Ranking Big Ten teams by all-time NFL draft picks

We are now on the doorstep of another NFL draft. All the pomp and circumstances of the annual event kick off on Thursday night with the first round and will go through the weekend through all seven rounds on Friday and Saturday.

When you think of players going to the NFL, certain college programs come to mind with Ohio State being right or near the top of total first-round picks and the overall total number of picks in general. But some of the Buckeyes’ Big Ten brethren have also had plenty of guys hear their names called in the history of the NFL draft, and it’s expected to be the same this time around as well.

However — clearly, some of the Big Ten programs are much better at producing NFL widgets and we thought it’d be fun to rank them all based on the total number of draft picks in history.

Here’s a rundown of all fourteen Big Ten teams and where they rank in the conference. We start at No. 14 and count down to No. 1 using drafthistory.com.
