Fwiw, I think it's pretty dumb to call this the top talent producers in the NFL, and then only include 1st round draft picks. It doesn't come remotely close to showing a college's ability to put players in the draft or show their successes in the league (see: Milliner, Dee or Richardson, Trent)

Agree it doesn't show the whole picture. Probably should include all drafted players.
Also, what's wrong Dee Milner? Haven't really kept up with his pro career but thought he had done alright. It's a really tough position to come into the league a produce at a high level, usually takes a few years to get acclimated to the league and to the new system playing under.

That's 2 out of 17 first round draft selections under Saban.
Bama has produced 47 NFL Draft picks under Nick Saban.

I think Bama/LSU are only ahead of UGA with players in the NFL, and that is only just barely, like a player or two more.
