9 Bearcats drafted through 6 rounds... That's two more than Bama and second only to Georgia.

And not even all diehards. Id think Im a diehard NFL fan cause I watch every TNF, SNF, MNF and most games on Sunday (unless I'm working).

But I watch it all for fantasy and gambling. I dont watch much college, so I'm clueless about 95% of guys drafted.

I’m a semi-diehard.   Watched every minute of the first round.

Tried telling everyone from the beginning that this year's UC team was different and had enough NFL talent to compete with and beat anyone in the country. 

The craziest part is that 8 of the 9 drafted were mid to low 3* prospects coming out of high school. Bryan Cook didn't have a rating at all and just went in the 2nd round. 

Fick needs to upgrade the talent level on the offensive line to truly compete with the elite programs on the field, but I think this is just the beginning of UC putting a lot of guys in the league regularly. There's 5 or 6 on next year's roster that probably get drafted too.

Correct. While UC was really good, you could tell there was still a difference - particularly up front - between them and the biggest of boys. I am still not sure Juice wasn't the best player in the draft.

OL was definitely the difference in last year's game against UGA and the CFP match up against Bama. 

UC and Fick have now brought in and developed NFL talent at every position on both sides of the ball.

This draft alone, we saw QB, RB, WR, DL, DE, LB, CB, and S all drafted. Next step in Fick's talk of becoming a "Top 10 Program" is adding OL to that list regularly.

And I think you meant Sauce...not Juice.

Correct. The few times I saw UC play, he jumped out to me above anyone else on the field.
