To no one’s surprise, the Hoosiers didn’t have a player picked in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night. Indiana didn’t have any first-round talent available for the draft so it was assumed that the drought would continue.
With no Hoosiers being selected in the first round it made it 26 years in a row where Indiana was shut out of the first round. In 2010 Rodger Saffold came close as he was picked with the first pick on the second round by the Rams.
During their drought, the Hoosiers have had eight players picked in the second round.
