Mel Kiper’s 2019 NFL Draft ‘Big Board’ features 4 SEC players in the top 5

Not only will the 2019 NFL Draft be held in an SEC city but the league’s annual selection process looks to be loaded with SEC players at the top of the board.

According to ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr., four of the top five prospects for the upcoming draft hail from the SEC. That’s an incredible number, even for a league that’s dominated the selection process for over a decade.

Kiper recently updated his “Big Board” for ESPN and he’s got Alabama DL Quinnen Williams at No. 2, LSU LB Devin White at No. 3, Kentucky LB Josh Allen at No. 4 and LSU CB Greedy Williams at the No. 5 spot.

While that’s just the top five spots, you’ll see plenty of SEC players on his first round board.

He shared the information via Twitter on Thursday:

New Big Board for the 2019 class:

1. Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State
2. Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
3. Devin White, LB, LSU
4. Josh Allen, OLB, Kentucky
5. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
