[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 501147"] How many owners/GMs/head coaches in 1970 are still owners or in the same job today? I believe the answer is "none" other than the owners of the Green Bay Packers. The point being, the analysis would be more relevant if the stats were limited to more recent years; a preference would be a function of the pickers not the "franchise". That said, it would appear TT has a spot in his heart for California colleges, particularly USC. The older stats likely skew a bit toward geographies closest to the franchise...going back a few decades, it was not uncommon for teams to lean toward the "local hero" and guys who could be easily scouted within driving distance for mid-to-low round picks. With the scouting consortiums, starting in the late '70s (e.g., BLESTO) and then the Combine itself, not to mention the availability of tape from far and wide and its ease of use with technological advancement, the geographic bias is largely a thing of the past.
