2021 NFL Draft college takeaways: SEC and Alabama set records, late-round sleepers, more (05/03)

The Cover 3 crew recaps all the college and conference angles to the NFL Draft. After some lingering reaction to Kansas’ big news on Friday (1:30), we kickstart the draft talk with what’s behind the SEC’s dominance in the NFL Draft as it sets yet another modern record for picks (10:00). Then it’s to the other end of the conference count with a look at the Big 12, which had no first round picks and ranked fifth among Power Five leagues for the 10th straight season (21:30). Plus, why college stars we loved to cover fell to the late rounds of the draft or went undrafted (29:00) and an early look at the 2022 NFL Draft class (48:40).
