SEC: The dominant conference
Of the 254 picks, about one quarter (63), were drafted out of SEC schools. Thatās eight more picks than any other conference in a single draft ever.
Itās the seventh straight draft the SEC has led all conferences in players selected.

The SEC had four more defensive players drafted than any conference had total players drafted.
LSU, Alabama, Florida and Georgia combined for 34 players drafted. No other conference had more than 31.
LSU had eight defensive players drafted (all in the first five rounds of the draft). Only Texas in 1984 had more defensive players taken in any draft.
The SEC had 32 more players drafted than the second-ranked conference (ACC). That is the biggest disparity in picks between the top two conferences in any draft.
The previous high was 19 when the Pac-10 had 55 picks and the Big Ten had 36.
But it was Florida State from the ACC that led all schools with 11 picks, the most in school history. Rutgers had the next-most among non-SEC schools with seven, more than any other school in the conference it will eventually join, the Big Ten.
