I suppose this helps but ISU has also had lots of guys get drafted despite being overall pretty average over the past decade+.
What Iowa State players have a chance of being drafted in the next few years?

"lots"?
ISU has averaged just over 1 draft pick per year this century.
Freyler gets torched sometimes, but makes up for it in the run game. Not something that translates to the NFL well.
I bet Freyler hangs em up after his last snap at ISU. The kids shoulder is pulled pork
You mean they had a pretty average college career at ISU and got drafted anyways? Sorry, just not sure I understand what you are getting at.
Especially he would be generally asked to cover, at minimum, half the field instead of a third.
It definitely helps. There are some guys that get drafted at the end of the draft that have no business getting drafted over others. The reason, a lot of times, they do is because of where they played college.
I believe 86 of the 257 picks made were from the CFP committee final ranking top 10.
Obviously those teams are going to have good players on them, but if a NFL team is going to select a fringe player, they are more than likely going to select them from a team that was good as opposed to a team that was average.
ISU has been pretty average and still had guys getting drafted in the early rounds.
'Lots' isn't correct but it's been more frequent.
Your last part is basically the same thing.
Since ISU has been average, they have less players get drafted than good teams because they have less good players.
Sort of. My point was, if Alabama and Iowa State had a player that had identical stats and tested exactly the same at pro days/combines, the Alabama player would almost certainly get drafted sooner, probably a full round or two, and that is only because they played for Alabama. The players aren’t necessarily better, but the perception of the player is skewed significantly based on the college they played for.
I think Higgins is absolutely a likely draftee.
Since elite running backs are no longer 1st/2nd round picks that often...doesn't an inverse have to be true that teams would take a lot of late round picks and stock up on gifted running backs hoping they catch lightning in a bottle? I mean it's an important position and every team needs a lot, I'd think if the goal is to not pay them much because they get hurt the ideal thing would be load up on late draft picks hoping you catch a decent one every year or two.
Admitted NFL draft moron here.

Pretty sure I heard on one of the pods that he was seriously considering this year.
