FSU football: 3 huge ways 2024 NFL Draft positively impacts Nole program

Restores NFL Pipeline And Destroys Other Teams Negative Recruiting
FSU had one player drafted in 2022 and one in 2023, and that's some information opposing teams tried to use on the recruiting trails against the Noles. They attempted to paint the narrative that the current coaching staff didn't have what it takes to get guys to the league. However, FSU having 10 guys drafted in this single draft kills that narrative once and for all. Also, FSU will likely have a slew of guys drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, which negates any teams trying to spin this as a one-time deal.
Mike Norvell is too classy for it, but the coaching staff could turn the tables on programs like Florida, Miami, and others. None of them had the draft FSU had, and many guys who were blue-chip recruits didn't get drafted in the top 100 picks from these programs. The beautiful thing is that FSU will finally reap the benefits of the guys Mike Norvell recruited when he first arrived at FSU getting drafted next year. Joshua Farmer, Patrick Payton, Shyheim Brown, and some offensive linemen will be in the mix to get drafted in the first 100 picks in 2025. FSU wins on the field. FSU develops their players, and they get drafted highly by NFL teams. The days of negative recruiting FSU are over.
