The Southeastern Conference routinely dominates the top of the NFL draft, but this year the NCAA’s premier football league took that to a new level, when six of the first 10 picks were used on SEC players, including fifth overall choice Ja’Marr Chase of LSU. The NBA’s upcoming draft won’t feature that level of influence within its top 10, but the SEC is poised to have numerous players selected in the first round. According to mock drafts across the Internet, it’s possible that seven SEC products will be announced among the first roughly 25 selections, including a pair of players from Tennessee, as well as one apiece representing Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, LSU and Kentucky.
