The 2019 NFL Draft is sure to feature plenty of SEC players going in the first round, and a number of those players will likely be defenders.
In fact, among the top-10 defensive draft prospects listed by ESPN draft expert Todd McShay, five of them hail from the SEC.
As you can see in the graphic below, Quinnen Williams, Devin White, Jeffery Simmons, Greedy Williams and Josh Allen all make the cut:

Many think Allen should be higher on the list, as he’s been considered a top-five pick in many mock drafts to this point. However, McShay doesn’t see it that way.
Who will be proven right? We’ll find out in April when Round 1 commences.
