That’s inaccurate. Auburn has 30 1st round picks since 1936. *23 since the first draft after the merger in 1967.

Prior to Saban’s first draft in 2009, Alabama had 36 between 1936 and 2008. *26 between 1967 and 2009.

Alabama had 43 1st round draft picks under Saban.

No one doubts that Alabama has the best CFB program, so I’m not sure why you’re being insecure about it. Also, Auburn has had one its most tumultuous eras in its history while competing with Alabama and Georgia having their best. Auburn has no where to go but up, and Alabama has no where to go but down.

That's inaccurate.
