Latest 247Sports 2021 mock draft projects 5 Alabama players in first round

247Sports’ latest 2021 NFL mock draft projects five members of the 2020 Alabama crimson tide team will be drafted in the first round.

The 2020 Alabama Crimson Tide football team lost a lot of talent to the 2020 NFL draft. Without Tua Tagovailoa, Jerry Jeudy Henry Ruggs III and more, which members of this upcoming season’s crew will reach national headlines as potential first round picks?

Joal Ryan of 247Sports recently released a mock draft for the 2021 draft that included five members of the 2020 Alabama team.

Here’s where Ryan projects them to land:

Ryan believes that Smith and his teammate, Jaylen Waddle are interchangeable in the first round, they are that good. This would make back-to-back drafts where Alabama has two receivers selected in the first round. Ryan also states that Bills quarterback Josh Allen would be lucky to have Smith.
