Despite all of the hand-wringing, Alabama finished with 10 total players drafted, behind only Ohio State (11) for the most in college football.
On top of that, the Tide was the only SEC school with multiple first round draft picks. If you missed any of them, here is the recap:Round 1, pick 12 – OT Kadyn Proctor – Miami DolphinsRound 1, pick 13 – QB Ty Simpson – L.A. RamsRound 2, pick 47 – WR Germie Bernard – Pittsburgh SteelersRound 4, pick 137 – DL LT Overton – Dallas CowboysRound 5, pick 146 – C Parker Brailsford – Cleveland BrownsRound 5, pick 149 – LB Justin Jefferson – Cleveland BrownsRound 5, pick 173 – TE Josh Cuevas – Baltimore RavensRound 6, pick 201 – CB Domani Jackson – Green Bay PackersRound 7, pick 232 – DT Tim Keenan – L.A.
RamsRound 7, pick 245 – RB Jam Miller – New England PatriotsAll in all, it was a big day three for Alabama after a slow day two. With the draft over, the undrafted free agent frenzy begins (seriously, if you think the draft is crazy, some the stories I’ve heard from NFL GMs about what happens right after it trying to convince all of the UDFAs to go places are pure chaos). Thus far, here’s the Alabama players who went out for the draft and didn’t get drafted, but have signed on with NFL squads:OL Jaeden Roberts – Philadelphia EaglesLB Deontae Lawson – Philadelphia EaglesLB Nikhai Hill-Green – L.A.
RamsOL Kam Dewberry – Atlanta FalconsDB DaShawn Jones – New Orleans SaintsSo far, OL Geno VanDeMark, punter Blake Doud, running back Dre Washington, and tight end Brody Dalton are still looking for teams. I think VanDeMark will likely find his way onto a team, but the other three probably will not. It was also a decent day for some former Tide players. who transferred elsewhere in their careers:S – Caleb Downs (Ohio State) – 1st round, pick 11 – Dallas CowboysWR- Kendrick Law (Kentucky) – 5th round, pick 168 – Detroit LionsWR – Malik Benson (Oregon) – 6th round, pick 195 – Las Vegas RaidersWR – Emmanuel Henderson (Kansas) – 6th round, pick 199 – Seattle SeahawksAnd that’s pretty much it for this year!
Hopefully we will see many of these names popping up across the NFL for years to come. Roll Tide to all!
