This year proved relatively tame for the SEC in terms of early NFL draft entrants.

The deadline to withdraw from early entry came and went Monday, and 22 SEC non-seniors have declared themselves draft-eligible, down from a record 28 in 2014.

The Crimson Tide, not the LSU Tigers, got hit hardest this year, but none of the talent headed to the draft represents an unexpected decision. Still, Alabama is losing its best offensive and defensive player from this year’s SEC championship team.

Georgia, Texas A&M and Kentucky each are losing a starting running back, but all three teams have pretty suitable replacements and won’t be hit that hard.

Seven SEC teams are losing multiple players to the NFL early, with Florida topping that list.

Here’s how we rank the SEC teams based on which program is losing the most.

1. ALABAMA (3)

  • T.J. Yeldon, RB
  • Amari Cooper, WR
  • Landon Collins, S

The Tide likely lost two first-round picks in Cooper and Collins, though the team’s backfield should be fine without Yeldon.

2. FLORIDA (4)

  • Tyler Moore, G
  • Matt Jones, RB
  • D.J. Humphries, OT
  • Dante Fowler Jr., DE

The Gators would’ve loved to have Humphries or at least Moore return to give new coach Jim McElwain some building-block pieces on the offensive line. Fowler likely is a first-round pick, and Florida must find someone else to rush the quarterback to pair with its stout group of cornerbacks.

3. MISSISSIPPI STATE (2)

  • Josh Robinson, RB
  • Benardrick McKinney, LB

The Bulldogs return the fewest number of starters in the SEC (and nearly the country). McKinney should be an early-round NFL pick and can’t be blamed for turning pro, but it would’ve been nice to have him as a sort of transition piece for the new defense. Robinson has some talent, but most see him as fairly replaceable within MSU’s offensive system.

4. LSU (3)

  • Danielle Hunter, DE
  • Jalen Collins, CB
  • Kwon Alexander, LB

The Hunter loss hurt. By all media accounts, he was a sort of swing decision, torn between staying or leaving. He didn’t reach his potential yet at LSU, but with one more season, he could’ve been an All-SEC type player. Did losing John Chavis to Texas A&M impact that decision, or was Hunter gone anyway? LSU’s defense has been drilled by early losses the last three years, and this is tame by comparison, but it still stings, as the team has the makings of a Top 5 defense nationally next year.

5. MISSOURI (2)

  • Shane Ray, DE
  • Dorial Green-Beckham

The SEC’s Defensive Player of the Year is a potential first-round pick and made the right decision to head to the NFL. The Tigers have young talent at defensive end, and could add more before National Signing Day. But do they have two players who can step into starting roles and produce like Ray and Markus Golden? (Does any team in the country?) Green-Beckham got kicked out of the Missouri program almost a year ago, transferring to Oklahoma. But the NCAA didn’t grant him a special waiver to play for the Sooners in ’14 and then he entered the NFL draft, so the NFL considers him a Missouri prospect.

6. ARKANSAS (1)

  • Darius Philon, DT

The Big Three on the Razorbacks’ defense included two seniors in Trey Flowers and Martrell Spaight. Philon should get pulled from the board before the third day of the draft, but his decision may be one of the single most impactful ones in the SEC. Can the Razorbacks come close to the dominating front seven that was one of the best in the country in 2014 without one of the three?

7. AUBURN (2)

  • Patrick Miller, OL
  • Sammie Coats, WR

Miller was a good player, but due to injury and a suspension, was in and out of the starting lineup the last two seasons anyway. It would’ve been a treat to watch Jeremy Johnson throw to both Coats and Duke Williams, but the return of the latter is huge for the Tigers, and there will be other weapons for Johnson. He could be one heck of a starting quarterback.

8. SOUTH CAROLINA (2)

  • Shaq Roland, WR
  • Mike Davis, RB

No one expected Davis back in 2015, and all of South Carolina’s receivers will play second fiddle to Pharoh Cooper next season. Still, Roland would’ve made for a nice No. 2 option.

9. GEORGIA (1)

  • Todd Gurley, RB

Gurley remained the most talented player in Georgia’s backfield, even with the emergence of Nick Chubb and Sony Michel. But as we saw in 2014, there’s no noticeable drop-off with Gurley off the team.

10. TEXAS A&M (1)

  • Trey Williams, RB

Williams’ decision to leave for the NFL was a surprise to many outside of College Station. It seems like his future in the NFL is on special teams. But he was little more than a bit player for the Aggies’ offense, although an efficient one. Texas A&M will miss him as a returner, but Speedy Noil seems primed to be one of the SEC’s best in that regard.

11. KENTUCKY (1)

  • Braylon Heard, RB

This one was another surprise, at least to those outside the UK football inner circle. But the Wildcats return the other three leading rushers, including a talented sophomore in Stanley “Boom” Williams.
