The NFL talent scouts will turn their attention to incoming players over the next several months. And it appears that much of their focus will be directed at the Big 12.

The conference has nine players among the top 25 players on Mel Kiper's most recent Big Board.

That number is more than any other conference. The SEC has six players and no other conference has more than two players.

Here's a look at the Big 12 players and where they rank on Kiper's most recent top 25 list.

• 1. Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh
• 2. Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy
• 4. Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford
• 8. Oklahoma State T Russell Okung
• 9. Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant
• 11. Texas S Earl Thomas
• 21. Texas LB-DE Sergio Kindle
• 24. Oklahoma T Trent Williams
• 25. Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham.

And with Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon slated to jump perhaps as high as the end of the first round, it could be a busy time for the Big 12.

The conference set a record with seven No. 1 draft choices in 2009. It wouldn't be a shock to see that number matched in the first 20 picks this season.
