Next best
USC: 62
Ohio State: 56
Florida: 55

Most running backs: LSU (9)
Next best
Alabama: 8
Arkansas: 7

Most wide receivers: LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma (9)

Most defensive linemen: LSU (14)
Next best
Clemson: 13
Alabama: 13

This has always seemed like LSU's wheelhouse in the draft, and these Tigers could see a few guys taken up front again in 2018. The headliner is defensive end Arden Key, who has first-round talent but looks like a second-round pick right now.

Most defensive backs: LSU (16)
Next best
Alabama: 14
Ohio State: 14
USC: 12
Clemson: 12

The Tigers and Gators have gotten into quite the spat over the past couple of years about who really is DBU. Well, according to the draft numbers, it's LSU. The Tigers lead everyone in the country with 16 defensive backs drafted over the past 10 years, while Florida has 11.

Most picks by conference the past five years
SEC: 270
ACC: 189
Pac-12: 169
Big Ten: 169
Big 12: 104

Conference that will rule the weekend: SEC

Having 270 draft picks over the past five years is insane, and the SEC has led all conferences in draft picks each of the past 11 years and has had 50 first-round picks since 2013. Also, consider the fact that the SEC finished with 12 total top-10 recruiting classes in 2014 and 2015, and during those two years the SEC also signed 162 ESPN 300 members. That just means more southern talent is going to get snatched up this weekend.

Alabama, LSU lead the way in players drafted by the NFL

Watch Bama and Ohio State pass up LSU in those stats in a few years.

The most talented players were also part of the most successful period that n LSU football history.

LSU fan response: fire the coach responsible!!

This is why Louisiana can’t have nice things.

You damn well know it was time for miles to go. He wouldn’t adapt to today’s game and couldn’t not recruit or develop a QB to save his life. I think you’re more upset about his replacement.

But after O's bad last signing class, we were assured that recruiting rankings don't matter and it's more important who wants to be a Tiger.

I also heard recruiting lineman lower class rankings. Texas had seven lineman and finished way ahead of O. Correction. I counted nine lineman offense and defense. Ree said it was all receivers and cornerbacks. Hmmm

IDK if it was anymore. I said from the beginning we better hope Les outlasts Alleva.

Plus the fans that despised him said we would never turn out like texas, tenn, nebraska etc. Too much talent, we can hire anyone. blah blah blah.

It was time for Les to go. The problem is what happened after he was let go. Louisiana good ole boy politics are such a fixture of this state that it's extremely hard to change the culture.

Compared to LSU's recent history of recruiting? Yes, it was a bad class.
