Predicting the Order Pac-12 Players Will Be Taken in NFL Draft
The Pac-12 typically has a number of players taken in the first round of the NFL draft, and although Oregon offensive tackle Penei Sewell is expected to be taken within the first 10 picks, he is one of just two players from the conference likely to go in Thursday's opening round.
Which other players from the conference will be drafted, and when?
Alabama could have more players taken in the first round than the entire Pac-12 does in the first two rounds combined. No matter. It's how they perform at the pro level that matters.
If you are a betting person, you can go to the end of this report and check out the SportBettingDime over/under lines of the slot when players from Oregon, Washington, USC, Stanford and other Pac-12 schools will be drafted.
