Mel Kiper from ESPN has five Alabama players going in the first round in his most recent mock draft for the 2020 NFL Draft.
As Kiper note, “We’re just over a week away from Round 1 (Thursday, April 23, at 8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC/ESPN App), and I wanted to go a little deeper than in my Mock Draft 3.0. You’ll notice a few changes in the first 32 picks based on what I have heard lately, and then I predicted picks 33-64, from Cincinnati to Seattle. I tried to fill post-free-agency needs and also follow my rankings to find value picks.”
Let’s see where Kiper has all 5 Alabama players going in the first round, in order of when they’re drafted.
6. Los Angeles Chargers, Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
“With Herbert going to Miami in this scenario, Tagovailoa is there for the Chargers, and he’d create some much-needed buzz around a team that is competing with the Rams in a huge market. The Chargers also have Tyrod Taylor to play right away, so Tagovailoa could take his time with his rehab from the injury that ended his season in November. If the Chargers decide to pass on a quarterback with this pick, keep an eye on their taking the top offensive tackle on the board.”
