Update: (removing Jessie Clark; adding 2017 picks)
- 72 draft picks since 1936 (41 in rounds 1-7; source is wikipedia)
- 5 in the first round, and 1 overall (Bradshaw 1970); other first rounders: Roger Carr (1974, 24th overall), Willie Roaf (1993, 8), Troy Edwards (1999, 13), and Vernon Butler (2016, 31).

- 3 in the third round: Ryan Moats (2005, 77th overall), D'Anthony Smith (2010, 74), Carlos Henderson (2017, 82)
- 10 in the fourth round: Pat Tilley (1976, 114th overall), Larry Anderson (1978, 101), Johnny Robinson (1981, 111), Trey Junkin (1983, 93), Myron Baker (1993, 100), Joey Chustz (2000, 123), Luke McCown (2004, 106), Quinton Patton (2013, 128), Justin Ellis (2014, 107), Kenneth Dixon (2016, 134)

- 7 in the sixth round: Dan Irby (1966, 43rd overall), Derrick Douglas (1990, 141), Doug Evans (1993, 141), Dennis Morris (2010, 174), IK Enemkpali (2014, 210), Jeff Driskel (2016, 207), Xavier Woods (2017, 193)
- 4 in the seventh round: Mickey Slaughter (1963, 50), Bob Brunet (1968, 176), Tim Rattay (2000, 212), Jonathan Holland (2007, 254)
Maybe with a new GM and HC, things will be different. As long as someone can get the ball to Trent, I think he will be fine. Depending on the O-Line, the QB (whoever it might be) might have to make quick passes. Overall, I am optimistic about his chances in SF. With his personality, he could become a fan favorite.
While I agree with you 100%, when you throw in the fact that Chad Williams is the first player drafted from Grambling in 11 years, it makes the story even more amazing. I know we have folks on this board who only care about Louisiana Tech, and that's OK. That's their right. And while I care about Louisiana Tech more than any other college, I also think a good story is a good story. There are some amazing stories every year that come out of the NFL Draft. Chad Williams is a pretty cool story. He wasn't even invited to the NFL Combine, but he was picked in the third round.

After seeing a statement on CSNBBS, it seems there is some discrepancy between the NFL.com's numbers and Wikipedia's numbers. However, even counting the numbers without the three duplicate names of Paul Hynes (1961-AFL/NFL), JR Williamson (1964-AFL/NFL), and Jim Boudreaux (1966-AFL/NFL), I still count 73 names on the Wikipedia site, 72 by removing Jessie Clark. On the NFL site, I only count 59, 58 without including Clark.
NFL.com has all of the AFL picks which sportsdawg listed, so the discrepancies (i.e. additions) of Wikipedia over the NFL are as follows:
1. Chuck Newman 1948 (Rd17, 148 overall, WashDC Redskins)
2. Jim Lum 1954 (Rd19, 222, Chicago Bears)
3. Gordy Brown 1955 (Rd14, 158, Chicago Cardinals)
4. Pat Hinton 1957 (Rd15, 172, Green Bay Packers)
5. Tom Hinton 1958 (Rd12, 135, Chicago Cardinals)
6. Bob Hudson 1960 (Rd17, 195, Detroit Lions-NFL)
7. Tom Causey 1961 (Rd13, 99, Buffalo Bills-AFL)
8. Joe Hinton 1961 (Rd13, 104, Houston Oilers-AFL)
9. Jerry Griffin 1963 (Rd17, 134, Houston Oilers-AFL)
10. Bob Malone 1965 (Rd9, 71, Boston Patriots-AFL)
11. David Lee 1965 (Rd18, 137, Boston Patriots-AFL)
12. Dan Irby 1966 (Rd6, 43, Boston Patriots-AFL)
13. Billy Laird 1966, Rd15, 129, Boston Patriots-AFL)
Thus, I've corrected the sixth round numbers above to remove Dan Irby. With his removal and Jessie Clark's removal, we have 58 NFL/AFL picks as recognized by NFL.com, and 40 picks in rounds between rounds 1-7. Wikipedia's numbers as listed in Beardawg's previous post are accurate number wise from the info on that site.
I'm not sure where the 64 number (63 when removing Clark) that UNT found if he counted from the NFL site he linked, but it would be interesting to do the analysis for the number of picks in CUSA from only the 1-7 rounds.

- The Broncos added two receivers in the draft this year, and both Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton are locks to make the roster. This could leave a player the team was once high on out of a job. Carlos Henderson did not see the field as a rookie, spending all year on IR with a thumb injury. The 2017 third-round pick is now dealing with a hamstring malady, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic notes (subscription required). “(The injury) started in Phase 2 and hasn’t gotten better,” Vance Joseph said, via Jhabvala. “He’s got to get back on the field if he wants to make this football team.” Denver also has Jordan Taylor and Isaiah McKenzie vying for roster spots, with one of those two likely sticking around as the primary return man. Henderson produced eye-popping numbers at Louisiana Tech, and it would be a tad early for a team to give up on a third-rounder, but the slot target could be in danger of being cut by his first NFL team without having played in a regular-season game.
