This interesting infographic breaks down teams and conferences by numbers of players drafted to the NFL. Although the top two programs since 1992 by NFL draft numbers are Ohio State and USC, the SEC dominates the conference numbers with 576 players -- almost 200 more than the Big 10 and over double the Pac-12. Even corrected for the difference in number of teams per conference, those numbers seem to suggest that NFL scouts consider the SEC to have more talent per team than other conferences over the past 20 years.

 

That's a pretty good indicator, right there.
