Draft Wire’s 2021 NFL mock draft has 6 Alabama players in first round

Simply put, Smith will go lights out in 2019. Last season, Smith was splitting reps with Henry Ruggs III and Jerry Jeudy, both of which were first-round draft picks. Smith’s decision to return for his senior year is not only going to help Alabama have a better chance of returning to the College Football Playoff, but it also will give him the opportunity to improve his draft stock. Even while splitting reps with Jeudy and Ruggs, Smith still recorded an impressive 68 receptions for 1,256 yards and 14 touchdowns, one of which sparked a second-half comeback against the Michigan Wolverines in the Citrus Bowl. This season will be Smith’s best. Just wait.
