The 2020 NFL Draft is still technically months away, but the time has come to start figuring out where all the top-tier college talents will land at the next level.

Alabama has several of its former players currently being projected as first-round picks by other draft analysts, but we decided to do our own mock draft after diving into over 150-plus prospects (and counting).

The record for most first-round picks in a single draft by the Crimson Tide sits at four, which has happened multiple times under head coach Nick Saban.

Will this be the year that record is finally broken? According to this mock draft, the answer to that question is yes.

Note: The is the second half (picks 17-32) of Clint Lamb’s first mock draft of the offseason. The first part (picks 1-16) can be found here.

17. Dallas Cowboys – Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama

A lot of other draft analyst have LSU’s Grant Delpit as the top safety in the 2020 draft class. I, however, am not one of those people.

Sure, the difference in skill level and potential impact between the two is marginal, but at this point in their careers, I trust McKinney to be a more complete player — mostly due to more consistent tackling.

The Cowboys are desperate for a playmaker on the back end of the defense, especially with Xavier Woods going into a contract season.

McKinney can play in the box, be a single-high safety or can roll down and cover the slot as a nickel guy. That sort of versatility would go a long way in helping push an improving Dallas defense over the top.
