On Friday, Mel Kiper released a new NFL Mock Draft, and he has 5 Alabama players going in the fist round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Kiper believes the Colts desperately need a receiver like Jeudy:

“The Colts didn’t have much injury luck at receiver this season. T.Y Hilton missed six games. Free-agent signing Devin Funchess made it only one game, catching three passes. Second-round pick Parris Campbell caught just 18 passes in seven games. They could use a talent boost here, particularly with Hilton signed for only one more season. My comp for Jeudy for the past few months has been former Colts star Marvin Harrison, based mostly around his route running; Jeudy is already advanced as a route runner and is smooth out of his breaks. He should test well at the combine too. He’d help Jacoby Brissett on Day 1.”
