OSU replaces Iowa as decade’s top NFL feeder

Two weeks ago, I noted here that Iowa was the Big Ten's top-feeder in the NFL Draft in the 2010s. That no longer applies.

With six draftees last week to Iowa's three, Ohio State has had 23 players picked in this decade compared to Iowa's 22.

By the way, this was the sixth-straight year in which no Big Ten player was a Top Ten draftee. That is projected to end in 2015. In this mock draft -- yes, a 2015 mock draft -- at CBSsports.com, the Big Ten has four of the top 10 guys including Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff.

Here are the updated totals of NFL draft picks in the 2010s, with first-rounders in parentheses:

Ohio State 23 (3)

Iowa 22 (3)

Wisconsin 21 (4)

Nebraska 19 (2)

Penn State 19 (1)

Illinois 16 (3)

Michigan 13 (2)

Michigan State 13 (1)

Rutgers 11 (2)

Indiana 7 (1)

Purdue 7 (1)

Maryland 6 (0)

Northwestern 5 (0)

Minnesota 4 (0)

Now let's look at the SEC in the same 5-year period:

Alabama 37 (13)

LSU 33 (6)

Georgia 28 (3)

Florida 27 (7)

South Carolina 19 (3)

Tennessee 16 (4)

Arkansas 16 (0)

Texas A&M 14 (6)

Auburn 12 (4)

Mississippi State 12 (2)

Missouri 11 (4)

Vanderbilt 9 (0)

Kentucky 8 (0)

Mississippi 7 (0)
