How to read it

NFL picks count players from each school's 2006–2020 signing classes, every position. The number under it is that school's signees in those classes, the denominator.
The 2019 and 2020 classes have had fewer drafts than the rest (and the 2020 class an extra year of eligibility after the 2020 season), so their picks are still arriving. Schools with many signees in those classes will rise.
A rate is shown only as its 95% lower bound, so a school with two signees and one pick cannot rank above one with a hundred signees and twenty picks.
Multi-year starters are measured for FBS signees in the 2006–2021 classes. Offensive linemen, long snappers and defenders before 2016 have no measure, and the denominator leaves them out rather than counting them as zeros.
Only players who signed with FBS or FCS programs are counted. Signees to Division II, III and NAIA programs are excluded from every count and denominator here.
A player is credited to the high school on his recruiting profile. Where he transferred in college does not change the count.
