2016 NFL draft superlatives in the SEC

Another year, another great relationship between the NFL and the SEC. Despite having zero top-5 picks and just one top-10 pick (Georgia linebacker Leonard Floyd to the Chicago Bears at No. 9) in last week's NFL draft, the SEC led the nation with eight first-round picks and 51 total selections. It was the 10th straight year the SEC led the nation in draft picks and the fifth time in the last six years that the SEC had the most players selected in the first round.

The SEC was obviously one of the biggest winners of the NFL draft, but who were some of the winning draft picks?
