    Top Picks in Big 3 from your town/HS

    I'm going to brag a bit - fellow Marietta Blue Devil Dansby Swanson was the #1 pick tonight. This is a huge deal for the program, which has to play against some unreal competition every year. When I was the SS for MHS, we toiled in mediocrity, and rarely had anyone play after HS. So big night for those living west of the Big Chicken.

    It got me to thinking - who are the top draft picks in the big 3 from my school?
    Marietta High School
    Baseball: Dansby Swanson, #1 Diamondbacks
    Football: Eric Zeier, 3rd round, Browns
    Basketball: Dale Ellis, 9th overall, Mavericks

    To connect it to MSU - I'll go local-
    Brunswick (BHS & Glynn Academy)
    Baseball: Adam Wainwright, 1st round, Braves
    Football: Darius Slay, 2nd round, Lions
    Basketball: Kwame Brown, #1 overall, Wizards

    So, who yall got???

    Are we counting if they went to college in our hometown?
    Edit:
    Baseball: Ed Easley
    Football: Stephen Gostkowski(if we're counting having attended college here),
    Basketball:Penny Hardaway

    Being from Kosciusko, can I claim Roy Oswalt? In football, Marc Woodard representin'. In basketball we suck pretty bad, might have to claim one of those Durant boys from back in the day.

    Derrick McKey 9th pick
    Kenyatta Walker 14th pick
    Not so sure about baseball. Maybe Brian Cole in the 18th round.
    Could try and steal Jay Powell from West Lauderdale (19th pick)

    Football-Steve McNair
    Basketball-Randolph Keys
    Baseball-Billy Hamilton (Born in Collins)

    We have to stretch out my former hometown some. But at one time had 4 NFL players from Covington Co and three from Collins. A town of 2,500 or so.

    From Brandon High School

    Football - Jerious Norwood in the 3rd round to Atlanta in 2006.

    Baseball - I think Barry Wesson is the highest we have had drafted. He went in the 14th round to Houston in 1995.

    Basketball - I do not know if we have ever had any one drafted. I am pretty sure we haven't in the last 30 years. Tyler Adams would have been the best chance if he hadn't had medical problems at Georgetown.
