Scout says on a scale of "A" - "C" Tennessee is a "C" school in talent.

Bad and sad. Guess Botch set is back further than expected.

Way further back than many want to admit.

He CAN'T be drafted. Read the article.

What article? There's never been a link to an article provided.

One thing to consider is that this info isn’t as much of news as it is just echoing what we’ve all been saying. Does our team have the talent to be an A school? Yes. But from an NFL scout perspective, this talent has not been coached up to a degree where they are ready for the big leagues.

1. Absolutely based off class rankings.

2. That's the problem with Lyle, couldn't coach or develop talent a lick.

Not counting Trey. This is an NFL scout - only focusing on guys that can possibly jump next year. I imagine Warrior and JJ will get longer looks as Seniors, as well as Trey as a 3-year guy. This is basically saying guys like Tuttle, KP, AJ, etc. aren't getting much interest. Not too surprising.

Yep. That's exactly what I was thinking. Tennessee was a C school last year and will be this year too.

Just as recently as 2016 we were an A school (had 6 guys drafted, including a 1st rounder and a guy who became OROY).

Interesting. I knew there was a reason why I stopped reading Scout a couple of years ago.

I bet over the last 10 years Alabama has by far put the most players in the NFL. Love to see the stat, but i bet it's pretty lopsided. It really is about the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Saban is a great coach, but he also has the best roster in college football year in and year out. The C grade is probably good for Tennessee, not pumping out the quality it once did, you see the drop off in wins. You got to have players, i don't care how good a coach you are.

It's about recruiting and development. Not just one or the other.

LSU actually has more guys in the NFL right now than Alabama, and more than any other school. LSU has the most RBs, WRs (tied with Ohio St and Oklahoma), DLs, and DBs drafted into the NFL. The talent they have is staggering. But where are their 5 national titles in 10 years?

Which programs have the most NFL draft picks in past 10 years?
