Other than Brady Quinn, not one single skilled position player from Notre Dame was drafted in any round of the entire draft. None. Only one 2006 starter, the TE, did not graduate or turn pro and he was injured with torn knee cartilege the last 3 games.

Then consider that Quinn lost only 3 games this year, all to top 5 teams, two of those on the road.

Only one other ND offensive player was drafted, unless I missed something, and that was Ryan Harris, an OG at 287 lbs who played left tackle poorly.

Come back in three years and we'll revisit this.

I am not sure about your position about Quinn. Are you saying that he played very well, considering the lack of talent around him? Jeff Samardzija would have been drafted early in the draft this year if he didn't choose baseball.
