Evans is fringe 1st round guy

Payne isn’t a 1st round lock

Since this is a deep RB class I’m be a little shocked if Bo goes top 3.

Ridley is a potential top 10 pick

I think Minkah FItzpatrick, Calvin Ridley, Da'Ron Payne, and Ronnie Harrison will all go in the first round.

Tony Brown will definitely be drafted. He'll run a blazing time and can play multiple spots in the secondary.

Foster and Sims both have a chance to be drafted. Foster will run a blazing time and Sims has a big body. Foster's IQ might hold him back in interviews, but thankfully WR is a position where it's not necessary to be a rocket surgeon. Sims can carve out a niche as a nice possession receiver. Additionally, any Bama receiver always gets a small bump due to their willingness to block in the run game.

Many folks will hammer you for having Bo going that early, but the NFL is a passing league, and Bo is our best RB at picking up the blitz as well as catching balls out of the backfield. He's 6'3" and can split out like a Split End as well as do a lot of H stuff. Bo might have a nice career in the league as a RB/H/Split End hybrid.

JK Scott will be drafted and have a 20 year career.

I think SDH and Evans can be drafted higher than you predict.

Averett will run a blazing time, but I'm not sure he'll go so high.

Levi Wallace will go in late raounds or go FA. FA more likely.

Bozeman might go higher than you predict. Depends on combine and interviews.

Ridley might be first WR off the board.

Wallace will definitely be drafted. Most boards have him listed as a top 10 CB.

I've seen Payne possibly go to the Raiders. I think that'd be a great fit.

Averette is a better CB than Marlon Humphrey in my opinion. I think Averette will test well. Levi Wallace is too slow to play CB in the NFL. His lack of speed cost him at Bama. I can see Levi Wallace going into coaching. And, I think Evans will go in the first or early second. He's a guy with all the tools the NFL wants in a LBer nowadays and he has little wear and tear on his body.

Levi Wallace's father would be happy with his son. That's a really amazing story.

Ain’t no way Cam Sims gets drafted. I really don’t see it for Foster either. He never produced at the college level. It doesn’t make any sense to draft him. He will get to camp for sure. I just don’t see anyone using a pick on him.

I saw that too, I was surprised to see Averett in the first, which I think isn't likely.

I also think Payne made himself some money in the CFP. Dude has a chance to be taken in the first or second.

Hopefully, Landon Collins and Eddie Jackson's success might make execs look at Harrison.

The Alabama talent in the NFL right now is insane.

Alabama has ~46 players in the NFL right now.

There are 53 players on a regular season roster and 32 teams.

I actually don't remember Wallace getting burned once.

There was that short crossing route in the AU game that he got beat on, barely. But that's about it.

I've seen better athletes out finesse him, but he had some good recoveries on guys getting the jump on him.

I don't see a high draft pick, but he plays with a lot of discipline and that goes far...

Levi Wallace may get drafted but he is not going to last long in the NFL. I think he will be a UDFA. I don’t expect him to combine well (if he is invited). He was not even really the plan for us to start the year. The coaching staff really wanted Diggs to be the man this year and it didn’t happen.
