Kentucky would definitely be last. All the more reason to keep dipping into Ohio.

Tennessee too high. Not much better than Arkansas.

There's a huge drop off in talent after Louisiana and an even bigger drop off after Tennessee. Also the high school talent in Kentucky is just.....awful.

Yea expect Alabama has had more 1st round draft picks in the last 10 years than Louisiana. Good call though.

Yeah but Louisiana still has more talent in the NFL than Alabama does. Plus, if you want to go by 1st round picks alone, then South Carolina is just as superior as Louisiana and Alabama.

You nailed it.

Mississippi would be higher if more of their kids could qualify.

There's a huge dropoff in intelligence from a total idiot ... down to you. Obviously.


Ya know, something you may want to consider next time ... sometimes it's better to remain silent and be considered a tard than to post in a thread like this and remove all doubt.

Tiered by me....

2. Florida 186
3. Texas 184
4. Georgia 95

7. Louisiana 62

9. South Carolina 54
11. Alabama 48

15. Tennessee 35
16. Mississippi 32

19. Missouri 24

27. Kentucky 17
28. Arkansas 16


NFL players by home state as of 2013.

It's not perfect, obviously, but it's probably as good as we're going to do. The TN surge in talent(or highly rated highschool talent) really began around 2012-13, so we don't know if that jump in 4 and 5 star prospects will translate to the NFL yet.
