Cooper Kupp - 5th pick round 3 to LA Rams
Curious, what's the highest pick ever for a Big Sky player?
I suspect that, far in the past, the Big Sky has had some high picks. But over the last ten years (2007-2016), here's what I found (pro-football-reference.com):
065 Trumaine Johnson, DB, UM (2012)
085 Ramses Barden, WR, Cal Poly (2009)
111 Miles Killebrew, SS, SUU (2016)
125 Taiwan Jones, RB, EWU (2011)
129 Julius Thomas, TE, PSU (2011)
133 David Hale, T, WSU (2008)
135 Matt Johnson, DB, EWU (2012)
139 Brandon Burton, DB, SUU (2011)
154 Kroy Biermann, LB, UM (2008)
157 LeShawn Sims, CB, SUU (2016)
171 Jordan Tripp, LB, UM (2014)
171 Shann Schillinger, DB, UM (2010)
179 Caleb Schlauderaff, G, SUU (2011)
181 Tyrone Holmes, OLB, UM (2016)
182 Adam Hayward, LB, PSU (2007)
204 Lex Hilliard, RB, UM (2008)
212 Courtney Brown, DB, Cal Poly (2007)
214 J. D. Folsom, LB, WSU (2009)
221 Brad Sorensen, QB, SUU (2013)
222 Caleb McSurdy, LB, UM (2012)
222 Marc Mariani, WR, UM (2010)
225 Jake Rodgers, T, EWU (2015)
226 Mitchell Van Dyk, OL, PSU (2014)
235 Jimmy Wilson, DB, UM (2011)
239 Michael Person, G, MSU (2011)
252 Beau Sandland, TE, MSU (2016)
255 Tim Toone, WR, WSU (2010)
Some memorable names on that list. (Yes, I might have missed someone ... but I hope not.
)
