Maybe that's what coach T was trying to allude to when he said he hopes Santonio sticks to that philosophy thru his NFL career  .

IIRC, Ohio State is tied with ND for the 2nd most 1st round picks... not TSUN...

I had the pleasure to hear JT speak this morning for the first time. What a wonderful experience!! I highly recommend to anyone who has not had the opportunity to make all efforts to attend a dunction where he speaks.
The man speaks so fluently, its truly unbelievable. Leadership, action, belief in one's self - he covered them all. I can now see why he seems so calm on the sidelines during the heat of battle or when things look dire.
I walked away ready to take on the world. Hell, I was ready to walk-on to the team this spring.

1st Round Picks - All Drafts in Pro Football History
USC -- 69
Notre Dame -- 62
Miami (Fl) -- 60
tOSU -- 59
sCUM -- 41 (Oh boy does that hurt!!)
We could easily overtake Miami (FL) this year and certainly (as ND has no-one meriting 1st round picks status) ND.
As for sCUM- ya kidding me .
NFL Draft history is where I pulled this from.
NFL.com also has the picks archived, but only for the more modern era of the NFL - from 1982 through 2005.
This gives a more skewed picture of Miami (FL) first round picks as this includes the three eras when they had stocked teams.
1982-2005 1st Round Picks
Miami - 45
USC -30
Ohio State 28
Notre Dame 20
sCUM 20
So, there is a tie somewhere in there, between sCUM and ND.
I know that somewhere there is another database that covers all the AFC & NFC drafts from the inception of their merger - I can't find it now though.
EDIT - Perhaps this will suffice. Answer was staring me in the face all the time
Take 1967 as the first combined draft, so the "true" NFL

the leagues agreed to play an annual AFL-NFL World Championship Game beginning in January, 1967, and to hold a combined draft, also beginning in 1967

That gives the following numbers from this slice of history
Since 1967
USC - 57
Miami - 56
OSU - 46
ND - 37
sCUM - 33
Sorry, but the battle ie between Ohio State and USC and Miami, the others are not likely to catch up any time soon.

If you look at those numbers since 2000, we have to be dominating.

Watching the Michigan State vs Ohio State '05 game and forgot that Jim Tressel doesn't like instant replay. Seems a bit odd......

Rowe: Tressel's words of wisdom
Ohio State football coach says we all need a ‘sense of connectedness.’
By KERMIT ROWE COMMENTARY
One thing you quickly discover about Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel is he can see “the big picture.” Many go through life thinking about nothing but their desires and what is in front of their eyes.
