Alabama breaks school, SEC records with 12 2018 NFL Draft picks (BamaOnLine)
quote:
Seven Alabama players were selected on Day 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft, bringing the Crimson Tide’s 3-round total to 12 selections, tying the school and SEC modern draft era records.
The 12 draftees led the nation and were five more than the three teams tied for second place.
Four players were taken in the first round Thursday with safety Minkah Fitzpatrick coming off the board first to the Miami Dolphins with the 11th overall pick. Da'Ron Payne to the Washington Redskins at No. 13, Rashaan Evans to the Tennessee Titans at No. 22 and Calvin Ridley to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 26 rounded out the first round for Alabama players.
The four first-round selections tied a school record that was also accomplished in 2011, 2012 and 2017.
Safety Ronnie Harrison was the Crimson Tide’s only Day 2 draft pick Friday, going to the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 29th selection, 93rd overall, in the third round and bringing the total to five.

Then, seven more players were drafted in the final four rounds. Defensive end Da'Shawn Hand and cornerback Anthony Averett were selected in the fourth round by the Detroit Lions (114) and Baltimore Ravens (118), respectively. Punter JK Scott was the lone fifth-round pick and first punter taken since 1995 when the Green Bay Packers chose him at No. 172.
Linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton and center Bradley Bozeman provided the Tide with a pair of sixth-round picks. Hamilton was the second Alabama player drafted by Washington at No. 197 while Bozeman was the second Alabama player drafted by Baltimore at No. 215, continuing the recent trends for both organizations of selecting from Crimson Tide players.
With Hamilton’s selection by the Redskins, all 11 of Alabama’s 2016 season-opening defensive starters have now been selected in the last two NFL drafts. Nine were chosen in the first three rounds. That number rises to 14 if Evans, Hand and Averett are included as reserves from that game against USC in Arlington, Texas, fittingly the site of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Running back Bo Scarbrough was one of two seventh-round picks and actually gave Alabama the school and league record for selections in a single draft. Scarbrough was chosen by the Dallas Cowboys with the 236th overall pick. Defensive tackle Joshua Frazier was the final draft pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 28th pick in the seventh, 246 overall.
Eleven years into the Nick Saban era, 30 of the 32 NFL teams have now selected an Alabama player. The only NFL franchises that haven’t picked one are Denver and Philadelphia.

Tracking Alabama's free agent signings after 2018 NFL Draft (BamaOnLine)
quote:
Alabama saw a nation-leading 12 players selected in the 2018 NFL Draft over the last three days. That total broke a school and SEC record for most players taken in a single draft.
But there were several Crimson Tide players that did not hear their name called that will still have an opportunity to make an NFL roster, signing contracts as undrafted free agents.
Below, we track those free agent signings.
CB Tony Brown -- The Tide's Star in its dime package is reportedly signing with the Los Angeles Chargers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and 247Sports.
2017 notes: Totaled 31 tackles while adding one tackle for loss (-3 yards), two pass breakups and one quarterback hurry ... picked off his first pass of the season in the CFP National Championship.
WR Robert Foster -- A starting wide receiver as a redshirt senior in 2017, Foster is reportedly signing with the Buffalo Bills, per AL.com.
2017 notes: Recorded 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown on the season ... rushed once for 12 yards ... caught at least one pass in nine of the Tide’s 14 games during his senior campaign ... added one tackle on special teams.
WR Cam Sims -- Like Foster, Sims started at receiver a season ago. He's reportedly signing with the Washington Redskins.
2017 notes: Totaled 14 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown in his senior campaign ... recorded a career-long reception of 60 yards in his senior season.
CB Levi Wallace -- The walk-on-turned-starting cornerback is reportedly signing with the Buffalo Bills, per Michael Lev of Arizona Daily Star.
2017 notes: Totaled 48 tackles, including 4.5 tackles for loss (-22 yards) and two sacks (-18 yards) ... tied for second on the team in interceptions with three, one of which he returned for a touchdown ... paced the Tide in pass breakups with 15 ... led the SEC in passes defended with 18 ... finished 21st nationally in passes defended.
OL JC Hassenauer -- The sixth man along Alabama's offensive line in 2017, Hassenauer has signed with the Atlanta Falcons.
2017 notes: Played in eight games in 2017 and made starts against Mercer, Auburn and against Georgia in the CFP National Championship Game ... also saw time at Vanderbilt, against Ole Miss and in the Sugar Bowl versus Clemson at guard ... played nine snaps at center against Arkansas and Tennessee.

Alabama sets school NFL draft record, tracking free agent signings
Updated 6:20 PM; Posted 6:06 PM
Alabama's Minkah Fitzpatrick holds his Miami Dolphins after being No. 11 pick Thursday.(David J. Phillip/AP)
The late sixth round pick of Bradley Bozeman put Alabama on record watch.
It had just tied the mark set last year with 10 NFL draft picks. One more to break it with three or four prospects possible. Bo Scarbrough ended the drama midway through the final round.
The running back became the 11th Crimson Tide player taken -- breaking that barrier. Joshua Frazier made it No. 12 Ohio State still holds the record when it had 14 selected in the 2004 draft.
The 12 Alabama picks were easily the most nationally.
LSU, Ohio State and NC State each had seven apiece.
Among the notable Alabama players not taken: Former five-star recruit Tony Brown and starting cornerback Levi Wallace.
In all, Alabama had seven players picked in the final four rounds when the draft concluded Saturday.
The selection moves this 2018 Alabama crop further past the previous school record of 10 picks in last year's class.
With the draft over, free-agent signings came fast.
-- Robert Foster: Buffalo Bills
-- Tony Brown: Los Angeles Chargers
-- Levi Wallace: TBA
-- Cam Sims: TBA

Not saying Farrell is wrong here, as I've been hearing Miami some as well. But he continues his deal with picking us to land NOBODY out of state. What is his deal? After a certain point, it stops being a coincidence.
Posted on 4/28/18 at 8:13 pm to Bama3714
Yep. Idk why Farrell does that so much. I sure hope he's wrong again.

NC state with seven???? Who woulda thought

Kelvin Tolliver was suppose to be a can't miss generational CB talent.
Didn't even get drafted.
Then those idiot 7SU fans try to use guilt of staying at home and building their program as to why a kid should gamble his future just to make them happy. SMFH.

LA kids who pick Bama over LSU are traitors, but it's all good if MS or TX kids pick LSU.This post was edited on 4/29/18 at 6:39 am

The draft numbers are obscene overall under Saban, but DB numbers are outstanding.
In the last 9 drafts Alabama has had at least 1 DB taken in the 1st round 6 times. One of the years we didn't have a first round pick was the Landon Collins draft where he went first in the second round. It still irks me he fell out of the first, NFL GMs are idiots.
8 of the past 9 drafts Bama has had a DB taken in the first 2 rounds of the draft. (7 in the first, 3 in the second round). And this is with Harrison and Jackson really being 2nd round picks but sliding.
16 DBs overall drafted in the last 9 years now.

4 of them were DLineman which was beastly last year. Good year for the Wolfpack.
Posted on 4/29/18 at 9:37 am to Carlton
They have history doing that, their 2005 DL yielded Mario Williams(1st), John McCargo(1st), Tank Tyler(3rd) and Manny Lawson(1st).

The state of North Carolina seems to be an underrated state for defensive linemen.
Posted on 4/29/18 at 11:43 am to CapstoneGrad06
Looks like Kevin Harris is trending towards Miami. A lot of crystal balls going the Canes way today. ACC boards I read were showing more and more confidence towards Miami the last few days. I really was hoping he would come aboard, like him alot.
Hopefully it will change by decision day.
