North Carolina had more players drafted during Butch Davis' tenure than in the previous decade. Miami was more consistent. You only have to go back roughly 7 years (1988) to match the same draft total of Davis' tenure.
After Butch Davis players left, it wouldn’t be until 2017 than North Carolina would have a player taken in the NFL Draft (Mitch Trubisky QB Rd1 - Chicago Bears)
During the same time period Butch Davis was at North Carolina (2006 to 2011), Miami had three fewer players drafted (27). Only one of them - Kenny Phillips in 2008 - would be a first round pick. North Carolina had 7 first round picks during the same period.
