The league had 54 players selected last year, the ninth year in a row it led the way among conferences. The SEC has had a national-best 246 picks in the past five drafts. Second-most among conferences in that span is the ACC, with 185.
And over the past five drafts, the SEC has had 50 first-rounders – almost twice as many as any other league. In second is the ACC with 26.
Here is a look at the most recent first-rounder for each SEC school.

WR Amari Cooper, Oakland (4th pick overall)
