If the Big 12 didn't exactly have a NFL draft bonanza the past season, the conference is improving on sending players to the next level.
The Big 12 had 26 players taken in the draft, including top overall pick Kyler Murray. The SEC (of course) led everyone with 64 players taken. Based on number of members, the Big 12 averaged 2.60 per school, ahead of the ACC and not far behind the Big Ten and Pac-12.
It's appreciably better than the 20 players picked last year or the cringe-inducing 14 in 2017. The league is trending in the right direction.
