Draft Not Kind to WVU

Draft Not Kind to WVU Players
WVU was left out in the cold by NFL teams around the county. Only one Mountaineer was drafted and he was not even the best player available. Alton McCann was taken in the 6th round (179) by the Detroit Lions. This left Jahmile Addae and Mike Lorello looking for free agent contracts when they were much better than McCann. This also leaves in question the developement of WVU's football team.
Looks like they are good to play in college but the talent is not being developed for the next level. Compared to the Buckeyes, my favorite team, they ar eway behind in NFL skills as no less than 9 OSU players were selected. Including 1st round picks AJ Hawk (5), Donte Whitner (8), Bobby Carpenter (18), Santonio Holmes (25) and Nick Mangold (29). Now thats developing talent for the next level.
