MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The Lunch scoured the metadata of the 2016 NFL draft and distilled a few nuggets:
— The Big 12 had 25 players drafted, by far the fewest of the Power 5 leagues. The SEC led with with 54 picks, followed by the ACC (47), the Pac-12 (39) and the Big Ten (35). Membership disparities played a role, obviously, because the Big 12 actually matched the Big Ten in picks per school, with 2.5 each.
— Baylor led the Big 12 with six picks, though we won’t allow Art Briles to take credit for Rico Gathers.
