The NFL Draft is inching ever closer, and that means teams are scrambling to keep their draft boards as up to date as possible.
On Monday, NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks updated his first-round mock draft, and there are some big shakeups following the NFL Combine and several pro days.
As you can see below, he has eight former SEC players included on his list — four from Alabama, three from Georgia and one from Florida. Here are the entire first-round projections, but the eight SEC players included are:
- No. 7 — Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama — Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- No. 10 — Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia — Oakland Raiders
- No. 18 — Isaiah Wynn, OL, Georgia — Seattle Seahawks
- No. 19 — Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama — Dallas Cowboys
- No. 22 — Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama — Buffalo Bills
- No. 26 — Da’Ron Payne, DL, Alabama — Atlanta Falcons
- No. 27 — Taven Bryan, DL, Florida — New Orleans Saints
- No. 30 — Lorenzo Carter, LB/DE, Georgia — Minnesota Vikings
These are sure to change again in the coming month, but for now, these eight players are in good shape.
