Breaking News: Southeastern QB has now decided to leave the team and joined packers.

The NFL record for most first-round draft selections by a conference was surpassed by the Southeastern Conference.

On Thursday night, fifteen athletes from the dominant league were chosen for the first round. The SEC tied the

previous record of 12 in 2013 and 2017, however that record was surpassed by the Atlantic Coast Conference in

2006.

Numerous athletes from Alabama and LSU were included in the picks, including Joe Burrow of the Tigers, the

winner of the Heisman Trophy. The number of players selected in the first round by the league was not as high as the

total number of players selected by college football.

Not as impressive as some had anticipated were LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton, Alabama safety Xavier McKinney,

Georgia running back D’Andre Swift, and Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs.

The first time the Green Bay Packers have spent a first-round pick on an offensive player since selecting Mississippi

State tackle Derek Sherrod at No. 32 in 2011 is when they traded up four spots to choose Utah State quarterback

Jordan Love at No. 26.

The Packers have also traded out of their original first-round draft position for the third year in a row.

In the 2018 draft, Green Bay began with the No. 14 pick, traded down to the No. 27 pick, then moved back up to the

No. 18 spot, where they selected Jaire Alexander, a cornerback from Louisville.

Last year, the Packers were selected with the 12th and 30th overall picks. However, the Packers used their second

first-round pick to select Maryland safety Darnell Savage at No. 21 after taking outside linebacker Rashan Gary of

Michigan at No. 12. They did this by moving up nine spots.

As the first round was coming to an end, Tennessee selected Bulldogs right tackle Isaiah Wilson, twenty-five

positions after Georgia left tackle Andrew Thomas was selected by the Giants. He was a wrestler before, so his pass

protection is a little lacking, but his run game is excellent.

Miami had the thirty-first pick after trading with Green Bay earlier. The Dolphins already selected Austin Jackson, a

lineman from Southern California, and Tua Tagovailoa, the quarterback from Alabama. With Auburn cornerback

Noah Igbinoghene—whose parents competed in the Summer Olympics—they accomplished their first-round hat

trick.
