In a continuation of Part A-, Ninja breaks down the conferences associated with draft picks and their relative NFL success.

Part B:

Let us breakdown the hits and misses by Collegiate Conferences and then break those conference selections round by round:

The Myth of Bill Belichick liking SEC players has proven to be true. The  SEC's dominance in college football, especially winning six National Championship titles in the last decade is remarkable. No conference in College Football comes close. The Big 12 and the Big 10 conferences come in 2nd and 3rd place (total selections in 11 years) in a tight race.

Side note-Under Bill Polian, the Colts have the most Big 10 selections under Polian's tenure, same for the Steelers. If you take a glimpse at Bill Parcells 1st and 2nd round selections during his tenure with the Giants, Jets, Cowboys and the Dolphins, He loves taking Big 10 players.
