A record 26 players are expected to be in attendance at the 2012 NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Twelve are from the SEC, including five from Alabama.

Todd McShay's most recent mock draft

had 11 SEC players going in the first round (not counting Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill). That number would tie a conference record set in 2007. Last year, the SEC had 10 players drafted in the first round.

Here are the 12 SEC players who have invites to this year's draft:

Mark Barron, Alabama
Michael Brockers, LSU
Morris Claiborne, LSU
Fletcher Cox, Mississippi State
Stephon Gilmore, South Carolina
Cordy Glenn, Georgia
Dont'a Hightower, Alabama
Melvin Ingram, South Carolina
Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama
Rueben Randle, LSU
Trent Richardson, Alabama
Courtney Upshaw, Alabama
