A little trivia for ya.

The 2011 NFL draft marked the 8th time that multiple CU players were taken in the first round. There was a year when 3 buffs were taken in the first round, what year was it?
 
i would have thought is was the '95 draft. didnt 10 players from that '94 team get drafted in '95?
 
**** you...damn it...I've literally gone through 50 years worth of first rounds on Wikipedia, and I'm not going to do it again. I didn't find three 1st rounders...
"Asking the audience" (see poll) will actually get you the right answer here...
 
3 from CU, 2 from Wyoming, and 1 from CSU all in the first round that year? That was a helluva year for talent out of the front range.
