I know, I know, we aren’t even complete with the 2023 NFL draft yet, but just for fun, let’s look ahead. The 2024 draft class is going to be special. Caleb Williams, quarterback for USC, and Marvin Harrison Jr., wide receiver for Ohio State, are widely regarded as two of the best prospects at their respective positions in the past decade. As well as having some insanely high-end talent, the draft is very deep with 20 players already receiving first-round grades according to On3 Sports.
It is well-documented that Alabama has dominated the draft under the guidance of head coach Nick Saban, and 2024 will be no different. During Saban’s time in Tuscaloosa, he has had 44 players drafted in the first round compared to only 27 losses. I mean that’s just bonkers.
As things currently stand, the Tide have three players receiving first-round grades in OT J.C. Latham, EDGE Dallas Turner and CB Kool-Aid McKinstry. Even a year away, it is pretty hard to imagine any of these guys playing themselves out of a first-round grade.
The Tide have also landed two first-round picks via the portal in Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs and I don’t think Saban is done shaping his roster quite yet. Additionally, there are guys in-house that will play themselves into first-round picks.The 2024 NFL draft could be another massive one for Alabama.
