According to the NFL website, these are the final draft numbers for the conferences:

SEC = 35 (2.91 players per team)
Pac Ten= 34 (an incredible 3.4 players per team)
ACC = 33 (2.75 players per team)
Big Twelve = 29 (2.41 players per team)
Big Ten = 28 (2.54 players per team)
Big East= 19 (2.37 players per team)

Cusa = 11 (.916 players per team)
Wac = 8 (.880players per team)
MWC= 7 (.774 players per team)
Sunbelt= 3 (.375 players per team)
MAC = 2 (.160 players per team)


Big East didn't do too bad this year.

Edit: Sorry, but I just cant get the numbers to add up neatly.

MAC had 9 players drafted second among non-bcs conferences. MAC was very young last year but still had 9 players drafted. MAC had a good group of linemen on both sides of the ball. Next couple of years the MAC should have more skill position players. MAC has some top QB's prospects which should be potential first round variety. Nate Davis at Ball State and Lafevor at CMU are ones that are very good and perhaps first round next year. WMU has Simmons and Ball State Dante Love which are excellent recievers. CMU has a few nice looking WR's and back that will get a look too. James Starks at Buffalo couple be a nice running back next year.

You are correct. I got the Mac confused with the Mid America Conference. I did not even know that that conference existed. One of those 2 leagues should consider changing their name.

Revised list:

SEC = 35 (2.91 players per team)
Pac Ten= 34 (an incredible 3.4 players per team)
ACC = 33 (2.75 players per team)
Big Twelve = 29 (2.41 players per team)
Big Ten = 28 (2.54 players per team)
Big East= 19 (2.37 players per team)

Cusa = 11 (.916 players per team)
Wac = 8 (.880players per team)
MWC= 7 (.774 players per team)
Sunbelt= 3 (.375 players per team)
MAC = 9 (.750 players per team)

When all is said and done, I'd like to see a breakdown by conference of all players who make NFL rosters, drafted or free agent. That's going to be the real judge of talent. The draft is pretty much a crap shoot.
