SEC leads all conferences in NFL draft picks for 11th straight year

It started with Texas A&M's Myles Garrett going No. 1 overall and ended with Mississippi's Chad Kelly going last as "Mr. Irrelevant."

For the 11th straight year, the SEC led all conferences in the number of NFL draft picks.

The league had 23 players taken during the final four rounds Saturday to increase its three-day total to 53. That's 11 more than the Atlantic Coast Conference. The ACC closed with a flurry, with 31 of its 42 drafted players taken on the last day.

The Pac-12 edged the Big Ten 36-35 in picks.
