How much is Alabama cranking out NFL first-round picks these days?
Bear Bryant produced 13 first-round picks in his 25 seasons at Alabama. After tonight's latest NFL Draft dominance, Nick Saban has 14 first-rounders in six seasons.
Alabama's production of NFL first-round picks continued to reach historical milestones. Tonight, the Crimson Tide became the first team to produce three straight picks in the first round.
Over the past five years, Alabama has 14 first-round picks. In college football history, only the vaunted Miami teams of a decade ago produced more first-round picks over a five-year period than Alabama's current run.
Most 1st-Round Picks In Any 5-Year Period
Miami- 20 (2000-2004)
Alabama- 14 (2008-2012)
USC- 12 (1979-1983)
USC- 11 (2005-2009)
Ohio State- 11 (2004-2008)
Florida State- 11 (1997-2001)
Ohio State- 11 (1995-1999)
USC- 11 (1968-1972)
Miami- 10 (1987-1991)
Ohio State- 10 (1974-1978)

Coker > Saban > Bear
Is that what you are trying to say? I'm not sure I would agree, but the stats don't lie.

Only 16 NFL teams prior to 1970. I would imagine that skews the numbers. Still impressive regardless.
