The first three rounds of the NFL draft were a smorgasbord of Southeastern Conference success. From the first pick to the 106th, from quarterbacks to linemen, from offense to defense, the league force-fed its dominance to the nation. College football fans already dealing with SEC fatigue were handed another spoonful to digest Thursday and Friday.
Actually, 40 spoonfuls. That’s how many SEC players were drafted, out of 106 total picks, by far the most ever from a single conference through three rounds. It was an endless wave of SEC names and highlights rolling by, and it almost assuredly guarantees one other thing: this trend will continue.
