The National Football League (NFL) holds its annual draft of the nation’s best college football players in April each year. Prior to the draft, various sporting news services project the players who will be drafted along with the order in which each will be selected in what are called mock drafts. Players who are considered to have superior potential as professional football players are selected earlier in the draft. The following table shows, for the 2015 NFL draft, projections by one mock draft service of what position in the first round players from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten Conference, the PAC12 Conference, and the Southeastern Conference will be selected follow (DraftSite website, https://www.draftsite.com/nfl/draft-history/2015/).
