tough luck for you guys losing him to graduation and Casey transferring to MTSU. Big holes left at WR.

Hey SmallCollegeFBFan,

Does Jake Wieneke look like he'll be drafted? I was pretty certain he would be until his combine/pro day performances were a little underwhelming. Will his size/production out-weigh his workout numbers?

Before this season I would have said yes, but now I don't think so.
Was he dinged up this season? He looked slow to me...

I have it on good authority there is at least 1 team very high on him and would want to grab him no later than the 6th round as they do not believe he would be there in the 7th.
