How to read the board

Start with the school leaderboard — sort by total picks, first-rounders, Pro Bowls, or the last ten drafts.
Use the round, conference, and position chips to isolate a pipeline, like SEC defensive backs in Round 1.
Open a program for its full draft board, or a year for the complete class in pick order.

First round vs. career outcomes

Volume and quality are different signals. A program can lead in raw picks while another turns fewer selections into more Pro Bowlers. The Pro Bowler rate next to each school shows how often its picks became long-term NFL contributors, so read it alongside the Round 1 column rather than instead of it.
