Alabama LB Mack Wilson makes NFL draft decision (BamaOnLine)
quote:
Alabama junior linebacker Mack Wilson has made his NFL draft decision. Wilson is expected to forego his senior season with the Crimson Tide and declare for the 2019 NFL Draft, BamaOnLine has learned. AL.com’s Matt Zenitz was first to report Wilson’s intentions.
Wilson was Alabama’s fifth-leading tackler this past season, registering 71 tackles from his Mike linebacker position. The Montgomery, Ala., native also contributed five tackles for loss, one sack, seven quarterback hurries, five pass breakups and two interceptions in 2018.
The former 5-star recruit is CBS Sports’ 55th overall prospect and No. 2 inside linebacker behind Butkus Award winner Devin White of LSU. Earlier in the season, Wilson took to Twitter to congratulate White and teased a return to Alabama in 2019. Reports also surfaced before the end of the season suggesting Wilson would do that. But the rising senior has changed his mind.
Wilson joined seven other Crimson Tide underclassmen to enter their names in the draft, including defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, offensive tackle Jonah Williams, running back Josh Jacobs, tight end Irv Smith Jr., cornerback Saivion Smith and safety Deionte Thompson.
Cornerback Trevon Diggs and defensive lineman Raekwon Davis are players that announced they will return for one more season. That gives Alabama six returning starters on the defensive side of the football for the upcoming 2019-20 campaign.
The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft is Monday, Jan. 14.

By whom???
That would put him on a level with McClain, Hightower, Mosely, and Foster. He's not that good.

i don't think he is close to first round but maybe he is being draft as an OLB which may be more of his skill set with his body type

Guys, Like it or not, Mack is a projected 1st round pick. He can improve in NFL...

Like it or not, that's bullshite.
CBS has him around pick #55. Oh sure, some blogger with a website might say he'll be a #1 pick. That doesn't mean shite.

I remember how Kaho looked when he got to Bama. He looked like he'd added 10-15 pounds of muscle in the playoffs. By next season physically he will be set. No idea where he is in the playbook.

There are lots of problems (that most football programs have) that are far worse than six underclassmen being taken in the first couple rounds of the NFL draft.
Thanks and best wishes to them!

He has the talent for the NFL and truly doesn't care to play good football for Alabama.
His replacement will play better better than he did.

Anyone care to guess why are we having to scrap for transfer ILBs?

Good luck to Mack.
Not a big loss at all.

Mock drafts are way off this far out from the draft.

Mack and Moses were gods coming out of HS and just didn't quite live up to what we wanted.
Alabama isn't scraping for talent.

Our defense is going to be good in 2019 with or without him.

That's probably a bit premature on Moses. Rueben didn't start to take off until his Jr year and his Sr year is what we all remember.
