Poll: Will North Carolina have the most players drafted this year?

In the 2010 NFL Draft, no college had more players selected than the University of Florida with nine.

This year, that honor could go to North Carolina. The Tar Heels had arguably the most talented team in 2010, though several players missed all or parts of the season due to suspension and injury. Their draftees this year could be Marvin Austin (DT), Kendric Burney (CB), Bruce Carter (OLB), Greg Little (WR), Zach Pianalto (TE), Robert Quinn (DE), Da'Norris Searcy (S), Quan Sturdivant (LB), Johnny White (RB), Deunta Williams (S) and T.J. Yates (QB).

If they’re all drafted, which is unlikely but possible, that would be 11 players. Will any team get more players drafted than North Carolina this year? Take the poll and let us know. After the jump, see some teams who should have several players drafted this year.
