It’s still very early for 2018 NFL Draft talk, but here are the top seven prospects from the SEC in next year’s class.

The 2017 NFL Draft is about one week away. So, is it wrong already look ahead to the 2018 NFL Draft?

As football fans, it is impossible to not think ahead to next year, for some fan bases this holds true more than for others.

The SEC is always loaded with talent. The presumptive top choice in the 2017 NFL Draft is Myles Garrett out of Texas A&M. Leonard Fournette, Jamal Adams and Jonathan Allen are all strong bets to go in the top 10 and hail from the SEC.

The 2018 NFL Draft promises to be full of SEC talent. While the Pac-12 has some of the top quarterbacks eligible—Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Jake Browning and Luke Falk—the SEC has among the most potential first-round prospects for the 2018 NFL Draft.

Of course, a lot depends on whether certain players declare for the draft or decide to return to school. The 2017 NFL Draft is littered with players foregoing their senior year of eligibility and 2018 will likely be no different. Plenty of uber-talented players in the NCAA will be juniors in the 2017 season. Let’s have a look at the top prospects.
