Jimbo Fisher has had 36 draft picks alone in 2011-15, an average of 7.2 per season (we’re not counting the 2010 NFL draft class since Fisher took over as FSU's head coach in January 2010). FSU’s total over the last five years is second to only Alabama among ACC and SEC schools.


Jalen Ramsey, a likely top-5 pick on Thursday, would give FSU a first-round pick in four straight drafts (QB Jameis Winston in 2014, WR Kelvin Benjamin in 2014 and QB EJ Manuel, Bjoern Werner and CB Xavier Rhodes in 2013).
Among those who could be drafted this coming week¬end: Ramsey, place-kicker Roberto Aguayo, defensive linemen Nile Lawrence-Stample and Giorgio Newberry, safety Lamarcus Brutus and linebackers Reggie Northrup and Terrance Smith. Aguayo is projected as a third-round pick, while Lawrence-Stample and Smith are projected as sixth- or seventh-rounders.
