Carnage report: SEC has more draft picks than Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC combined through 3 rounds

Day 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and rounds 4-7 will resume Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ET.

So far, the 2020 draft is much like recent drafts — it’s been dominated by the Southeastern Conference. The SEC set a first-round record with 15 picks, and it later set a record for the most picks through the first 2 rounds with 25.

Currently, the SEC has more draft picks (40) than the Big Ten (17), Big 12 (12) and ACC (8) combined.

LSU offensive lineman Damien Lewis was the first SEC player off the board in the third round to the Seattle Seahawks. All total, 15 SEC players were drafted in the third round.
