Title: ESPN: Five first-rounders for Alabama? Post by: pmull on March 08, 2012, 11:26:57 AM ESPN NFL draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay both have five Alabama players going in the first round in their latest mock drafts, which would set an SEC record.
Alabama had four players taken in the first round of last year's draft. LSU also produced four first-round selections in the 2007 draft as did Auburn in the 2005 draft. But no SEC team has ever had five first-round selections in the same year. If Alabama does indeed have five, that would be 12 first-round picks in the last four years for the Crimson Tide. From a national perspective, only Miami (in 2002) and USC (in 1968) have produced five first-round picks in the same draft. http://espn.go.com/blog/sec |
