    From what most college football followers have noticed over the years. Most of the best players come from either; Florida, Texas, or California. What if an NFL organization stuck to JUST drafting/free agenting players from colleges in 3 of those states? In My opinion you would have very good year in/year out team. Now the only positions i would say wouldn't matter where you get them from: QB, K, P.

    Major Schools:

    Florida- Florida State, Florida, Miami
    Texas- Texas, Texas A&M
    California- USC, UCLA, CAL

    Now IMO, if you look over the years the calibur of players to come out of those schools.... You could cruise control to the AFC Championship game each year at minimum.

    Heck, you could build the year in year out #1 defense from just drafting from the 3 Florida schools (FSU,UF,MIA).

    True to an extent but it's still a generalization. As an nfl scout you should look at players from all over the world. I mean if we didn't we would never have signed Ben Graham. So I see what you are saying and it makes for an interesting point, but it's just not that easy.

    I agree that those states are the best, but why would you limit yourself like that? Why not take the best player regardless of where he is from?

    Sounds crazy I know but I'm just saying... :up:

    ever heard of Ohio State? 17 players going to the draft this year they always provide a lot of 1st-2nd round talent

    We better get Leinart now then, because we wont be allowed to go after Brady Quinn next year because he attends ND. Sounds like a heck of a plan.

    I guess it's safe to say your not a Notre Dame fan, but drafting from only a few select teams kind of sound like the old regime. I mean how many Hurricanes have we selected over the last number of years.
