Going back through the years, since the SEC started their run of dominance (2006 to present), on average, the SEC has had roughly 8.1 (11 in 2013, 9 in 2012, 10 in 2011, 6 in 2010, 8 in 2009, 6 in 2008, 11 in 2007, and 4 in 2006) players taken in the 1st round of the NFL Draft each year. I started with the year 2006 because that's when the SEC started this dominance.
I may or may not have skipped a player or two... For the 1st round of the 2013 NFL Draft, I counted players from Mizzou and Texas A&M, but for no other year.
So, which players do you think end up being taken in the 1st round for the 2015 NFL Draft? Below I have listed just some players with the potential to be... Feel free to add someone to the list.
TJ Yeldon (Alabama)
Landon Collins (Alabama)
Amari Cooper (Alabama)
D'haquille Williams (Auburn)
Trey Williams (Arkansas)
La'el Collins (LSU)
Denico Autry (Mississippi State)
Cody Prewitt (Ole Miss)
Todd Gurley (Georgia)
Dante Fowler Jr (Florida)
AJ Johnson (Tennessee

Unless Cody really improves his coverage skills this year he will probably go somewhere closer to round 3 or 4.

Denico Autry was a senior, he gone.
Benardrick McKinney has a decent enough shot to hit the first round with a strong season.

I would be surprised if Yeldon goes 1st round with his fumbling issues and high point of contact. I would take him off and maybe add Trey DePriest.
Also, if Daquille Williams is a first rounder, so is Jacob Coker.

Was he really? Mississippi State needs to update their Rivals depth chart.

Yes because they are comparable talents.

Yeah, unless I missed something and he redshirted in Juco. I've no doubts Rivals isn't up to par on our depth chart though.

Be surprised to see many RBs in the first round. So doubt yeldon.
Also Collins probably a little small for an ideal NFL safety.
Depreist is someone to watch if he plays at a high level, but first round might be a stretch

TJ Yeldon could be.
Negative aspects working against him include fumbling issues, the bust potential of recent Alabama running backs (not named Eddie Lacy), and the fact that an NFL running back isn't as sought after early in the draft anymore.

In honesty, I'm finding it's going to be harder and harder to justify taking a back in the first round at all anymore. Unless they're extremely dynamic or can split time at slot in a Darren Sproles type roll. Just one of the reasons I enjoy college ball more than pros.

Yea, it's so easy to find one later in the draft. And now the passing game is so much more vital to a team's success in the NFL (except on rare occasions). Quarterbacks, wide receivers, defensive ends and secondary players are more sought after.
I wonder how long this trend will stay.

Hopefully not long.

Depends on the season. No later than early second ala Courtney Upshaw.

Uber talented Junior College players have been drafted before, and Duke Williams is just that. In fact, he almost entered the NFL Draft, per LSU fans, but chose to sign with Auburn.
I can't think of any player in Jacob Coker's shoes (or the situation around him) that has been drafted...

For Mizzou:
Markus Golden or Shane Ray DEs both have potential to be first rounders (Mizzou has a great track record in recent years of putting DLs in the first round)
I would have possibly said DGB as well, but….
