Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicts five Alabama players will be drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft.

11. Denver Broncos – Patrick Surtain II, CB

The Denver Broncos would be doubling down on their strong belief that Alabama produces NFL talent by drafting Surtain a year after taking former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. Surtain is high on many draft boards, I’m not too sure if he’ll be around by No. 11.

9. Atlanta Falcons – Dylan Moses, LB

It came as a shock to many after Dylan Moses announced his return to Alabama after the 2019 season, the belief was that he was gone to the NFL. Well, he’s back from injury after missing all of 2019 and has something to prove. As the first Alabama player off the board Knox must have a strong feeling that Moses has a great season and increases his draft value.
