THE NOT SO BIG 12
Through three rounds, no conference has had more players chosen than the Pac-12’s 26. Next is the SEC’s 22 and the ACC’s 20. The Big 12? Seven. That’s only one more than Florida State by itself.
Obviously, this is disappointing. Down year? I feel good about the coaches in the conference. I think they're the best outside of the Big 10. Opinions?
The Big 12 had as many players per team (average) as the Big Ten. The ACC was boosted by FSU (11) and Louisville (10). If anyone really thinks Louisville actually had ten NFL players on the roster, they're rough ridin' batshit.
It was kind of a down year because TCU and OSU were so young. Baylor only had two guys drafted. Tech and ISU had no draft picks. I'm guessing both teams add to the total next year. We will have a few in Whithair, Britz, and Barnett. Maybe McDaniel and Stiverson, too.
People are a little afraid to take Big 12 offensive players due to the "system" stigma.
Here were the totals this year:
Oklahoma 6
Texas 5
WVU 4
TCU 3
Kansas 2
KSU 2
Baylor 2
OSU 1
