Did you know? - OutsiderFan - 01-13-2012
Stanford has, according to my count, 19 1st round NFL draft picks in its history. This year's NFL draft of four projected Stanford 1st rounders (Luck, Martin, DeCastro, Fleener) will represent 17% of all Stanford 1st round picks in NFL history. Only one time in NFL history has Stanford had more than one first rounder, in 1992 when Bob Whitfield went 8th and Tommy Vardell went 9th.
If Shayne Skov made it through this season intact, he might have been a 1st rounder too. Stanford will have come pretty close to having 1/5 the players its ever had drafted in the 1st round of the NFL draft, drafted this year.Â
Either this is a major anomaly or Stanford has reached some sort of tipping point to becoming a developer of top football talent. Not a bad stat to be throwing around on what seems like the biggest official visit weekend (in terms of amount of football recruit talent on campus) in Stanford history.

I get your point, and it's a good one. But let's not get ahead of ourselves in counting all four of those guys as first round picks. I'll believe it when I see it. I have some doubt that all of them actually will be first rounders.
P.S. If I recall correctly, Stanford had two first round picks in 1978 -- James Lofton and Gordon King.

Didn't Tommy Vardell and Bob Whitfield go in the first round the same year?

Vardell and Big Bob were both selected in the TOP TEN, which is pretty stunning. From what I've read Luck (obviously) and Martin (possibly) should duplicate that. DeCastro's got an outside shot, but I'm not sure about Fleener.

Yes, as OutsiderFan's post at the top of this thread mentioned, Whitfield and Vardell went 8th and 9th in the first round in 1992.
In 1978, James Lofton and Gordon King went 6th and 10th in the first round.
