Lot’s of SEC Players Being Taken in This Draft

[GO4INLALALAND]

It is shocking the number of SEC players being taken in these early rounds of the draft. LSU seems to have a player picked every time I look at the TV. I guess that’s why the SEC is always considered the top conference.

I expect the big 10 numbers to improve based on the recruiting that Fleck’s doing.

Would be interesting to see these numbers if you took out players from the following teams due to blueblood status:
Alabama
LSU
Ohio State
Michigan
Oklahoma
Clemson
Florida State


I suspect the conferences are pretty even with the exception of the SEC Bluebloods having a few more than the other bluebloods combined with the fact that the SEC has 4 contenders over the years while the other leagues have 1 or 2.

These numbers don’t mean Auburn is better than Minnesota.


I do think the SEC is as has been the best league over the past 10-15 years...I also think the gap is closer than some would have you think.

First 3 rounds:

SEC = 40 Picks

B1G = 17 Picks

With SEC they have Alabama and Auburn getting a lot, but every school seems to have at least 1 player drafted. B1G has only - 6 schools with a player drafted in 1st 3 rds. vs SEC with 13 of 14 schools getting at least 1 player drafted (Ole Miss only school missing).
