Top 9 DB Schools of the Past 25 Years (via @NFL_CFB)
7. Florida
4. Alabama
2. Miami
FULL: LINK
1. Ohio State
First-round picks last 25 years: 9
Top three rounds: 17
Total drafted: 33
The skinny: Although Miami has delivered one more first-round pick to the NFL draft over the last quarter century, none listed here have had as many picked in the first three rounds, or drafted altogether, as the Buckeyes. Among the first-round successes are Donte Whitner, Antoine Winfield, Chris Gamble, Nate Clements and Shawn Springs. And there are plenty others. Want a middle-round pick that turned out well? Try Will Allen (2004 Buccaneers fourth-rounder), who is now a 12-year veteran.
LSU ranked 6 and Tennessee 8

LSU fans are ridiculous. They just can't let this go.

What's the rankings the last 10 years? Bet Ohio St. isn't in the top 5
Posted on 5/28/15 at 9:54 am to undecided
UGA = Thug U and nothing else

As usual, Bama leading the way in the SEC. Bama is the DBU of the SEC. Double the amount of 1st round picks and more overall than any other SEC team.
I will print the shirts and add another NC to our list. DWI Bitches !
4. Alabama
First-round picks last 25 years: 8
Top three rounds: 13
Total drafted: 25
The skinny: Alabama has produced five first-rounders in the eight-year Nick Saban era alone, but surprisingly, the biggest pro impact of that group has come from the first among them: Kareem Jackson. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix's career is off to a promising start for the Green Bay Packers, while Landon Collins just missed the first round earlier this month as the top pick of the second round (New York Giants). From the way-back machine comes Antonio Langham and George Teague, both first-round picks. The best draft value of them all? Perhaps Deshea Townsend, a 1998 fourth-round pick of the Steelers whose career in Pittsburgh got off to a slow start but eventually lasted 12 seasons.
6. LSU
First-round picks last 25 years: 4
Top three rounds: 14
Total drafted: 20
The skinny: All four of LSU's first-round picks have come since 2007, so the Tigers' mettle as DB U is high on recent impact but short on history. Arizona Cardinals star Patrick Peterson is arguably the best cornerback in the NFL today. Meanwhile, Morris Claiborne hasn't worked out nearly as well for the Dallas Cowboys. After a slow start to his career, 2005 second-rounder Corey Webster ended up with 20 interceptions and 98 pass breakups over nine years with the Giants.
7. Florida
First-round picks last 25 years: 4
Top three rounds: 8
Total drafted: 22
The skinny: The prize among the first-rounders? Joe Haden, who has worked out very well for the Cleveland Browns and has piled up 40 pass breakups over the last two seasons. Lito Sheppard, a 2002 first-rounder, averaged about nine starts per season over seven years with the Philadelphia Eagles, making 18 interceptions. Among other Gator defensive backs drafted, there are plenty who didn't deliver much in the pros, including Tony George, Keiwan Ratliff and Guss Scott.
8. Tennessee
First-round picks last 25 years: 4
Top three rounds: 11
Total drafted: 18
The skinny: The last Volunteers defensive back drafted was Eric Berry, a first-rounder in 2010, a fine player and an inspiration all at once. But five drafts is a long stretch for any school in search of the DB U label to go without a player being chosen. Dale Carter (1992 first-rounder) was one of the NFL's top defensive backs for a long time. If the criteria were tied to college play only, the Vols would rate higher, as a number of outstanding SEC players never made much of a pro impact (Terry Fair, Dwayne Goodrich, Jason Allen). Solid second-rounder: Deon Grant, who intercepted 30 passes and broke up 90 over 12 seasons.

Yep, the facts show that Bama is SEC DBU, more picks and 1st rounders over the past 25 years and past 10 years than any other SEC team. Most of all over past 10 years.
Bama = DBU , LBU and has an argument for OLU, DLU . ..
Definitely NCU
