Also strange (well, assuming the author wanted to do an honest job) is that the author doesn't take into account draft position. Shayne Skov, for example, is "not rosterable" -- but then again, why would you expect an undrafted player to be rosterable?

The really interesting thing then, from my perspective, is why Stanford seems to have so many great players that the NFL is rather cool on. Maybe other teams have fewer great players who fit this description, but my casual impression is no.

If someone has time they could look through the past N all-conference lists and compare the draft position of the players listed based on the school. Could be elucidating. I definitely don't know enough about other teams' rosters to have a solid idea of whether this is something unique to us or fairly common.

Amuse yourselves with the ongoing envious and insecure wing-flapping over at 59er Insider regarding our big men...and how they mysteriously are never able to continue their dominance in the pros.

What about All Pro guard David DeCastro?

The article grants DeCastro as an "impact player", but claims he's our only one (of the "big men", because clearly there are more impact Stanford players than that).
