Interesting tidbits from last nights draft:

Last time a running back wasn’t drafted in 1st round was 1963, when the NFL and AFL held separate drafts.

12 SEC players were taken in the first round, matching 1st-round record of 12 by ACC in 2006.

First time 2 offensive guards were selected in top 10 since 1986.

Cooper at No. 7 is highest drafted guard since Brian Jozwiak was picked 7th in 1986.

1997 was the last time a skill player (QB,RB,TE,WR) wasn't taken in the first 5 picks before tonight.

1968 was only other year 3 offensive lineman taken in first 4 picks (Ron Yary, Bob Johnson and Russ Washington).

2nd time that offensive lineman have been taken 1st and 2nd overall in the draft. Other time was 1968 (Ron Yary, Bob Johnson).
