All told, the SEC saw 10 of their players taken amongst the first 32 selections, including five of the first six picks of the draft. The lone non-SEC player in the top six was Texas A&M’s Von Miller, who went No. 2 to the Denver Broncos and was the first of eight first-round selections for the Big 12.
The Big Ten was third in the “conference race” with six players selected, followed by the Pac-12 and ACC with three apiece.
Interestingly, the first player from a non-BcS conference wasn’t selected until the New York Jets took Temple’s Muhammad Wilkerson at No. 30. Even more interesting was the fact that the Big East had just one player selected in the first round as well — Pittsburgh’s Jonathan Baldwin, taken by the Kansas City Chiefs at No. 26.
