NFL Draft: Which Power 5 Programs Have the Longest Draft Droughts?

NFL Draft: Which Power 5 Programs Have the Longest Draft Droughts?

Fifty-six different Power Five programs had a player selected in the 2017 NFL Draft. Three of the 10 programs that did not have a draft pick also didn't have a draftee in 2016. And one didn't have a selection in 2015 either.

It's Kansas. 

Kidding. The Jayhawks aren't the answer to every futility- or drought-based question. The longest NFL Draft drought belongs to a Big 12 foe, Iowa State. They are the only one of the 66 Power Five programs without a draft pick each of the last three years. While receiver Allen Lazard — and potentially others — should end the Cyclones' three-year streak, for now they still hold the dubious distinction.

Kansas and Duke are tied for the second-longest draft droughts, with three and two selections, respectively, in the 2015 drafts. And seven teams have gone just one year without a draftee, among them Arizona, Maryland and South Carolina.

Here is the full list of the 10 longest active NFL Draft droughts among Power Five teams:

Team Conference Last Draft Pick
Iowa State Big 12 2014
Duke ACC 2015
Kansas Big 12 2015
Arizona Pac-12 2016
Kentucky SEC 2016
Maryland Big Ten 2016
Rutgers Big Ten 2016
South Carolina SEC 2016
Syracuse ACC 2016
Virginia ACC 2016
