NFL mock draft roundup: Where Alabama players are projected to go
The 2022 NFL Draft is only a few months away. Three months to the day, to be exact. Usually, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide have several players projected to go somewhere in the first round, but things are a little different this time around.
Yes, Alabama did participate in a sixth national championship game over the last seven seasons, but the Tide came up short against the Georgia Bulldogs. In many ways, people feel like Saban’s group overachieved this year, which is reflected in mock drafts.
As things sit, only two former Alabama standouts are projected to go in the first round. At least six more, however, are being mocked to go sometime on Day 2. Below, we’ve put together a Crimson Tide roundup for several of the prominent mock drafts available.
Now, most of these mocks only include the first round. There are a couple that digs a little deeper, even projecting out as far as the fourth round. Check out where these experts expect several of your favorite players to go once April 28-30 rolls around.
