I think Barmore might slip out of the 1st round but the interior DL class is incredibly weak.
Leatherwood is a bigger risk to fall because almost everyone thinks he’s a college OT to pro OG and I agree. Unless you’re an exceptional guard prospect, you’re not a day 1 pick in the draft. He’s not even played guard in four years.
So I think Alabama ends up with 4 or 5 depending on Barmore but my hot take is that Surtain ends up going the highest. Mac Jones has the smoke around him that seems like the QB prospect pumped up to go top 5 that ends up going in the 20s. Devonta Smith may get picked after Waddle too but I’m not as confident about that one.

You never know because no one expected James Carpenter to go 1st round. He played/started at LT in JUCO and the same the next 2 years at UA. Never played guard in college and was projected to the NFL as a guard. where is was drafted as a guard in the late first round.
