NFL draft history: Syracuse ranks just behind Miami and USC
The Associated Press looked back at every player taken at each spot in the first round of the NFL draft since the ''common draft'' began in 1967. This pick-by-pick approach compared all the No. 1s to each other, the No. 2s ... all the way to the Nos. 32s. Syracuse has 3 players on the list (Little, Monk and Harrison). Only USC and Miami had more at 4 each. And the list doesn't include Jim Brown because he was before the common draft, but he and Floyd Little were both #6 picks so they couldn't both make the list anyway. I guess it means we have had a good history of our 1st round picks living up to expectations.
