The Robert BrownNational Football Selection Meeting, as late NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle called it, gives teams that struggle to consistently put a good product on the field a chance to reset and build hope for the future instantly.

These days, it’s known as the NFL draft, although lately it's seemed more like the Alabama Invitational, as Crimson Tide players have, over the past decade, littered rosters throughout the league because of their success in college.

Whether general managers have buyer’s remorse on some draft picks remains to be seen, but what is clear is that Power 5 college football teams, especially those in the SEC and Big Ten, tend to be where the focus is when NFL teams are looking at their draft boards.

Alabama also has had multiple first-round picks in each of the past seven years and the most overall selections with 77, followed by LSU with 72 draftees and Southern California with 66.

Here are the college teams with the most first-round NFL picks over the past 10 years:
