Drew Barker named Kentucky’s starting quarterback

The 2016 NFL draft creeps ever closer, and as usual, the SEC is expected to have the most draft picks of any league; the SEC had 54 players selected last year, giving the league the most draftees for the ninth year in a row.

The SEC has a national-best 246 picks in the past five drafts. Second-most among conferences in the past five drafts is the ACC with 185. And over the past five drafts, the SEC has had 50 first-rounders, followed by the ACC with 26.

GN is looking a bit more into the SEC players expected to go early in this draft.
