2023 NFL mock draft: Alabama projected to break first-round record with 7 picks

A record number of seven Alabama players are projected to be drafted in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft!

The 2022 NFL draft has concluded, which can only mean one thing: it’s time to look ahead to the 2023 NFL draft!

Two former Crimson Tide stars were selected in the first round of the 2022 draft. Offensive tackle Evan Neal was selected seventh overall by the New York Giants and wide receiver Jameson Williams was drafted by the Detroit Lions.

In 2021, Alabama tied an NFL record set by Miami back in 2004 with the most players drafted in the first round with six.

Joe Marino of the Draft Network’s first way-too-early 2023 mock draft has seven current Crimson Tide players being selected, which would break the record.
